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 rode downtown with Chester S. and stayed there for dinner then I went down to see Winnie. She and I went to the drugstore for a sundae. Earl's St. Charles girl was down to see him but he did not pay much attention to her. "Earl, are you through with Grace now?" "Yes, for now." Ha! Ha! Walked home towards evening.
