‎GORDON E. HAYES‎

‎1907 and 1942 ORIGINAL UNIQUE ARCHIVE OF TWO 2 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY AN 18 YEAR OLD BOY AND THE 53 YEAR OLD MAN HE BECAME‎

‎WATERTOWN BARNES CORNERS NEW YORK. Good. 1907. On offer is an unusual pair 2 of manuscript diaries remarkable for the fact that they literally 'bookend' the life of Gordon E. Hayes of Watertown and Barnes Corners New York. The diaries are from two very different times in Gordon's life. The first being 1907 when Gordon when he was just 18 years old and the second being 1942 when he is 53. The first diary has a handwritten entry for every day of the year and the later diary has a full entry until May 24th and at this time Gordon is very sick. The early diary is so amusing and a typical diary of an 18 year old boy. Here are some snippets: 1907 "January 5th Real cloudy but did not storm today. Did chores. Papa read today. Coon Getman came today about 4 and is here tonight." "February 1st Cloudy and warmer. I went back to Uncle Wills and Clint and I came home today. I bought a gun loading set and belt and rooster $1.00." "March 3rd Cold partly cloudy. Papa and I went to put board on out house and start fire at school house. We went to Aunt Helen's too and cleaned her stove pipes." "March 24th Cloudy and rains. I came home this morning from Aunt Helen's. Big fire some where last night towards Barnes Corners." "April 15th Changeable. Cold most all the time. We boilt and catched up with sap. Had 3 pails tonight. A white owl set up here on the fence. I chased him over to Clarence Potters." "April 26th Stormed and rained and snow. Just done chores. Mr. Murtin came. Wanted one of us to go to Watertown with our milk wagon but did not have safe box. He has got to go and have operation." "June 22nd Pleasant. Lora I mama and papa all went to the picnic. 3 or 4 schools went in together. Lora and I went in the load. Clarence Todd and family came." "July 4th Pleasant celebration. Was great Elks and Canadian soldiers were all here. The Kingston and Ganoctway boys here in La Cross game. Fireworks fine." "August 22nd Pleasant. Papa and I drew hay. Fred Bostwick Elma and mother here to supper. Bryan Allen died today. Heart trouble." "August 29th Pleasant. Papa and I went to the fair and Lora went with Stones. Had a dandy time. A man looped the loop on a wheel." "September 16th Pleasant. Uncle Charley here. He's sick yet. Aunt Lene went to Montague to see if someone would do their chores. We finished grain in upper meadow." "November 27th Cold and about inch snow. Papa mama and Aunt Helen and all went to school today to hear the speaking. It was fine. Cady and Harry Stone and I slid down hill." "December 21st Pleasant. I drew manure. F. Bostwick borrowed our light bobbs. Lora Harry Cady Vivian and all went to Barnes Corners tonight. Papa mama to Murtins. Good time." 1942 "January 2nd Lionel went to work. Lois went with him and came home. Frank Thayer came tonight. Lionel took his car and Lois took Frank and Marjorie to Black River to see doctor. I at home. I done dishes. I got grip. Lionel got me a box of Hills Cold Tablets." "January 8th Cold tonight. Snow blowing. Lionel phoned in can not get home. Frank called Marjorie on phone. Marjorie and I alone. Lloyd O'Dell here in the evening. We got State Police and Death Valley days on radio. Good. Lots of headaches." "January 14th Windy and stormy. Lionel got up early. I got up 20 to 2 but he did not go till six or after. Lois went out with him. They had to walk to Elton Green's. I had a slight hemorrhage this afternoon. Felt awful for awhile but feel better tonight. Some weak." "March 5th Warmer. Snow packed. Lionel stayed out. A card party to night to South Rut Grange. Frank came tonight. I walked to Simmon's on snowshoes. Got a pound of coffee and coca. Got papers. Got Bert Green's. I took them up." "March 25th & 26th Pleasant. Lionel and I went in our woods this forenoon. Sawed sugar wood in afternoon. Took team in. Lionel drew some wood to Arch and gathered what sap. Did not run good tonight. Got a phone call from Watertown Marjorie is bad. Lionel and Lois went. Marjorie in hospital. I went to Jay Merrill's and got milk.Sap run good. I boilt. Lionel gathered sap. We syruped down. Had a good batch today. Marjorie was operated on in Sister's Hospital about one. We went down to see her. Did not see her she is real bad." "March 31st Frank Thayer came up with his car took his batry put in Lionel's car. Lionel Lois Thelma and Frank and I went to see Marjorie to Watertown. She was in pain. I got me a bottle of dope." "April 1st Lionel came in with team then and drew up wood to Arch. We syruped down tonight. I boilt till after nine had wax tonight. 8 years tonight Mildred passed away in Lowville Hospital." "April 24th Lionel and I gathered the buckets. I washed all in afternoon. 243 tonight. Jay Thelma Merrill Lionel Lois and Lewey Fuller and I went to Watertown Hospital. Saw Marjorie a little while. She is real bad. Frank did not want us to go in to see her so we won't disobey his Lordship." "May 18th Lionel Lois Thelma Merrill and I went to Lowville. Lionel took me to doctors. He sent me to hospital.

‎1917 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY - JOURNAL OF A KEEN EYED ALL-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER REPORTER COMMENTING ON THE POLITICS OF ALBANY NEW YORK THE BUILDING OF THE BARGE CANAL CONSCRIPTION LYNCHINGS BEATING GERMANY AND HIS WIFE 'HIS LITTLE MOUSE'‎

‎ALBANY NEW YORK MANHATTAN NYC NY. Very Good. 1917. On offer is a super early New York State Americana being a home-front World War I 1917 handwritten manuscript daily diary and journal of Gordon Peete Gleason. Mr. Gleason was for a time a journalist based in Albany New York the war important Barge Canal of New York was the major issue of the day and Gordon's beat and his writings in this diary attest to his talents as a writer. From the very first page we note Gordon is a talented emotive observer and a very good diarist especially in that he touches all bases: he writes of every day things such as movies he went to see his family his work duties and the issues of the day and especially current events. The war weighs very heavily on his sharp mind from a global perspective and from his personal point of view and then there's politics; local national international all occupy his thoughts which he gladly shares in the diary. He is earnest but not na�ve. He is very likable and an admirable individual. It is beautifully touching the way he describes his wife as 'his little mouse'. Research provides that our diarist was born 28 Apr 1890 in Albany NY and was a press representative for the State Engineer and Surveyor and was caring for an invalid wife and mother. His father was a Manhattan lawyer. In 1910 he is listed as a newspaper reporter in Manhattan then Albany; in 1920 as a newspaper agent in Albany and in 1930 he is a widower and he is a magazine editor in Lumberland Sullivan County NY. Here are snippets: January 1st "1917 ushered in and it starts out splendid for me. Buddy and I went down to see Governor Whitman inaugurated and he had a splendid military display. Went home full of liquid that cheers and going to bed was dead to the world and did not recover till 10:30 at night. March 16: Revolution in Russia. Czar overthrown and troops with the people. An allied move the Czar and his followers being inclined to a separate peace and some in the pay of the German Government. British win a victory in France and in Mesopotamia. Capturing Bagdad and about 20 miles of German trenches. April 17: American torpedo boat destroyer Smith fired on by German U-Boat. French started offensive yesterday 100000 German reported killed wounded or captured within 24 hours. We are still preparing for the fray. Congress is still haggling over the conscription bill. May 23 A horrid lynching at Memphis Tenn. A negro burned to the stake for murdering a white girl. Perhaps he deserved it yet the law should take its course and the South should give the negro a chance to improve himself. Just about every day has an entry. Often just a sentence or two. But there are quite a few entries where he goes on for several pages. He talks about the Draft and how married men are put in a "peculiar" position. Appears to feel somewhat guilty about not enlisting: I fear only for my dear ones and not for myself and was I independent I would have enlisted long ago. Still I owe Frances a duty and a great one and perhaps my duty means that I follow my present course.Also: As I ponder over the future and consider the past I feel I have been a failure. I can see no advancement ahead but I do see a position in the army. I feel certain I will be called to the colors and for myself I care not but for my dearest Mouse I pass many hours in worry.His draft number is 430 and it is reported missing. The last two pages contain a list of events and the days they occurred i.e. June 12: King of Greece abdicated the throne; July 1: Russia strikes in new offensive; July 20: Draft numbers drawn at Washington; etc. This is a very large 10 x 7.5 inch page a day. Some days a line and many days the page cannot contain Gordon.
