‎Anna L Worthington‎

‎1882 European Travel Diary of an Upper Class Kentucky Woman Visiting England France Germany and Italy in the Lap of Luxury for Four Months‎

‎Europe England France Germany Italy United States. Good with no dust jacket. 1882. Softcover. On offer is a fine private European travel journal kept by a rich young Kentucky woman who traveled extensively. The journal belonged to Anna L. Worthington. She was born in 1864 in Cincinnati Ohio and lived in Covington Kentucky. Her father was Henry Worthington who was known as one of the foremost businessmen in Covington amassing a large fortune in the tobacco industry. In 1886 Anna married in George Gatewood Hamilton 1861-1928 and had one daughter Anna Roberta Hamilton 1888-1939. She passed away in 1895 at the young age of 30. George was also a successful businessman and land owner. He went on to remarry Allie Chilton after Anna’s death. The journal recounts a four-month trip she took throughout Europe when she was 18 years old. She travelled as part of a small group. The trip was extensive which reflected the very wealthy background she came from. Her travels included England France Germany and Italy and focused on historical locations and places known for their art and architecture. Her excerpts are long and newsy written in a bouncy cursive hand. She kept her journal from May 1 through August 27 1882. Some brief excerpts follow: “Went to Versailles with Madame went on the Chemin de fer and came back on the tramway. We went immediately to the Castle de Versailles which was built by Louis 14th for Mlle de la Valliere. He once heard her say to a courtier that the only one she loved was the King of the Sun…” May 19. “Left Pisa about 11: 40 for Rome. Very comfortable until we got to Chivioveccia sic. When we had to put up our windows because we were on the Campagna…” June 6. “Started for Frankfort at eleven arrived at one. Went to see.the church where the emperors were crowned.Went to the Burying ground where Goethe’s mother is buried. Anna D. Will & I went to the stores…” July 22. “Went to the Crystal Palace wanted to go to see Billy Taylor but we were “taken in’ & only saw a man cut a woman to pieces and a few other things equally ridiculous…” August 4. This diary provides terrific insight into the the state of both travel and major European cities in the late 19th century. For a social historian this journal is a silent testament to the social structures in late 19th century America and how some women were able to enjoy a life experience much different than that experienced by the majority of women in the country. As such it would also be a useful addition to any gender studies library. The journal is a soft-covered notebook containing 132 lined pages. The cover is leather and shows wear along the spine and on the corners. The pages are in good condition and the handwriting is quite legible. It is approximately 55% complete. Overall Good. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 132 pages; Signed by Author . paperback‎

‎William Newton Keesy‎

‎1928-1929 Manuscript Diaries of a Willard Ohio Farmer Who Becomes a Widow but Must Continues to Thrive While Enduring Further Tragedy‎

‎Willard Ohio. Good with no dust jacket. Softcover. On offer are two diaries covering two years in the life of a farmer in Willard Ohio named William Newton Keesy 1867-1942. William married Carrie Niekirk 1867-1928 in 1892 and they had two children Parke and Wilma. He farmed near the small Ohio town of Willard. He also served as commissioner in Huron. Following the death of his wife William moved in with his daughter Wilma and her family. Sadly the 1940 census completed two years before his death shows him living in a boarding house. When he kept these diaries at age 61-62 William Kessy lived an ordinary life looking after his wife who was very ill and would die before the end of 1928 and participating regularly in community organizations. Again from context it appears that in addition to farming he worked servicing pumps at gas stations and service weigh scales. His entries are succinct and convey a sense of the rhythm of life in small-town Ohio at that time. The following excerpts will give a flavour of these two diaries. The diaries also contain a fair amount of ephemera such as medical bills invoices etc. “R and cloudy. I went to Willard and tested Standard Oil Co Bulk and Service Station” Feb 15 1928. “I made a thing to put coal oil barrel on and in P. M. Went over to see Herbert he is sick has been since Monday. Wilma came and her and Carrie went to W. M. A. At Dawson. I went down to in eve a little while” Apr 6 1928. “Hung screen door and painted in A. M. In P. M. Hoed potatoes. All kids were here in eve had ice cream. We set out tomato and cabbage plants. I went down to Clarks and got them” July 4 1928. By late summer Carrie was beginning to have health problems and there are a number of references to doctor appointments a receipt from the Cleveland Clinic and a detailed list that William kept of Carrie’s medical bills at the back of the diary. Through the autumn Carrie’s health continued to fail but life continued for William and his adult children. Some excerpts: “I went to Willard then to cemetery and over to Charley’s then home then got a message from Mabel and went to Willard and in eve to Willard to a Republican meeting. Frances Riddle went with me. Carrie and Mary went over to Wilma’s for dinner” Oct 8 1928. “Got things ready to go to Columbus in the morning to Sealer Convention. In PM I went to Delphi and Willard. Eva came out first before dinner and is going to stay until I get home from Columbus” Dec 3 1928. “At home all day. Carrie has been bad. Doctor was out in eve. Bob and Wilma was out in eve” Dec 12 1928. “Fair. Carried died this evening at 7 o’clock. Parke and I cut up beef and Dora put it down” Dec 28 1928. His family troubles were not over but continue in his 1929 diary. On Jan 2 1929 he notes that his 10 month old granddaughter is sick. She had contracted measles and a bronchial infection and did not recover: “Stayed at Bob last night. Merle died at 5: 20 this morning” Jan 30 1929. “Little Merle Aileen was buried today aside of Carrie. Now she has her. Dear lord keep me so I can go to them” Feb 1 1929. Despite the tragedy of 1928 and 1929 William perseveres. He spends a lot of time with Wilma and her husband Bob and Parke. He also continues with his daily tasks as was necessary at the time. Some excerpts: “Frank and I cleaned the chicken coop then I went to Attica and brought Eva and Minnie out and Dora and Wilma came over and they divided up Carrie’s wearing apparel and then took them home” Feb 18 1929. “I went to Norwalk by way of Younges and home to Willard and got car greased and shaved and hair cut and got oil changed and car greased. Bob and I got all of my things last evening” May 3 1929. “At election then out to Park’s and to Grange in eve” Nov 5 1929. “Got ready for Christmas. Parks were down in eve. I got 2 pairs of socks and a tie from Parkes and a desk light from Bob and Wilma” Dec 24 1929. For a social historian these diaries provide a real look at one aspect of life in small town America in the early part of the 20th Century. He keeps detailed cash account listings at the back of both diaries and the ephemera helps shed light on economic information from the time. There are numerous references to family friends and neighbours for this to be a good resource for genealogists. The 1928 diary measures 5.5x3.4 inches is 183 pages and 100% complete. Overall Good. The 1929 diary measures 6x3.4 inches is 183 pages and 100% complete. Overall Good. William’s handwriting is particularly legible for a male diarist. ; Manuscripts; 24mo 5" - 6" tall; 183 pages; Signed by Author . paperback‎
