Readings From Old Diaries: Recent Episodes

Lois

Meet Hattie and her daughter Blanche, real people whose real diaries were abandoned in the old farmhouse when we bought it. There are no relatives known to give them to. Hattie's first diary found here was from 1890. I won't reveal anything graphic or personal. As a matter of fact, most things are pretty mundane and hopefully will relax the listener.

Hattie's Diary, 1912. 

Not every day had been journaled. Many mentions of folks' names, some local that I recognize, and some I have not.

Hattie mentions a man going to state prison...research shows that was for adultery.
