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.

Bernice went to Harveyville this afternoon with Aunt Bessie and came back this evening. Papa, Baby, Zella & I rode to town this afternoon. Zella stayed at Beulah's for supper and then went to the Majestic. Helen J. came out here and stayed all night to-night. I guess Miss S. is going to teach here again next year and I guess Miss Terrill's daughter Olive is going to teach in Miss Mc's place.

Marshall N. has gone to Clifton, Kansas (where Miss Hepworth taught last year) to work in a telephone co. He went away without coming to see us or even telling us "goodbye". Zella has a sty.

Bernice & I went to S.S. Everyone in our class was present. Then I stayed to church with Irene and I went home to dinner with them too. We sat out in the hammock this afternoon and read our S.S. papers. Then I told her, "none but the brave -- " and tshe told me, "Lena Rivers." Of course Ernest went to see Eva this afternoon. The rest of us went to church to-night and they took me home. Bernice went to Junior this afternoon. Beulah was here for dinner and Clifford & Ogilvia came out. I like to go to Irene's. I always enjoy myself.

Bess M. and Beulah rode out here for a little while last night. Mr. Pratt has four cows out here now and all of them have calves. Zella went to town this afternoon and I sent a letter to Marguerite W. Zella stayed at Beulah's for supper and I suppose they went to the Majestic. We all rode to town to-night. We went to Grandma's first and Aunt Bessie, etc. came home from Topeka to-night. Beulah is to stay all night with Zella to-night.
