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!
Tuesday, August 11, 1908
Walter and Earl came up after dinner with a double carriage and we drove to Bancroft to the Mason vs Pythian ball game. 15 to 9 in the K.P.'s favor. Great game. "The girl on the ladder." "I'm Mr. Brown." Ha! Ha! We rode on the back seat coming home. Came nearly getting lost. Took the team back to Owosso and took the car as far as Derhams where we got the rig and Martha and I came home alone so that we could keep the horse. Rained like sixty on the way to Owosso and home. Got here at 11:30.
