1917 - 1918 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A PERSONABLE BUT PERHAPS UNSUITED STUDENT AT A STRICT CATHOLIC SCHOOL
ST. JOSEPH MINNESOTA. Good. 1917. On offer is an exceptional very unique original diary handwritten by Grace E. Jeffers a young student attending St. Benedicts College in St. Joseph Minnesota during the years 1917 through 1918. There are 160 pages of long detailed handwritten entries with this diary numerous pieces of scrap also pasted to the pages; items like play programs letters notes handmade souvenirs newspaper articles her report card holiday tags dance programs and more. She mentions things like All Soul's Day All Soul's Requiem Mass Confession High Mass her Sacred Heart badge retreats a trip to the Monastery trips into the near by town of St. Cloud her school mates and teachers and more. Here are some snippets: 1917 "October 3rd No one here today. Diary you get read today. I couldn't help it though. So!! Got a lesson this p.m. instead of 1:50. You see Prof. was here today. Nothing doin with English IV & VII. Gee I'm mad. Little good it does tho! Are you practicing Wagner's March!! Oh! Yes! I should unite to not but I'm almost too sleepy to be sensible so guess I had better go where I belong and get a snooze." "October 7th 1 year ago today!!!! Uncle John was here. Oh! Uncle's G.K. Wonder if we'll have an anniversary celebration. Wish I could see Roman today. Just for a talk. He's right there. Doings at Pearl Lake today. Them! Here it is 5:10 and still lonesome. Why! Coz nothings been here to kill it. But there was some excitement anyway. Delphine and Anne were here. Got called out of chapel and guess I got fussed so I said blame me! Say but I had a silly streak today. Played the violin Ele said almost 3 hrs but I know better. Oh! How sentimental. We had the worst ever tonight." "October 12th Bum lesson this a.m. Felt so darn funny kind of tipsy. Now I know why. Had another fit didn't last long but gee I'm shaky. Lost a whole p.m. No water again today. Dizzy too. Irma made me go to bed early and so had a long sleep." "November 15th All soul's requiem mass. Over to Gertkin's. Saw Ceil's dress material. Practiced after school. Prof here. Ele's got it bad. Hung on the door until saw and had a talk. Got a few smacks tonight wow. Mary F. Ruth and Arnella. What's up. Elizabeth got it bad on Ele. Whew! Developments. Erna's sick. Short history lesson. Grace on bum." "November 26th This entry features a drawing of the girl laying in a bed Nothing special today
Just ought to have seen Ele go to bed last night. Bot the bath robe. I can't draw as it was under the sheets but even at that she got cold. Guess I shall have to get a little kerosene stove and set it under her bed. Maybe she'll keep warm then" The next quote is from a note pasted to one of the pages: "Grace Mum's the word about Ruff's and your talk about you know. Please do not mention it. Thank you ever so much Grace. I surely appreciate it. See me tomorrow morn. E. B." "December 31st All excited over the dance. Father Lemice says better not go. Hawke's says nothing so what's a fellow going to do. Bishop here. Everything ok about parish deal. Can go where we want to go Hurrah. Con says Father Hawke told him to go and have a good time. So he want me to go. Tracy and Leah just coaxed me but nix. So called Father Lemice and asked him about it. "Better stay home and go to bed" so of course I wouldn't dance then. Mother and I went to look on but I didn't even dance the polka. Splitz came and asked me but I couldn't go. A temptation well I guess. But I did not give in. All the Catholics there would have been hard to count. Decorated swell here's a program. The program is pasted to the page I had lots of fun looking on. To bed late any how." 1918 "January 14th E. got a letter from Norbert and I got one from Jo. Peachy too. Our letters must have crossed on the way. Reports this a.m. Pretty good too. Over town for E's pictures but they're not here yet. Wonder what became of them! Confession. Poor Mary Welsh! She'd better spruce up for E's latest in a case on Duke. Davy expelled today. G. said she was quite fond of smoking. Took it very cheerily." "January 20th Daddy Henry gave us a dandy sermon this a.m. about proper wedding ceremonies. We must carry a prayer book and not dance up to the altar lest we have to dance to a divorce court some time. Ghee she felt foxy today all kinds of stunts up after mass. Chicken dinner or something. St. Cloud High kids here
.Nuns gone." "February 16th During retreat dreamed that dad went to confession to Father Culler at the Pres. Cath. Only hope that dreams would come true
.Father Henry told me yesterday that my time to choose has not arrived. My first duty is to my parents and brothers and sisters. Letter from Marie. Afraid to talk. Long sleep tomorrow but Ele got a penance of communion so we shall get up. She is rather worried so safety first. Nun went to confession stumbled going in. "I knew you were drunk before you got in." "March 6th All excited. May stay overnight. Sr. Adelinda going along. Stations at 11:00. Mrs. Lossbrock on train. Ceil and Agatha to depot with us. Arrived safely. Father Hugo on bus. Chatted naturally. Roads rough. Al came right away. Not spiffed up. The parlor we got must have been recently occupied by a younger one from the affair hanging on the coat rack. Father Norbert and Severin in later Dandy!! To music halls then first in F.N's shop. Some place believe me. Heard his phonograph. Pretty good too. He's a wonder
.escorted to lodging quarters. To bed late. Cold in my room almost froze. Wind howled around the corner and I didn't wake up at 4 to hear the Monastery bells. Wind the other way I guess. I'm mad. Woke me about 5:15 to Mass at 6:00 by P. Norbert
" "May 25th Sis went to St. Cloud. We slept long. Sis here awhile. Ele cleaned house. I ready for St. Cloud. Got paper from Golden Rule. She went to the doc a tumor I guess. Oh! I am surely in love with her. I never in all my life experienced such a sensation and such an extensive feeling for any one before. It is so strong tonight that I simply don't know what to do with myself. Oh! That I could stay with her for I know she can't come with me

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.

GRACE M GRIFFIN
1892 - 1894 ORIGINAL PAIR OF FULLY WRITTEN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY THE DEPUTY POSTMISTRESS OF THE OSGOOD INDIANA WHO DETAILS THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A LATE 19TH CENTURY MID STATE INDIANA FAMILY
OWEN OSGOOD INDIANA. Fair. 1892. On offer is a small group of two 2 interesting November 1892 through May 1894 manuscript diaries handwritten by Grace M. Griffin of Owen Indiana. Grace is as many young women of the time occupied with friends and family and we read a more than casual interest by the writer in sewing and quilt making with frequent entries about she and her mother making aprons dresses clothes for her sister's dolls a doll hat for a family friend's little girl . She also mentions many many names of friends and visitors and she leads a very active life giving remarkable detail of a young woman's life in the late 19th Century. We note with fascination that Grace became the deputy postmaster her father being the Postmaster for the Osgood Post Office in 1893. She was paid $300 a year.

The diary is replete with references to daily life and community happenings. ". Henry Drake and Mr. Kinney helped pa butcher today". Jan 16. ". Been to work all day at the meat and lard." Jan 19. ". Worked nearly all the A.M. Went down to Mrs. Kinney's in the afternoon and carried home the sausage cutter and a piece of spare rib". Jan 28. "Not a very pleasant day.

There is also a damaged cover of a poetry book titled Harvest of Thorns. Another interesting insert of a pamphlet titled How To Become A Member Of The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Accompanying it is a handwritten note dated June 14 1927 twenty five years after this diary was written in which Grace asks for application forms. Of note is that it is signed Grace Messina. Grace married in May 1918. There are a great many references to local people and this would be an excellent reference point for someone doing research on local families in Jefferson County NY. It is an excellent reference for gender studies as it shows clearly the day-to-day lifestyle and expectations on a young woman at the turn of the century in rural America. A social historian would find the diary a treasure trove of details among the web of relationships in this small community.
