I will not be transcribing each entry since most of Bert's diary is pretty clear. You can read the original more easily by clicking on the image above to view a larger version. I will be including this paragraph, or something similar in each entry so that new readers will know they can click the image to enlarge it for easier reading. Also, there will be some links to the right of the page with relevant information that may be of interest. If you follow Bert's diary regularly, you can skip this paragraph. My notes will include the basics of what Bert talks about each day, along with my own personal thoughts, research, information gleaned from past or future entries, etc. If you have information or suggestions that may help my research, please e-mail me.

Thursday, January, 18, 1894 --- "The wind blew a gale from the south all day and it thawed a little". Leman and Bert each took a load of hay to Prattsburgh for "pa" - John Babcock. They then did the evening chores, and then loaded up two loads of hay to take to Prattsburgh tomorrow. It rained a little at night. Above freezing all day. Note Bert's sort of artistic layout of the last line. (He will be doing that quite a bit.)
