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 27, 1894 --- Bert and Leman did the chores, and each took a load of potatoes to Naples. For some reason they did not have any dinner. They loaded potatoes to take to Naples tomorrow. While in Naples today, Bert set his watch by the time at Suttons.
