Chilt came over told our fortunes in p.m. Took Pearl downtown in p.m. Talked with Ward at noon. Saw Hope.

I went downtown in p.m. with the washing and Pearl Wren came home with me to stay all night. Rained at night. Talked with Bill in evening.

Went downtown in afternoon. Belle, Gracie, M.W., Grace W., Mrs Wren, and myself went to Foresters party in evening in the Opera House. Had a dandy time and got home at 2:30. "Carnations." Libbie and Archie.

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.

Sewed. Mr and Mrs Alta Wren family and Mrs Floyd Wren over in evening. Had dandy time. The last of the sleighing.
Mrs Floyd Wren is a widow, Pearl (nee Spaulding) Wren. In all later entries in Grace's diary, Pearl is referred to as Pearl Wren. The 1910 census shows the Alta Wren family (wife Minnie, children Harley and Teresa) living in Caledonia. I was unable to locate Pearl Wren in 1910. The Family History Library has images of Michigan marriage records from 1903 showing that Pearl Spaulding married Floyd Wren on July 2 of that year. Floyd Wren's occupation is listed as "druggist". Floyd died at age 30, 3 years later on 7 June 1906. The Corunna Journal from 1906 is missing, so I'm not sure of his cause of his death. I did find his death certificate but could not read the doctor's handwriting. He died in a hospital and had been attended by a doctor for a few days.
So, in 1908 when Grace wrote this diary, Pearl Spaulding Wren was a widow and was around 28 years old.
