Corunna Ward 2 residents in 1910


In Corunna Ward 2:
Arthur J Peacock, age 35, with wife and 9yo daughter
Next door to the Peacocks live the Inglehart family.  Could Mrs Gertrude Inglehart, age 26, be the "Mrs Englehart" that Grace visits on July 6?
Mable (spelled Mabel) E Wallace, age 24, living with her parents and siblings
Living next door to the Wallaces are the Jackson family, with daughter Grace E Jackson, age 25.  Could she be one of our Grace's friends?
John H and Eva D Dudeck, ages 24 and 22.  They have been married for 3 years.
Etta Burger, age 33, single, living with her parents.


Sunday, October 4, 1908

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.

Lantz's mill and barn burned the night.  Wanted to go down to Mable Wallace's in evening but couldn't because Mama wasn't as well.  Papa went down to see the Dr after supper.

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.

***********************************************************************
Transcriber's notes:
"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.

Aunt Louise's family over all day.  In afternoon I went downtown.  Went to P.O. and met Altea Armstrong.  Up to Belle's all night.  Went to Club at Mable Wallace's and we dressed as little girls.  I got 1st prize for putting puzzle together first.  Am. Beauty rose.  Dudecks over in evening but I wasn't here.  "Teddie bears and dolls."

****************************************************
Transcriber's notes:
"Aunt Louise" is Grace's mother's sister, Louise Rigoulot.  She married Lewis Pardonnet in 1897 when she was 18 years old.  They had 4 children: Minnie, Samuel, Clarence, and Eugene.  The Pardonnet family lived relatively close by to Grace's home and visited frequently.

the Dudecks referenced here are possibly John H and Eva D Dudeck, since Grace mentions visiting Eva Dudeck personally on July 6.

Mabel Wallace lives in city of Corunna.  She is 22 years old and in the 1910 census, she is still living in Corunna with her parents and siblings.



Belle is referenced 43 times in Grace's diary, but her identity is a mystery!

Altea Armstrong is another mystery.

Grace refers to her "club" every now and then.  I don't know the details of her club, though it appears it is not the Priscillas club or other women's club that is often referenced in the Corunna Journal.
