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.

Tuesday, March 13, 1894 --- Bert took a load of potatoes over the the new farm for John after doing the chores. Leman took a load of sleighs over to the new place. Leman went down to Charley Corey's place and spent the night. Bert "fed his face" and then went to visit J. G. McConnell. He went home with Herman and spent the night there.
Wednesday, March 14, 1894 --- Herman and Winnie Fisher, and Bert went over to Jerusalem, to get some hay for John. Bert got 5 loads, and Herman and Winnie got 4 loads. They all then went to Charley Corey's for the night. (They worked hard! Jerusalem is over near Keuka Lake - This is about a 15 mile trip - 5 loads = close to 150 miles?)
