These are transcriptions of my grandmother's journals and writings from different points in her life from her girlhood diaries in Kansas in the early 1900's to her later years.

This morning about 8:30 Marshall R. came up in an auto and took us four kids to Fostoria for a "joy ride." He had to fit a telephone wire there. It was sure swell. I forgot to say that Bernice is taking music lessons from Rhoda J, two half lessons a week. Zella, Beulah & I went to an Intermediate picnic. We met at the church about four oclock. Marshall H, Lloyd R, Glenn V & John S rod their wheels. Ruth T, Cecil H, Mary H & myself rode in Harbnesse's carriage & Mina W, Beulah, Zella, Emil & Willie T rode in the other. We went to Hardenbrook first. The boys swam (all except Lloyd as he didn't know how) and then we ate supper. They they hitched up and we went to the falls. Beulah & Zella had a ride in Barney Ellege's boat. Pretty soon we started home. The first half home, Emil rode Marshall's wheel and Marshall, Willie, Ruth, Cecil & Mary rode in Marshall's rig & Zella, Beulah, Mina & I rode in the other. The last half Marshall rode the wheel & Emil rode with Zell & Beulah. We took Beulah home then Mina & John got in. Baby went to a party at Edgar Bush's. Bernice went down to Helen's.
