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!

Belle, Arthur, Donald, and Grace up all day and Aunt Mary up too. Rained all night so Grace and Belle stayed all night. Arthur and Donald went home with Earl. We could not be alone only about an hour but we will make up for lost time some day.

Winnie, Glen, Earl, and I had planned to have a picnic in Chilt's woods but it rained so they all came up here to spend the day. Chester and Arthur P. came up in a.m. Aunt Mary, Mable, Uncle Theo, Arthur, Belle, and Grace up in p.m. Ate ice cream, cherries, and us young folks went down to R.R. track to pick strawberries. Came home thru the "devil's lane" and got some pretty grass. Us 4 drove downtown in Earl's new buggy to the Baccaulearaut sermon at Methodist church. Got home at 9:45.
