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!

Ironed all a.m. Papa and I went downtown in p.m. Earl and I went to ball game between Corunna and Laingsburg. We won 11-6. Great! I stayed at Belle's to supper and in evening came out home with Earl. Cook called but I was "busy". Ha! Ha!
