The following people can be found in the 1910 Corunna census:
In Corunna Ward 1:
Burr Eveleth, age 33.
Daniel Muzzy, age 64. Grace also references a "Mr. Muzzy" as opposed to "Dan Muzzy". I'm not sure if she means the same person.
Frank Peacock, age 62.
Winnie Chapin, age 22. Winnie's case is unusual, where she is a single girl listed as a "roomer". In the 1920 census she continues to be listed as a "boarder". By 1930 she has married and is now Winnie Wallace. Her parents were still living, and living in Michigan, in 1910, so it is curious as to why she wasn't living "at home". In 1910 she is working as a deputy clerk at the post office.
Next door is another boarder, Romaine Bramwell, age 22. She is likely our "other" Romaine, who is not Romaine Buckle and has a different birthday from Romaine Buckle. Romaine Bramwell is working as a teacher in 1910. In the 1900 census, Romaine Bramwell is living with her widowed mother in Corunna. Her birth month is listed as February, making it more likely that she is the Romaine whose birthday Grace lists as February 12. This also could explain why she would leave home and start work when others her age were not.
Both Winnie and Romaine were in the Corunna High School graduating class of 1906, along with Earl and Ray Derham.

Aunt Mary, Mable, Herbert, and Uncle Theo over in p.m. Also Winnie C., Mable W., Romaine B., and Hattie F. came along the R.R. and came up here. We went over to Chilt's to see Salem, the Syrian boy. Roy Derham called up and said "Earl had gone to see his brother in Ann Arbor." Ha! Ha! Did not get the milk. Awful nice day and warm.

Milbourn and Mr Frye over in the afternoon. Walked downtown and stopped to see W.C. Stayed at Belle's all night and went to Maccabee Installation and dance. "Good times come to those who wait." Ha! Ha! Jennie Chaffee, Pearl Wren, W.C., Mable Wallace, and I. Seal M. met me on way from taking Bertha home so took me home. "I'll bet she will be mad." Oh, my.
"Seal M." is likely to be Seal Morse, who is referenced one other time in Grace's diary, also at a dance.
"W.C." is likely to be Winnie Chapin.
"Milbourn" could be Melbourne Rose, Grace's cousin.

My folks went over to Buckles and Grandma spent the day at Brands. Winnie and I baked chicken and had a dandy dinner. Chilt came over and told our fortunes. Took Winnie back home about 6 o'clock. Dandy day.
The Buckle family lives about a mile down the road, about 6 properties east of the Rose farm. Grace spells their name at least once as "Buckel", but primarily uses the "Buckle" spelling.
In 1908, the head of household was Fred E. Buckle, born July 1865, according to census records. He died on December 31, 1909.
His wife is Agnes "Aggie" Buckle (nee Serr). She was born May 1868. In census records she consistently reports having 2 daughters, and no other children living or deceased.
The elder daughter is sometimes named "Z Romaine" and sometimes "Romaine Z" in census records. She is 14 years old in 1908 when Grace wrote her diary. Therefore it most likely that when Grace refers to "Romaine B" she is more than likely referring to Romaine Bramwell, who is closer to Grace's age. Romaine Buckle was born 10 Apr 1894 and died 20 Jul 1978 per the Michigan death index and Social Security records. She married William Walter Knott around 1927, per 1930 census records.
The younger Buckle daughter is named Mildred. She is not referenced in Grace's diary, so must have been too young in age for Grace to take much notice.

Mama and I drove downtown after Winnie Chapin after supper. Rather cold.
In the 1910 census, Winnie Chapin, age 22 (in 1910) is living in Corunna Ward 1. Winnie's case is unusual, where she is a single girl listed as a "roomer". In the 1920 census she continues to be listed as a "boarder". By 1930 she has married and is now Winnie Wallace. Her parents were still living, and living in Michigan, in 1910, so it is curious as to why she wasn't living "at home". In 1910 she is working as a deputy clerk at the post office.

Went to Owosso with Chilt to get flowers. Stopped at Geo. Bachelor's and on way home to see Winnie. Got home at 5 o'clock. Dandy day and warm.
*******************************************************************
Transcriber's notes:
Owosso is an estimated 4 miles from Grace's home.
"Winnie" is not Winifred Humphrey, who Grace always refers to as either "Winifred" or "W.H." This Winnie is more likely to be her friend Winnie Chapin, though it is a common name in Corunna area in 1908.
I couldn't find Geo Bachelor in the city directory or census records.
