The journals that I have access to start September 1, 1889. Here we go!
Sept. 1
A bright sunshining day. We all stayed at home. James Benett came down. He learnt us a different way to play 6/8 time. George Shepard and Frank H.(too hard to read) was here in the afternoon. We were all staying at home in the evening to eat supper for the third time this summer.
Gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day!
