She lived in Corunna, Michigan at the time. In just a few years, she would be married to Earl Derham. Read on for the adventures of a single girl in the early 20th century!

Rode downtown on a load of wood in p.m. Went and got my skirt and new rubbers. Rained and snowed in evening but I went to dancing school just the same. Rex was up to the Assembly. Had a real nice talk and dance with him. Stayed at Belle's all night.
