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.

Friday, February 23, 1894 --- Bert does Russell Dye's chores, and then goes up to E. Hayner's place and gets his sleigh(s), and then goes and gets Russell Dye's rye grain. He then does Russell Dye's evening chores, and spends the night at Milo Dye's place.
Saturday, February 24, 1894 --- 10 below zero this morning. Bert does Russell's morning chores. He then "sorted out" 9 sheep and took them over to Milo Dye's place. He then went over to Herman's place and got his cutter and went back to Russell's place and did the chores. He says "i staid alone tonight'. Not sure what that means. Perhaps Russell is still away on his trip to Alta?? Bert notes that it is 15 below zero that night!
