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!

We all went downtown to "Homecoming" and took our dinner to the park. Saw Walton and he hung around us all p.m. "Darned fool." We stung him good after supper. Walter H. was with us all during the fireworks and helped us hitch up our horse. "Rubber." Went to the ball game in p.m. St. Charles - 2 and Corunna - 14. Ice cream, candy, and merry-go-round. Ha! Ha! Got home at 10:30.
