January 20 thru 21, 1894




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.

Saturday, January 20, 1894 --- "The wind blew forty miles momet"  I'm not at all sure what that means, other than it was probably very windy?  Leman and Bert haul two more loads of hay each to Prattsburgh.


Sunday, January 21, 1894 --- "the wind blew lather to shave", and it rained, then hailed, and then snowed!  A pretty bad patch of weather!   Bert goes over to Russell Dye's place, and then down to L.S.(?) Horton's, and then back home. So far Bert has made no mention of church activities on Sundays, or any other day?
