We started to get milk from Hawkins. We went downtown in p.m. and got Winifred. Went to ball game between C- and some niggers. 8 to 6 in our favor. Rained a little. Got home 7:30.

Mama and I went down to Hawkins a little while in the p.m. Mrs Gilbert was over while we were gone so she visited with Grandma.

Mama and papa went downtown in afternoon. Geo. Brands and wife up in the evening. Dandy night.
The Brands farm was nearby to the Rose farm, just north of the Shiawassee River on the other side of the Hawkins property. It appears from Grace's diary entries that the adults were friendly with each other, but she didn't seem to have anything to do with their son, Ivan.
The 1910 census lists George Brands as head of household, age 51. His wife is Abbie Brands. They have been married for 22 years and Abbie reports having only one child, Ivan, age 21. George's mother, Elvira, lives with them as well. She is age 79 and widowed.
