GRACE ELINORE CHAPMAN [later NASH]
1930 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A YOUNG OHIO VIOLINST WHO WOULD ONE DAY SOON DEFY HER JAPANESE CAPTORS ENDURE THREE YEARS OF HORRIFIC TREATMENT AND DEPRIVATIONS EVEN WHILE PREGNANT IN PRISON ONLY TO ENDURE AND FLOURISH UNTIL HER 97TH YEAR
DELAWARE OHIO CLEVELAND AKRON OH. Good. 1930. On offer is a fascinating original January 1 1930 to November 9 1930 manuscript diary handwritten by Grace Elinore Chapman later Nash a 21 year old woman a concert violinist and teacher who would one day soon find love move to the Philippines and then in 1942 become a prisoner of war under cruel and severe treatment by her Japanese captors. Casual research finds an article regarding her life titled: "An Unbelievable Life: Mother wife teacher POW author - Grace Nash packs a lot of living into 97 years 'Amazing' Grace; Mother Wife Teacher POW Author: Grace Nash Packs a Lot of Living into 97 Years." Grace's story is truly unbelievable from how she met her husband to her capture and enduring three years of the most awful treatment and conditions and even giving birth in prison but she did endure and thrived to a goodly age. She is noted for having refused her captors admonition to give up her violin and her refusal and subsequent use of the violin led to her salvation and maintained her sanity. Her love of the violin and teaching violin led her to write 30 or so books on the subject plus she trained and taught teachers throughout the world on how to teach violin. However her first book "That We Might Live" an autobiography of her time in prison shared so that others could learn of the horrors she and her family faced. This 7 x 5 inch page a day diary book usually with full page entries describing her life friends near endless practising performing and working while trying to maintain a social life is about 2/3rd full and was written while she was at Ohio Wesleyan College in Delaware Ohio offers an unusual opportunity for researchers and historians to meet the young woman who would soon have to prove her mettle and survive when so many others did not.

MAUD[E] MAY TELFER
1888 1889 ORIGINAL PAIR 2 OF SOUTH WESTERN ONTARIO MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG INORDINATELY MATURE 12 YR OLD GIRL WHO GOES FROM PLAYING GAMES AT RECESS TO DISCUSSING THE SCOTT ACT OF 1888 FOR TEMPERANCE IN KENT COUNTY
BLENHEIM CHATHAM SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO. Good. 1888. On offer are a superb pair 2 of original 1888 and 1889 manuscript diaries handwritten by Miss Maude May Telfer a young woman born May 18th 1875 in Blenheim Kent in south-western Ontario. A very mature girl of 12 when the writings start January 2nd of 1888 it appears a much younger hand has inscribed the book as 'Private Maude's' on the title page. Thereafter Maud proves to be a dedicated diarist rarely missing a day and describing all her daily doings from school visits travel and she does a yeoman job naming all her family friends and visitors. Readers of Maud's diaries will find her to be rather exceptional. On the one hand she is like all girls of her age interested in playing at recess consulting with her girlfriends cheering on her baseball team. Just as easily she writes of Temperance and the politics of the Scott Act to her loan arrangement with her father repaying her $7.26 being the interest and capital repaid after a $6.00 one year loan she provided him. Casual research into her family found that her father James Telfer was an inventor and we note Maud makes note of his we believe first invention late in 1889. The 1888 book is an 8 x 6 inch and is over a hundred pages completely full. The 1889 book is a very large 13 x 8 inch 'Daily Journal' diary again completely filled. Here are some snippets: 'I moved that we should get up a society and Flora seconded it so we voted Flora as President Lizzie Secretary Maude Vice President and myself Treasurer
Went up the station and saw Dr Oliver Steward and his bride got away. There was a walking race in the for fifteen hours
Rennie got the Pilgrim's Progress at Sunday School yesterday and I read some of it
I went to a Missionary Meeting in the Presbyterian Church and joined a society. Lizzie Russell and I went to see Flora this evening who was sick with a cold and sore throat. There was an excursion to Detroit today but none of us went on it. Papa went to Detroit but not with the excursions
Afterwards I went to the Fairground to see the Lacrosse match between Blenheim and Ridgetown Blenheim boys won of course. After tea we went to a Free Social in the Methodist Church and a programme afterwards. It was an ice cream social Mr Livingston's farewell one
Mr Liv received a gold headed can his wife a purse
A message came to Josie this morning that Mr JS Bell is dead and so they are not going on a fishing excursion today
We reached Detroit between 12 and 1 o'clock. We went to a restaurant and had what we chose some things which were on the bill I had a sandwich and a coffee. We went to a dime museum and saw lots of curiosities
1889 Mr Martyn an elocutionist and ventriloquist visited our school this afternoon. He rendered two recitations besides Sunday other things
.This evening papa Stewart and Rennie went to Ridgetown the two former on business
I went to school there are not many at school. Measles are breaking out on Rennie. I read part of the Red House in Suburbs by Mrs O'Reilly Maude and I had a spat over Authors. I broke a piece off of a nice vase. I went and bought another vase which was some satisfaction
Grandpa Smith started for Montreal this morning. I washed my hair this morning with sulphur soap Mr Waddel called the afternoon and lent Josie and illustrated book
Maudie Matthew's is getting the measles Mildred is just getting the measles Vera is covered with measles Mamma thinks I am getting the measles
This afternoon I went to a meeting of the mission band at the Presbyterian Church
Did some errands uptown this evening and then went to an envelope social of the mission band at Miss Engles
Josie went with several others to a temperance lecture at the Grange Hall and got back about 12
I went to school Lizzie and I sat in the back seat and Lizzie accidentally tipped the seat and I landed on the floor but soon recovered. Josie and Mamma went to the temperance lecture this evening. I read some of a temperance book
This is the day in which to decide whether the Scott Act is to become law in the County of Kent or not. There is on this account an all day prayer meeting in the Baptist Church by the WCTU. Josie went to it this evening and played for about an hour on the organ
The Scott act had been defeated by a majority of 23. There was a great talk about temperance in school. The boys put For Act and Against Act on the blackboard and we were to put a cross under the side we were
We went to school we played baseball some of the boys played with us. It is fun and a good experience.'

ROBERT C SAVAGE, USN
1918 ORIGINAL WORLD WAR I UNITED STATES NAVY NATIONAL NAVAL VOLUNTEER'S MANUSCRIPT AND PHOTOGRAPHIC DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG SAILOR ON TREACHEROUS CONVOY DUTY WHO EXEMPLIFIED THE VOLUNTEER SPIRIT
Good. 1918. On offer is a super original 1918 World War I manuscript diary handwritten by United States Navy sailor Robert C. Savage N.N.V. National Naval Volunteer as inscribed on the cover of the USS South Dakota ACR-9. Robert does a super job as a diarist having added great depth to his memoir by tucking in 100 real photographs of ships ship life and the many Ports of Call plus adding further depth are a number of tipped in ephemeral pieces that go right to the heart of this sailor's soul. While this diary does an excellent job of giving a deck hand's perspective of life and service aboard the South Dakota Robert shows an enthusiasm for the ship and his service not always seen among the 'lower' decks; the journal begins we believe on the 437th day of his service in the Navy as he runs a dual number system on the pages of the lined book he has used. Along with the many many dozens of original photos he has tipped in; some of his family back home as a reminder but many more of his mates ship and other ships and more there are two official 1917 performance reports tipped in with his own comments on the distance covered; a super typed four paragraph sheet tipped in titled 'Why didn't you wait to be drafted' which addresses the question of volunteerism versus those conscripted and there is some obvious disdain for the draftees; handwritten lists of ships in convoys colliers submarine torpedo boats detailing the 6 trips the South Dakota makes from June 23 1918 leaving New York until November 18 1918 but there iss a heading for Nov 19 1918 Day 585 but the space is left blank and the rest of the book is photos or data. Likely Robert stopped telling the story of his service upon the news the war was over.Here is his final entry which reveals the man: 'Still out on the range tonight we had night firing with the searchlight playing on the target the shells fired had the tracers on them and it sure was a pretty sight to see them tearing their way thru the air light a ball of fire No news about when we will leave the old SD yet.'

Miss Mabie was an enthusiastic writer the notebook style diaries are well filled save for one about 1/3rd full dated 1908 through 1913. Six of the diaries are all about her life in Roswell but one smallish diary is specific to a 1929 trip to California. Marjorie does a super job detailing her life and times in pre War New Mexico.

Went to the library in town. Got a letter. July 1 Lilia came by before nine in the buggy and I went up to office with her. Then went and took my painting lesson. Frank was up at noon.

to/from FRANKLIN J SCHOFIELD, DECK ENGINEER et al
c1935 - 1950s ORIGINAL GROUP OF 120 MANUSCRIPT LETTERS AND EPHEMERA OF A BALTIMORE MAN OF MANY PARTS: HUSBAND FATHER STEAMSHIP DECK ENGINEER SEAMAN'S UNION REPRESENTATIVE SHIP BOARD NEGOTIATOR AND LABOR ACTIVIST
S.S. NORFOLK BALTIMORE MARYLAND. Good. 1935. On offer is a fascinating eclectic archive of original mostly manuscript correspondence and some ephemera relating to Franklin J. Schofield Deck Engineer aboard the S.S. City of Norfolk. The 120 or so letters date c1935 through to 1950 present a diverse group of papers to flesh out this man's life: husband sailor engineer union representative and much more. There are letters to and from his wife in Baltimore Maryland there are letters to them both in Baltimore there are many letters sent to Schofield while aboard ship with postmarks from Cuba England Scotland and many other locations. A fair bit of the correspondence relates to his union activities and the concerns of he and his fellow seaman making for a fascinating insight to the machinations of the seafaring unions: one letter from a fellow seaman references a sit down strike in Boston that Schofield helped organize and this seems to have come back to haunt him later in life. There are several typed letters from the Seaman's Union preparing for major unrest and strikes. A particularly fascinating piece of ephemera appears to be a handwritten resolution to negotiate with the powerful ship owners which Schofield wrote while he was aboard ship in Panama. Overall G. HISTORICAL NOTES: One online source: The ship was built by the British Admiralty at Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation in Alameda California and completed as SS Independence for the War Shipping Board on November 16 1918. With the commencement of World War I the ship was acquired by the US Navy and commissioned the USS Independence on November 18 1918. After service in the War the ship was decommissioned on March 20 1919 and turned over to the United States Shipping Board for merchant service. In 1930 it was acquired by the Baltimore Mail Steamship Company rebuilt as a passenger liner renamed the SS City of Norfolk and sailed regularly to Europe. In 1940 it was then acquired by the US Navy again recommissioned the USS Neville and served in both the Asiatic-Pacific and the Europe-Africa-Middle East theaters during World War II. Decommissioned on April 30 1946 the ship was eventually towed to the James River National Defense Reserve Fleet in Lee Hall Virginia and ultimately sold for scrap on March 25 1957. The USS Neville earned 5 battle stars for World War II service.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF S.S. NORFOLK FRANKLIN J.
