An Update

I just got back from a trip to Seattle that gave me a chance to go through things we had put into storage when my mom moved. Fortunately, I found most of the journals that I know of. Granny was really very good at keeping information organized and truly valued recording family history. Conveniently, she left a slip of paper that listed all her journals (from the writing, etc. I'd guess she wrote it in the 1970's).

Vol I & II -- Aug 1908 - Oct 1909 -- lost
Vol III -- Oct 1909 - July 1910
Vol IV -- July 1910 - Sept 1910 -- lost
Vol V -- Sept 1910 - June 1911
Vol VI -- June 1911 - May 1912
Vol VIII -- May 1912 -- Sept 1912
Vol IX -- Sept 1912 - Mar 1913
Vol X -- Mar 1913 - Sept 1913
Vol XI -- Sept 1913 - Mar 1914
Vol XII - Mar 1914 - Jan 19?
Vol XIII - Jan 1915 - Apr 1915
Vol XIV -- Apr 1915 - Aug 1915

So looking at this more closely, Volume XII was lost even then, it's lightly struck through and there's a big question mark off to the side. We've managed to keep them all! Granny was meticulous with this stuff, and my mom was enthusiastic but not organized (especially more recently), so she'd take things out of albums to look at or make copies of and they wouldn't find their way back into their original spot. At any rate, I'm very glad to have the complete collection and will continue working on transcribing them.

I also found more writing she did later in life, including some even from the nursing home a few years before she died.
