Phoebe's diary has been a fascinating glimpse into the life of an 1850's young lady and her family. It gives me an idea of how my own family (who had 6 daughters) may have lived at the time. I myself live in "Charlotte" (now called Newfane), and I can imagine Phoebe and "the boys" coming into town for meetings, visits, and trading. I'm looking forward to the other diaries.
