***************************************************
Transcriber's note: From the 1907 Corunna Directory, it appears that the Serr family runs 2 saloons at 2 different addresses. However, since Joe Serr has passed away earlier this month, and his saloon is run from his residence, perhaps only Adam Serr's saloon is open today.

Mr. Kline could possibly be Mr. J. Sidney Kline who lives in the area, assisting his father, Colonel Philip Kline. I'm guessing the Rose family would have done business with the son, Mr. Kline, as opposed to the elder Colonel Kline.

*************************************************************************
Transcriber's note:
I think "Myrtle" is Grace's grandmother's sister, Mrs Myrtle Crandall Hulick, widow of Joseph Hulick. Myrtle had lived in Corunna at one time, but in 1908 would have been living in either Pennsylvania or Minnesota, as she appeared to be boarding with either her son-in-law or other family members. She had lost her husband around 1891, and her only child Winifred around 1905. "Myrtle" is referenced 3 times in Grace's 1908 diary, always because of letters written or received.
Here is a photo that is said to be of Myrtle Crandall Hulick with Martha Durham, Grace's daughter. We're looking into the future now...this must be 1912 or 1913. This tells me that Grace and Myrtle were somewhat close.

**Transcriber's note: There is only one Mr and Mrs Beemer in the 1907 Corunna directory. I think it's interesting that George Beemer's occupation is not listed. He owned Beemer's department store in Corunna. Is it assumed that everyone knows this already? There also is only one Mrs Fairbanks listed.
