‎1913 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY BY A HARD DRINKING HARD DATING EAST LYNN MASSACHUSETTS MAN‎

‎EAST LYNN MASSACHUSETTS MASS MA BOSTON AREA. Good. 1913. On offer is an original 1913 handwritten manuscript diary by Edward E. Avery who lived in and around East Lynn Massachusetts mentioning frequent trips to Swampscott East Lynn Boston Salem and Olympia. This is a very interesting look at a pre World War I American male as he passes his days dating drinking bowling and hanging out with his pals. While he initially begins the year seeming a placid fellow as the weather warms so does his temperament as he has a scrap or two with his pals and he has plenty of girl trouble and not only trouble between different girl friends but also with their parents. His very last sentence for the year on December 31st seems to sum it all up: "I suppose there will be trouble now for we were almost caught tonight." While we are uncertain of his age though most certainly a young man 20-25 we approximate or profession here are snippets that will enlighten: 1913 "Janaury15th Cold in a.m. Warmed up and rained a little in the evening. Tonight I meet G. F. at 7:15. We took the 7:30 train for Salem. Went into the Empire Theatre to see "The Easiest Way." It was a great play and played by a good company. The 11:09 was twenty minutes late so we didn't get home until 12. I won't see her again until Sat. evening. None of the fellows up to the house have been near me except Stewart and he came down Sunday because I asked him to so as to pay him what I owed him." "January 19th Clear and very warm for this time of year. I didn't get up until noon. I read all the p.m. Went across the street and engaged board then met G. F. We went to the Chinese restaurant and had supper. She came up in the room until 9:30. I don't know but I guess she thinks I am slow well I am not that kind of a fellow and she will find out so when she knows me better. I wrote a letter home one to New Mexico. My sister comes tomorrow. Cut out cigarettes today for some time. I don't know how long it will last." "February 16th I didn't get up until 10:30. Wrote a letter home one to N.M. Went out and had dinner. Down to Peaves. Went up with Jammie F. to his room at 4. We came up in the square and picked up a couple of girls from Salem. I left them and met G. F. at 6:15. She came down to the room and stayed until 10. I have her guessing for fair but I am sick of girls and all that goes with them. It is a damn nescience to be bothering around with them. Went in Hunt's and had supper at 12 o'clock. I think I will get married." "March 1st Nothing goes right and I am always wrong. I try to do what is right and am always taken as bad. I think I will get out of Lynn before long but what's the use." "March 2nd ……I have been fighting depression. I don't know. I don't seem to find joy in anything or something. I wonder why I ever was born. I suppose life is what we make it but I can't make myself happy. Something seems to be plucking love!" "April 17th Fair. Left Lynn at 9:15. Dinner at Portsmouth at Ham's. Won't serve any beer said we were drunk. Got ditched twice……" "April 24th Down to Auditorium tonight with G. F. and Mr. and Mrs. Denton. Came home. Fellow was going to murder a girl on Broad St. Some excitement for a time. 11:30." "May 9th In shop most of day. Tonight G. F. was down to room. We had a little falling out. She was mad because a girl called me up and drove because Rich is going to meet her tomorrow night. If she wants to see me again she is to call me up. I shall never call her. She is altogether too mean for me. She doesn't like any of my friends and everything I do is wrong. A hell of a lot I am…." "May 30th & 31st Left Lynn at 8:15 for Centerville Cape Cod. Had a blow out before we got to Point of Pines. 45 minutes to change shoe. Cape at 2.…Out fishing at 7:30. Over to Hyannis to Dennis this p.m. toyed around until 10:15. Bed." "July 29th Met V.G. tonight. Over to band concert on High Rock. Came home. She said she was willing to marry me…." "August 14th Took Misses down to Swampscott. Up to V.C's Up canoeing. Home. Had a nightcap. Tried out V.C. Nothing doing. She is as good as gold. Her sisters are always picking on her. I am going to have a talk with her mother." "August 28th Home. Drunk tonight. Louis and Jim took care of me. Louis and I went over to Nahant and got a quart. Took Miss Hyde and Polly over. Broke shifting lever." "September 22nd ……Called up V.C. at 9:30. Talked until 12:30. All we did was scamp. She got sore over nothing and I helped it along. I wert sore but she thinks I am. Nothing doing. I love her too much but I do like to kid her poor child." "October 8th Didn't work today. Out a little while this p.m. Up to V.C's tonight. Some one told Olive that I told them V.C. was up to my room last night. They are all mad with me up there except V.C. The poor kid. I have only made life hard and miserable for her ever since we met. I am wrong for I have always tried to be on the square with her that is more than I ever did for anyone else. But from now on I shall cut Guy Roberts and Jim Delong off my list of friends." "October 10th Went to work at seven. Bors told me I was to go with him to the Mts. All my troubles seem to come in a bunch. I guess I have lost V.C. I can't loose her. I had about as soon die as to loose her. Her sisters are all to blame. I may be better off without any girl but I never before loved as I do her. Why don't she call me up Olive said she would as soon as she got home. It is now 11:15. Surely she is home by now." "October 14th Snow about 2 inches. Something seldom heard of. Well I am back in Lynn but I guess I shall love V.C. I meet her tonight and her mother has given her the choice of school or me. If I love her it won't be for long because I can't give her up and I think she love me too. We drove about all the way in snow." "November 24th Had card from G. D. F. today saying she was in Lynn. Didn't see V.C. or haven't heard from her tonight. She may call me up later. I was down and bowled a couple of lines tonight. I am in a bad box now. I don't know how to work it. G. F. wants me back and I don't want to go. The game will be hard and V.C. will have to help me but we can win with all she can say." "November 29th ……Met V.C. at 9:30. She wants me to leave her for a month to show her mother that she doesn't care for me or something. I couldn't just get it. Anyway she has changed her mind over. Why can't we get along without so much trouble First one then the other. Will it ever end It has been going on almost from the day I met her." "December 31st ….Met V.C. Put car in Essex. She and I came up here. Both went to sleep woke up at 11:30. Down to commons to concert. Took her home in car. Left her at 1. Doron got Boss at 2. Home at 2:15. V. is sick. I can't find out what is the matter with her. I don't want her to get sick. It is hard enough now as it is. I suppose there will be trouble now for we were almost caught tonight." There is so much more to this diary. He writes for every day of the year and since this is a "page a day" diary his entries are usually quite long. And as with most diaries lots of names are mentioned some of which are; Gertrude French Phillips Mae Perry Al Mitchell Lucy Dixon Dearborn Guy Roberts Fred Woodward Denton Hastings Hubbard and more.

Here are snippets of this wonderful diary: "June 7th In the afternoon our arrival train for the west came along arriving at Beaver Dam. James Watson left arrived at camp at 8 o'clock.

Then formed again and marched up to town. Gov. Lewis heading the cavalcade. Marched around the park and then up to the Capitol when Gov. Lewis made a speech. Then Mr. Abbott also spoke. Then the Regt. marched to Camp Randall to the barracks. Many go to Hotels. The boys look hard and doubtless feel sad as well pleased now that we are to disband leaving so many of our brave comrades behind us. Mostly in Old Virginia.

So here I will close my war diary……" "October 23rd Emma Sophia is just recovering from a very severe attack of throat disease. Oct. 21st at 11 a.m. we all thought her dying beyond all hopes of recovering but revived about 12 noon and is some better but cross and peevish…." "1865 "June 5th ……4 years ago this day I left Grand Rapids to join the Beaver Dam Rifles a memorable day." "July 25th Floods all over the county. Fences swept away hay floated off on Musketoe Creek. Keeps raining until 8 a.m. Musketoe bridge partly floated off." "October 13th W. H. Whitman comes back from the army sick." The diary does not have a cover the first page is the only faded page that is tough to read but after that his writing is very legible. There are just over 100 pages counting front and back that have handwritten entries on them. Sometimes he writes every day for weeks at a time and other times he writes sporadic entries. There is a small span of a few months from August 27th 1864 to October 22nd 1864 that he skips his entries. He comes home for good and finds his wife very sick with diphtheria.

‎ARCHIVE LOT OF 3 DIARIES 1903 1907 AND 1912 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT FROM WAYNE COUNTY NEW YORK AREA‎

‎WAYNE COUNTY NEW YORK NY. Good. 1903. Leatherette. Group of three handwritten diaries 1903 1907 1912 kept by this Civil War veteran who lived and farmed in Wayne County New York. Bindings and contents in very good condition. approx 6" x 3" 3 volumes 103pp in all written legibly in pencil. At the end of each volume is a detailed ledger of expenses yielding more details of farming. The author's style is eccentric semi-literate and very flavorful. For example: "Went over to the Collins Berring burying ground Mr. Wells was agointo put up some Hed Stones for Roswell and Matilda"; &c. &c. Together the three diaries give a comprehensive picture of life running a small-but-prosperous farm and orchard in upstate New York near Lake Ontario at the turn of the 20th century as reported by a simple unemotional but thorough man who does not identify himself. The author is fairly well off hiring a man or two to help with the field work almost every day although he works alongside the hired men. He also holds several mortgages on other people's properties. The diaries contain many details about working in the orchard and fields selling farm produce and livestock as well as doing maintenance to keep the farm and farmhouse operative. We also observe the changes in his farm chores and home activities as this Civil War veteran gets up in years. Visits to nearby towns are recorded: Rose; North Rose; Clyde; Lyons; Wolcott; Palmyra; State Fair at Syracuse; etc. Binding is cloth/leather.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; WAYNE COUNTY NEW YORK HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL PERSONAL HISTORY MEMOIR MEMORIAL DIARY JOURNAL DIARIES JOURNALS LOG LOGS KEEPSAKE AMERICANA . hardcover‎

‎HARRY O LANNING‎

‎1911 - 1914 ARCHIVE OF HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARIES BY AN ASTUTE WIDOWED INDIANA SCIENCE TEACHER AS HE PURSUES HIS NEW LOVE - SUPER PRE WORLD WAR I AMERICANA‎

‎SWEETSER INDIANA IN. Good. 1911. Leather. On offer is an archive of four 4 handwritten manuscript diaries there is a 5th book only partially written mostly religious poetry representing the years 1911 1912 1913 and 1914. The diaries belonged to Harry O. Lanning who was a science teacher at the high school in Sweetser Indiana at the turn of the century. This diary set is an extraordinary record of pre-World War I Indiana with a sweet and interesting back story of romance too. Harry was born on October 21st 1882. His parents are William J. Lanning and Mary F. He has three brothers; Carl Hugh and Paul. Research suggests he was also a widower at the time the diaries were written because on several occasions he mentioned things like "she being a widow too" and other such phrases. Throughout all 4 of these well filled diaries you'll find Harry courting a woman by the name of Edith Lucille Cranor. Edith was born on April 13th 1889 and her folks are McClellan and Florence V. Chenoweth. The on-again off-again love affair and courtship of these two makes for a simmering backdrop to local news his duties and other 'affairs' as at times both are seeing other people. At one point Edith takes a 3 month trip to the West Coast and Harry finds out by word of mouth she wants to stay in the west and teach in New Mexico. That never turned out because on May 21st 1914 Edith and Harry marry. Harry is also very interested in politics especially with the Roosevelt elections and talks about the events surrounding the election a great deal. His teaching takes up a great deal of his life also not quite as much as Edith does and when it comes to writing about any of it Harry doesn't leave anything out. He's a member of the organization "Red Men" I believe it might be The Improved Order of Red Men fraternity and not only writes about his meetings but also mentions the surrounding Indian villages. Harry is a marvelous writer too. Here are just a few snippets of this marvelous bit of Hoosier Americana: 1911 "January 2nd School started off nicely after the vacation. Everybody seems to like the new program better than the older one. Well they all ought to considering the trouble I had to make it. Carl Masterson has started in bringing our number again to 49; but I am not certain that he will stick. Worked until 10 p.m. on the Red Men's books but we can't make a report. I had a suspicion that I was "stung" when the sachem put me on the audition committee and now I know it. The books are in a fearful tangle showing either ignorance or willful neglect on the part of at least two of the chiefs. The other members of the committee are Furgeson and Jerry Flinn. I imagine the report when it does come in will be an eye opener." "January 20th Edith Cranor called up this morning before I was out of bed to tell me that a little deal we had prearranged was due for this evening. So this evening I took Ferguson and went out to call on her and her friend Miss Shamshaw of Marion. We had a very pleasant time. About 10:30 I spread my handkerchief over the face of the clock and when I did look at my watch it was 1:10. Miss Edith informed me that she often spent her Sunday evenings alone in fact she took pains to repeat it three times with emphasis so I am just conceited enough to take it as a suggestion and shall act accordingly. Funny I haven't had a girl or even a chance at one for so long and now I have three chances at once…." "February 21st ……Went to lodge this evening. The tribe honored me by elevating me to the Prophet's stump. After lodge Ferguson and I went to the missionary tea to the parsonage. I took Edith home according to schedule….I didn't want to wait until Sunday to see Edith again so I asked for Thursday evening in case the other affair is cancelled…." "March 11th ……In the afternoon I went to the Indiana to see the Countess Swiriska in her famous bare foot dances. She is certainly an artist and seemed totally oblivious to the fact that her attire was well scanty. As Edith had said she was going I was not surprised to see her and Mary S. there. She was enthusiastic in her and I am delighted to find that she is not a prude. Came home at 6:13. Went to lodge we had to take the first degree…." "April 24th This has been a very quiet day at school the lull before tomorrow's storm. The Juniors spent a part of the day in cleaning up the mess of last Friday nights reception. Edith came home this evening at 6:13. I met her and drove out north with her. I had seen her mother at church and told her it would please me very much if she Mrs. Overman would remain quietly at home and let me meet the girl. And she did. As tomorrow night is commencement and we both act I came home at 10:30. Talked with Mr. Shockey this evening and told him I did not want Cohn retained for next hear. He is too foolish after the little girls." "April 26th Was over at the school building this forenoon straightening up. We all settled with Shockey. It is the understanding that the Supt. and Assistant will be retained but that we will have a new principal. Cohn shook the dust of Sweetser from his feet this afternoon and departed for parts unknown. Was sorry to "sting" him but did not feel that it would be to the best interest of the school to keep him. The board looked over the building this forenoon and decided to give us an addition to the building and to put in furnace heat. Shockey told me definitely that I was to be retained and has left the interests of the school in my hands for the summer……" "May 3rd ….Met Edith at the train and we drove home. Enjoyed the drive very much. I wonder if I shall get to thinking so much of her that I shall attempt to "cut out" all my rivals for her affection. There is only one serious rival I think Mr. L. of Galveston…." "May 15th ……Saw Edith today in her working clothes and with her hair done up in everyday style. They are cleaning house but she looked good to me even that way and the girl that can stand that test is certainly all o.k…." "August 6th ….Am more than a little uncomfortable about last evenings developments; but am still hoping it will come out all right. Don't know just how much I care but it is more than a little. This evening I walked and walked and thought about the things she told me to think of but didn't solve the problem. Her greatest kick seems to be that I have been too good to her. Funny thing to kick about but she says I don't understand girls. I admit it. What man does. Am going to bed now 9:15 and try to forget it till morning…." "October 29th ….Edith came home today. She got into Marion last night or rather this morning at two. Saw her at the train this evening. She brought Mary Shamshaw up. Mary had spent the day with her. Didn't ask to go out only told her to call when she got ready to see me. This meant I was ready any time. Can't just figure how I stand with her…" "November 27th The John Stevens funeral was held today. Ferguson and I went up to the hall at eight and marched up with the Red Men. Then we held school until rest and dismissed about a half hour during the funeral. It has not been our policy to dismiss for funerals but said Stevens was related to almost half of the pupils and while I could not personally feel any great respect for a man who had been in the saloon business and wished to enter it again still he was a Red Man…." 1912 "January 29th ….I hear they had a scene at church last night. Vella Masterson was overcome with excitement and hysterics and lay unconscious for several hours. This is the natural result of the band of preaching that has been put out. It is a pity the courts can't be induced to grant injunctions in such cases." "January 30th Used my whole page last evening and didn't have room to say that Frank R. Ferguson Hugh and I played cards at Renbarger's while Pearl was at church. After she came home we took her in and played rum till 11:30. She reported another scene at church. A quarrel between John Spencer and his wife as to whether she should make a show of herself. Tonight I went to church and the measly little preacher made certain remarks for my special benefit that made me rub his name off my list of gentlemen. He hoped that my influence which was keeping the students from become Christians would soon be removed. This was wholly uncalled for and is utterly false." "February 29th Took Mills to see "Naughty Marietta" this evening. Enjoyed the show very much and altogether had a very pleasant trip. Although the evening was rather cold we managed to keep each other comfortably warm. It seems that she has "promised to be true" to J.J. but I am not sure that if he knew he would think she had kept her promise. In fact I am sure he would think she had not. But that is his lookout and hers not mine. I am by nature a poacher and she is very lovable as well as loving little girl. I shall look for every opportunity to poach some more." "April 8th Mr. Ferguson and Lucille had a misunderstanding today and the affair come to me to settle. As Mr. Ferguson tells me he charges Lucille with impertinence or even impudence. As she tells me he charged her with attempting to flirt with him during school hours. The affair is causing some stir. Mrs. Stife feels grievously offended over it." "April 17th ……Have spent the evening reading among other things the news of the Titanic disaster. Titanic hit iceberg in mid ocean Sunday night and went down. 1300 drowned 700 saved in life boats is wireless report…." "May 2nd ….The supreme court has decided that Marion is dry territory and that the saloon licenses issued last Sept. by Judge Nash are invalid or rather the case from Kokomo decided by the supreme court is similar and the decision applies to Marion. All the saloons are closed and Marian is again a dry town…." "May 23rd ….Spent the morning making that map of the Indian lands for Sarah Line. Had dinner with G. H. Terell and talked my township supervision proposition over with him. He is anxious to give it a trial next thing is to get Shockey in line for it……""May 26th ….This afternoon I attended the memorial meeting with the Red Men. Rev. Shannon delivered the address. It was excellent. The size of the audiences was disappointing both in number of Red Men and of Pale Faces. It seems that Cuyama tribe is dying out as fast as it possibly can. This evening I lay in the hammock from 6:00 to 9:15.…" He also mentions the Shanahan and the Peconga Tribes "June 20th & 21st ….The convention was in session only five minutes today. It is waiting for the report of the credentials committee. Everything seems to indicate that the Roosevelt men will be forced to quit the convention and form a new party. If they do they can count me in….No change in the political situation. The Taft credentials committee sustained the committee made delegates and they voted themselves in…" "July 7th ….Attended the new party meeting at the hotel this evening. I was chosen delegate for this township to the state convention with Wm Baum as alternate. Reports from all over the country indicate that the new party will win. At least Taft will not be in the race at all." Goes to the district convention and describes it "August 25th ….Met Edith at the train this evening and took her home. Dr. Daniel's were there and after a little visit with them we went for a drive. We went to Connor's back to Jalapa and then around the Wabash Pike almost to the park and home over the Chapel Pike. It was a beautiful night and we had a dandy drive. There was a full moon and we did a little of something that rhymes with "it" Home at twelve a.m……" "October 13th ……We took a drive over to the Indian Village. Got back after supper at 6:30.….We had some rather serious conversation this evening and I committed myself to the point of saying that while she had the right to have dates with other fellows if she wished I intended to try to get her to the point where she wouldn't want the others. I know it would mean a great deal to me for us to quit finally." "October 15th ….Roosevelt was shot by a fanatic at Milwaukee last night but is not thought to be in a dangerous condition. Think it will help rather than hinder his campaign. Still wondering what will be the outcome of my affair with Edith." 1913 "February 11th Everything ok at school. Went to Marion this evening. Saw Nels Shockey on the street at 7:30. Bertha has disappointed him completely. She came to town with him this morning and was to start home at four. Spent the whole evening with Nels trying to get some trace of her. We were at the police station and laid a case before Philips. Bertha was to be married Thursday to Glen Philips of Converse. She has either been kidnapped or has gone away to avoid her marriage. I am inclined to the latter view of the case…." "February 13th ……No clues to Bertha's disappearance yet. This was to have been her wedding day……." "February 20th …We have news this evening that Bertha Shockey has been found. She was found on the street in Lafayette and was brought to Wabash this afternoon. She doesn't know what has happened to her or where she has been during these nine days……" "March 25th Only half attendance at school. Roads flooded so they could not get in. Rain all day and again tonight. Marion under water. Destructive storms reported all over the country. 20 dead in tornado at Terre Haute. Train running irregularly or not at all…….News is scarce. No papers are coming into town. Trains not running regularly. Reports say 3000 dead at Dayton O. from bursting of dam; over 1000 lost at Pecqua and 150 at Peru…." 1913 "June 6th Had a great picnic today. Started at 8:30 this morning and just got home. Drove to the historic Frances Slocum burying ground. Had a picnic dinner and took picture with Milt's camera. At 4:30 we started back. Crossed the river at Somerset and camped for supper at our favorite place along the river road. Made a fire and broiled steak. Sat by the fire until 8:30 and then started home reluctantly. Would have rather had less driving time and more time for a picnic. Our little camp fire made us wish the time for our real camping would come sooner." "October 7th ….Edith has not quite made up her mind yet. Admits that she cares enough for fair weather but is not sure that her liking is great enough for the storms yet. Thinks that she will be able to tell me something before many days if I will but have patience." "October 12th ….Edith said three little words I have been waiting for so long and I am the luckiest man in the world. She is not sure that she cares enough yet for me to talk to her mother about it but we are certainly getting along. Don't think it will be long until I have some serious conversation with Mrs. O and invest in a diamond." "October 24th ….We are about to make our important decision. She said she would tell me "yes" or "no" Sunday. Don't think it will be "no" because she let me take her ruby ring so I could get one with a diamond in to fit the same finger." 1914 "May 21st Got up at 5:45. Paul took mother and me out to Overman's at seven and went back for father. After some trouble such as having a shirt too small and getting another brought out I got dressed and ready at 8:25. At 8:50 the ceremony was over and Edith was Mrs. L. breakfast was finished by ten and at eleven we left for Marion. Geo. B. brought us over. Golda Pearl and Madge S. came with us. After showering us with rice they left at twelve. We left Marion on the Big 4 at 12:20. Arrived at Indianapolis at 3:10 and are located at Hotel Metropole. Have taken things very easy for the little wife's sake since we got here. Didn't go out any place and I brought supper to the room. The only incident was a fire at the Plaza across the street. We are preparing for bed at nine. Am mighty glad things are as they are." The covers of all of the diaries are in poor condition but the pages and the bindings look great so please keep that in mind. These diaries are a treasure trove of genealogical information as there are many hundreds of people mentioned including just these few: Carl Masterson Jerry Flinn Frank Renbarger Starbuck Mary Mallott Mabel Stephens Virgil Stevens Bert Bragg Earle Anderson Vella Masterson Line Gerald Trowbridge Rev. Zerby Hollie Smith Vaughn Leming and so many more. The last little diary has hardly any entries but one very important one in the front. There is also a University of Maryland Matriculation card I found slipped between the page belonging to Mary F. Riddick Lanning. It dates from the 1950's. The diary however is from 1905 and in the front it says "December 18th 1905 Three more days until I will be a married woman. Dearest Savior guide me keep me near thy side. Help me to hold thee up in my new home. O! Help me for I trust only in thee…." Not sure who this belongs to. There are about 35 handwritten pages mostly religious poetry.

‎NICOLAS MARY DESFONTAINES by way of JEAN BARATGIN‎

‎1759 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT FRENCH CATHOLIC RELIC: THE TRAGEDY OF SAINT ALEXIS SAINT ALEXIS TRAGEDIE or L'ILLUSTRE OLYMPIE: "Tragédie copiée par moy Jean Baratgin habitant du lieu de Bourisp le 24 May mil Sept Cent cinquante neuf 1759"‎

‎BOURISP FRANCE PYRENEES. Good. 1759. Manuscript. On offer is a super relic of French Catholic devotion being a manuscript book of the famed story "Saint Alexis" or "L'illustre Olympie" by Nicolas Mary Desfontaines b. circa 1610 in Rouen d. 4 February 1652 in Angers; actor playwright and novelist and noted French poet see BIO NOTES. Over 80 pages handwritten by a young Pyrenees student in very nice steady calligraphic hand and as stated on the title page: "Tragédie copiée par moy Jean Baratgin habitant du lieu de Bourisp le 24 May mil Sept Cent cinquante neuf 1759". A separate title page at the rear identifies the Teacher M. Jure and the Ecole Bourisp. One online source provides: "The best known of the early Old French saints' lives is the Vie de Saint Alexis the life of Saint Alexis a translation/rewriting of a Latin legend. Saint Alexis fled from his family's home in Rome on his wedding night and dwelled as a hermit in Syria until a mystical voice began telling people of his holiness. In order to avoid the earthly honor that came with such fame he left Syria and was driven back to Rome where he lived as a beggar at his family's house unrecognized by all until his death. He was only identified later when the pope read his name in a letter held in the dead saint's hand. Although the saint left his family in order to devote his life more fully to God the poem makes clear that his father mother and wife are saved by the Alexis' intercession and join him in Paradise. The earliest and best surviving text is in St. Albans Psalter written probably at St Albans England in the second or third decade of the twelfth century. Saint Alexius or Alexis of Rome was an Eastern saint whose veneration was later transplanted to Rome a process facilitated by the fact that according to the earlier Syriac legend that a "Man of God" of Edessa Mesopotamia who during the episcopate of Bishop Rabula 412-435 lived by begging and shared the alms he received with other poor people was after his death there found to be a native of Rome. The Greek version of his legend made Alexius the only son of Euphemianus a wealthy Christian Roman of the senatorial class. Alexius fled his arranged marriage to follow his holy vocation. Disguised as a beggar he lived near Edessa in Syria accepting alms even from his own household slaves who had been sent to look for him but did not recognize him until a miraculous vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary singled him out as a "Man of God." Fleeing the resultant notoriety he returned to Rome so changed that his parents did not recognize him but as good Christians took him in and sheltered him for seventeen years which he spent in a dark cubbyhole beneath the stairs praying and teaching catechism to children. After his death his family found writings on his body which told them who he was and how he had lived his life of penance from the day of his wedding for the love of God. St Alexius' cult developed in Syria and spread throughout the Eastern Roman Empire by the 9th century. Only from the end of the 10th century did his name begin to appear in any liturgical books in the West. Since before the eighth century there was on the Aventine in Rome a church that was dedicated to St Boniface. In 972 Pope Benedict VII transferred this almost abandoned church to the exiled Greek metropolitan Sergius of Damascus. The latter erected beside the church a monastery for Greek and Latin monks soon made famous for the austere life of its inmates. To the name of St Boniface was now added that of St Alexius as titular saint of the church and monastery known as Santi Bonifacio e Alessio. It is evidently Sergius and his monks who brought to Rome the veneration of St Alexius. The Eastern saint according to his legend a native of Rome was soon very popular with the folk of that city and this church being associated with the legend was considered to be built on the site of the home that Alexius returned to from Edessa. St Alexius is mentioned in the Roman Martyrology under 17 July in the following terms: "At Rome in a church on the Aventine Hill a man of God is celebrated under the name of Alexius who as reported by tradition abandoned his wealthy home for the sake of becoming poor and to beg for alms unrecognized." While the Roman Catholic Church continues to recognize St Alexius as a saint his feast was removed from the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints in 1969 which lists the saints to be celebrated everywhere at Mass and in the Liturgy of the Hours of the Roman Rite. The reason given was the legendary character of the written life of the saint. The Catholic Encyclopedia article regarding St. Alexius remarked: "Perhaps the only basis for the story is the fact that a certain pious ascetic at Edessa lived the life of a beggar and was later venerated as a saint." The Tridentine Calendar gave his feast day the rank of "Simple" but by 1862 it had become a "Semidouble" and in Rome itself a "Double". It was reduced again to the rank of "Simple" in 1955 and in 1962 became a "Commemoration". According to the rules in the present-day Roman Missal the saint may now be celebrated everywhere on his feast day with a "Memorial" unless in some locality an obligatory celebration is assigned to that day. The Eastern Orthodox Church venerates St Alexius on 17 March. Five Byzantine Emperors four Emperors of Trebizond and numerous other eastern European and Russian personalities have borne his name. The tale of St Alexius has parallels with that of The Prodigal Son as told in the biblical Book of Luke. As it appears in Legenda aurea later retold in the Gesta Romanorum it is almost identical with a tale told of the Tathagata Buddha in the famous Lotus Sutra.

‎HORACE G CHASE‎

‎1844 HANDWRITTEN DIARY OF A 17 YEAR OLD BOSTON BOY DETAILING THE LIFE OF YOUNG MAN AND THE POLITICS OF THE DAY‎

‎BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1844. On offer is an original 1844 manuscript diary handwritten by Horace G. Chase of Boston Massachusetts. Mr. Chase is 16 years old when he starts detailing his daily life on July 2nd turning 17 only six days later on the 9th. In a half ream 22 leaves 'Quarto Post' purchased in New Hampshire Chase writes densely even using the rear endpaper his observations travels and opinions. Horace keeps his sailboat at Liverpool Wharf and in one of his early entries proves himself to be a charming fellow for the most part given how eruditely he writes of being thankful for a very fine and pleasant day that could only have been made more pleasant if he had the company of his parents. Another time he notes after a rough day: "Three cheers for home." Later on another side of his character is revealed: "The Democrat boys and the coon boys had their grand torch light procession. I saw the Whigs and they looked…reaching the whole length of Tremont St almost. They had quite a skirmish with some rowdys." Horace relishes the politics of the day and 1844 was eventful but as with any hard working teenager of the time he works in the shop eats a lot of ice cream walks with his friends Enoch and John visits Colonel and Mrs. Chase uncle and aunt perhaps and spends a fair bit of time at the Library with his friends. Horace rarely fails to mention visitors and place names throughout including John Kieth Captain Green Dr. Savony S. Stinson Mr. Jenney plus many many more. The diary ends when he is reunited with his Father and brother Charley on December 23rd at Concord.

‎MAJOR SIDNEY G PAGE‎

‎1943 ORIGINAL WORLD WAR II MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY AN OBSERVANT MEDICAL OFFICER STATIONED IN ORAN WITHIN WEEKS OF THE CITY'S FALL TO THE ALLIES AND AMID THE EXCITEMENT OF THE BUILD UP TO THE INVASION OF ITALY‎

‎ORAN ALGERIA. Good. 1943. On offer is a super exciting World War II manuscript diary handwritten by Major Sidney G. Page from the 151st Station Hospital when he was stationed in Oran soon after the city's capture by the Allies in late 1942 during Operation Torch. Hugely busy amid the hubbub of the Allies building up for the invasion of Italy this diary also offers a rarely seen intimacy in the personal observations and comments littered among the medical details of admissions emergencies procedures and death. Here is a wonderful example: "Busy with 35 admissions at 5 PM. Many of whom are British and most of whom are wounded from Tunis. Intestinal fortitude of the British is wonderful! Some who have lost arms or legs or one of each say 'Am feeling fine nothing wrong with me!' - and all so cheerfully. Everyone pitched in wholeheartedly to help convalescents helping to feed helpless ones." Writing daily sometimes a line and more often longer entries he is a devoted husband and family man writing his wife 'Boo' sending her presents and for the kids too. Major Page is a seems a super fellow. Here are some more snippets: "A Capt. Richard Polk of Army Air Force a patient with laryngitis - learned he played football for West Point and played in the Army-Harvard game at Boston which Boo & I saw. Finally have panes of glass in our room's windows and now it is almost livable with heat turned on. Am working on Primary A Typical Pneumonia cases - hope to correlate about a 100 or more of them and see what we can learn." "Rained all day. Moved 100 pts. patients to crowded ill spaced tents in muddy slit trenched field behind the hospital. Med. Rounds quite a job…" About to travel: "Chaplain Hook and I first sat in Lt. King's plane….Capt. Polk showed up and we changed to Capt. Polk's plane. Lt. King crashed an hour later and two nurse killed…. while up Capt. Polk let me run the plane for 20 minutes." He is very busy doctoring and administrating and traveling to clinics for service personnel and civilians. He documents important war news letters he's written people he sees medical procedures movies he sees places he visits gifts he receives and gifts he buys for family and friends his own personal observances etc. It's really an amazing account from a well written erudite observer. Here is a final snippet near the end when he returns to America: "The U.S. looks good. I wonder what it holds for me What will the future be like and where will I fit into the picture How will it feel to be back at home with wife and children Won't they be surprised to see me Could hardly sleep tonight."
