This great-grandmother was Lucy Vickers, wife of Henry E. Vickers; they lived in the Oenaville/Seaton area from about 1876 until the late 1920s. The books cover a period from 1922 until her death in 1931; I haven't had time to read many of the entries, but have noticed that she notes things like which farmer had the first bale of cotton for the area, going into Temple to Cheeves' to "do some trading," etc. Many of the entries deal with the weather, and most are family-oriented, but there are some mentions of neighbors, deaths and funerals, etc. As I come across names that may be of interest to others on this list, I'll be glad to post them if y'all would like.
