Here are some other neighbors that Grace mentions in her diary:
The Harmons:
The 1910 census shows them living not too far away. George and Ella Harmon, and 4 children. They are farmers.
George and Carrie Ackerson, who gave the well-attended sugar social on April 16.
Mr and Mrs Robert and Annie Fields. Annie is likely the "Mrs Rob Fields" who visits Grace on Nov 3.
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!

Rec'd W.M.'s letter. Grandma and I drove downtown in p.m. I went to see the dressmaker, up to Grandma's house and to Mrs Mills. Got home at 5 o'clock. A date with Earl Derham. Ha! Ha! At 6:30 I walked over to Dolly Long's and in evening Cranes and us girls went to Geo. Ackerson's to a warm sugar social. An awful crowd and all had a good time. I helped Ernest Larner work a button-hole and he took me to supper. I expected Bessie was coming home with me to stay all night but Ward Martin brought me home with his horse and buggy. "The next house is Roses." Ha! Ha! Got home at 1:30. Dandy night.
