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.

Monday, January 22, 1894 --- Bert declares it a fine day again, "but the roads was slippery". Leman and Bert went to Prattsburgh twice with loads of hay again. They then loaded up two more loads of hay ready to take to Prattsburgh tomorrow. Leman went down and spent the night with Rose (?) McConnell.
Tuesday, January 23, 1894 --- Another nice day. Leman and Bert did the morning chores, and then both went to Prattsburgh with two loads of hay for pa. They did not get back from the second run until after dark. They had supper, and then loaded hay for the next day.
