********************************************************
Transcriber's notes:
Felicia Van Liew was in the Corunna High School graduating class of 1906, but I have not been able to find a record of her marriage.
I have seen her name spelled Felicie, Felicia, Felice, and the unusual spelling shown November 26 (unless that is a reference to someone else).
The family is referenced in the Corunna Journal 23 January 1908 when Felicia's father passed away. The newspaper reports that they are living in Bennington, about 9 miles south of Corunna.

Sunday, November 8, 1908
Alone all day but Buckles folks and Earl up in evening. Earl and I had sort of a scrap over Wallie when there was no reason for it at all.
The only other time Wallie has been mentioned in Grace's 1908 diary is on February 10, when she mentions receiving a letter from him. So, Wallie must not live in the Corunna area, and is likely to be around Grace's age...enough that he is considered a threat to Earl...
