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!

Mama and Papa went over to Uncle Charlie's and she stayed. Glen M. came up in p.m. and we ate watermelon and had a circus. Earl came about 8:30 and brought 2 qts ice cream. Had a dandy time but Winifred lost her ring.

Bessie C. and I drove downtown in p.m. and I got my hat. Down to the Park we met Glen M. and he walked uptown with us. Got home at 6 o'clock and she stayed to supper, then I went apiece with her. Saw Sum's new puppy.

Went downtown about 8 o'clock a.m. Saw Glen M. Mr Woodhams caled in p.m. Also Leah Eveleth. Emma and Libbie came up and Chilt told our fortunes with tea-grounds. Great! I walked a piece with them when they went home.

Sewed all day. My folks went to Den Thompson's funeral in afternoon. Chilt up in evening. Glen M. called me up over the phone.

Transcriber's note:
I think that Glen M. may be Glen Montfort. He is 18 years old in 1908, and his sister, Mrs Hattie Montfort Forster, is friends with Grace. Grace happens to attend Hattie's birthday party tomorrow, which could be a reason for Glen Montfort to call her tonight.
