Hi All, I have added still another diary from my collection to the site. This is the 1876 diary of Mary J. WILSON "Squires" niece of the Daniel BURTON whose 1873 diary I uploaded earlier in the week. In fact, in this diary Mary both visits her Uncle Daniel and a few days later attends his funeral after his death being hit by one of the trains he so frequently used for travel. My collection of area diaries is extensive enough that if you get into them it is like a soap opera, or serial. You just have to read the next one to se how everybody is doing. In all of the diaries, people not only record their work activities, but also the visits form neighbors far and near and I often have the experience of suddenly finding one of my ancestors wandering in for a visit and then leaving. It is almost like a personal encounter. The Diary Collection opens from Box 31 B of the Online Research Library of <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~srgp/jmtindex.htm">Tri-Counties Genealogy & History Sites of Joyce M.
