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!

W.C., Hattie, and I went over to Owosso in a.m. to see a wild west show parade but they had not come yet so we came back. I went to Grandma's for dinner and afterwards to the drugstore for a little while. In evening Earl and I intended to go to the show but it was so tough that Hattie, Winnie, Earl, and I took in the theatoriums. W.C. lost her pocketbook but we found it again. Rained awful hard so we got home quite early. Earl and Winnie felt foolish coming home.
