**Transcriber's note: There is only one Mr and Mrs Beemer in the 1907 Corunna directory. I think it's interesting that George Beemer's occupation is not listed. He owned Beemer's department store in Corunna. Is it assumed that everyone knows this already? There also is only one Mrs Fairbanks listed.
Grace Rose lived from 1887 to 1981. She was born in Michigan and lived there most of her life. This is a transcription of her diary written in 1908, the year she turned 21. 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!

I went over to Harmon's in afternoon to get some eggs and while there I met Mr and Mrs Beemer and Mrs Fairbanks. Rode home with Papa who had been downtown. Had a dandy visit with Billy in evening. Rec'd W.H.'s letter.
