Content Description

This diary is simply that, a diary where Julia recorded events and anniversaries in her life and that of her family. You can follow John’s work through the various places they lived. Julia records a wide range of activities.

Someone typed a transcript of the 1863 to 1869 and 1883 to 1891 diary entries. This transcript, however, is “selected.” A complete transcript is available for the 1863 to 1869 and the 1883 to 1891 diary entries. This complete transcript was transcribed by Juliette Johnson in 2017 and 2018.

The early years are a challenge to read, but the later years are easier. These problems are exacerbated by the fact that our copy of the diary is a photocopy.

Additional Description

Arrangement

Being a diary the arrangement is chronological. During processing divider sheets of paper were inserted. The year break was not always neat, so the divider is at the page where the division of years happens. See the register below for a clear understanding of the arrangement.
