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.

Wednesday, February 21, 1894 --- Chores as usual and then they put up 40 bushels of rye, loaded it and some other things on two sleighs, and took it over to the new place. Bert spent the night at Russell Dye's.
Thursday, February 22, 1894 --- Bert helps Russell with his chores, and then Russell started for "alta". (I can't figure out where or who "alta" is??) Bert goes to S. C. Averys. Bert mentions helping John divide the rye? (Bert usually refers to his father as "pa" though his given name in John?) Bert helps with the evening chores, and then goes to spend the night at Milo Dye's place.
