Joyce's Search Tip - December 2010 Do You Know that you can search just the 355 pages of our Diaries and Letters on this site  by using the Diaries button in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page? But diaries and letters are wonderful sources to understand the culture of time and place. Read them and enjoy them slowly.

This is my first attempt at transcribing an old diary. I will try to identify some of the family members and friends named in the diary, and I would value the help of anyone who can further identify them. To the best of my ability I will reproduce the spelling and style of the original. Very little punctuation is present in the diary, but I have tried to reproduce the spacing of the original that indicates natural breaks in the thought.

Emma FIELD Sherman spent most of her life on Armenia Mountain. When I was five years old in 1945, I spent a few days staying in what had been her home just northwest of the intersection of Fallbrook Road and Mountain Road (also called Covert corners or Sherman's corners) in Covert, Armenia Township. Her house was destroyed by fire, I believe, not too long after 1945. The house on the northeast corner of the same crossroads belonged for many years to Emma's son Milton SHERMAN and daughter-in-law Libbie ROSS Sherman. That house still stands (September, 2005) and is now a hunting lodge known as Four Corners Camp.

At the time of this diary Emma was in her mid-fifties and all but the youngest of her eight living children were grown and had left home. Her youngest child, Lida, age 19, was still at home and attending school, possibly the Normal School at Mansfield. Emma was living in or near Mansfield and as the diary shows was working nearly daily at the Normal School. I can only assume that Emma's husband, Simeon L.SHERMAN was still living at the family home on Armenia; it is not clarified in the diary, but other documents show that he was there in 1900 and also in 1907.
