January 6 thru 7, 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 6, 1894 ---  A cold day again.  Bert sits around the house till noon the day after his Mother's death.  He then goes up to his brother Herman's place, and then over to Russell Dye's place to get his clothes for the funeral.  He works for Russell Dye.


Sunday, Janaury 7, 1894 --- "A cold raw wind today and my dear mother was buried today a long and lonely day"
