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.

Sunday, March 11, 1894 -- Bert declares it a nice day after starting out cloudy. Bert helped do the chores at John Babcock's, and then went over to Russell Dye's to shave and change his shirt and drawers. He then went up to E. Hayner's for dinner, and then he went over to Herman's. Bert then "came down home" - still not sure if this is John Babcock's, or Russell Dye's??
Monday, March 12, 1894 --- A nice day again. Bert does the chores, and then Leman and Bert put up two more loads of oats and took them over to the new place.
