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!

Baked bread, 2 cakes, made ice cream and everything else in a.m. Walter Hatch drove up before we had even combed our hair. Earl rowed up. We 4 went down to Chilt's woods and took our suppers. "Martha's mouth." "Slams." "I've got an idea." Ha! Ha! Earl and I rowed downtown and the others drove. Came home around by Hope's. Earl and Martha kept us awake alright.
