| 1868-1911 Rosina Smith of Sullivan Township |

It is a rare and wonderful privilege to transcribe these diaries of my neighbors who were here in the community where I now live so long before me. Although I never knew the people whose lives they record personally, I have studied their lives and their interconnected relationships for many years. There is a linked chain of familiarity. My grandparents, born in the 1890s, knew them or knew people who knew them. The grandchildren of the young people in Rosina’s 1868 diary were the old people of my childhood.
They are the fabric of the farming community that existed here in Sullivan Township in the nineteenth century. Some of these people are my ancestors, and some are their neighbors. I can do what few others could in this time so far distant from their own – that is to recognize most of them by their first name or even their nickname when they walk across these pages. I can visualize their houses, so often now just grass grown stone foundations or run down remains of buildings. In some cases I have been able to collect photos of the houses as they once were from living descendants both locally and throughout the country. I can imagine them walking into houses that remain in the neighborhood. I need only look out the window or drive around the corner or over the hill to be exactly where they lived. When I am transcribing the diaries I am there with them in my mind. Sometimes they even walk right into my own house, built in 1858 by the older brother & sister-in-law of Rosina’s husband, where I now sit transcribing the movements of their daily lives.
Historians operate in a time warp, but still it takes my breath away when I am working along and one of my own great-great grand parents stops in to visit on the page. And even more I am stunned when the diarist walks right into this very house, as has happened, and sits down in the room where I now sit pounding away on this laptop. So many years intervene to make us invisible to each other though we inhabit the same space. Time is a strange dimension. It seems we should be able to just reach through it and it is so disappointing that we can not. How wonderful it would be if we could truly lift the veil of time and have a good chat face to face and voice to voice. They could answer so many questions if only we could ask. Their written words in diaries and letters are their only voice now, and we must listen closely to the words they left behind.
The diarists remind me in the fullness of their own lives and the activities that they must fulfill to keep themselves going, that I too will someday be just words on a page. Perhaps you will know me only by the words I am writing now, and when you read this my name may already be inscribed along with theirs in the cemetery up the road. It pleases me so much to have the opportunity to take their words out of the attics where they have spent more than a century and pass them and the community they lived in on to you so that you can know them and it as I do. Maybe even fifty years from now another person not yet born will sit in this same room and read these words that have passed from the diarists of the past to readers of the future through me. It would be the thought or time equivalent of the mirror image of the mirror image that goes on infinitely.
Every historian fantasizes about what it would be like to go back in time and visit the people we study. These diaries are our vehicle for doing that.
We tend to think that because we are living and they are not, that our lives have more importance. As historians we come to understand our equality in the total span of time. I can look out my window on the bleakest, gloomiest day and be grateful to be alive because these diaries make me ever conscious that our lives, too, are brief. The hardships of their lives make me appreciate the luxuries and comforts that we enjoy. And conversely, when I watch the news and see people in parts of our own nation's crowded cities enduring gang violence and drive by shootings and the horrors of overcrowding and polluted air, I think these simple, hard working country people, with their self sufficient life styles and extended family and community ties, had better lives indeed. If I had to choose between those two options, I know where and when I would want to live.
Seeing these people walk through the pages of these diaries in the course of their daily business gives them so much more life and personality than we can see on the sterile pages of census or tax records. These diaries are the ideal conduit by which I can present the community and neighborhood genealogies of Sullivan Township. I have always approached genealogy at the community level rather than the family or name line level. This is the perfect opportunity to present it in that way and to showcase the many photos I have collected since I began Sullivan-Rutland Genealogy Project in 1992. A presentation with this level of annotation is extremely labor intensive for me. But I want you to know these people and understand their interconnectedness in the same way I have come to know them over the years I have studied them. I have lived on the same piece of the planet where they spent their lives, and they are all around me.
On this property there is a little piece of land on the other side of the creek that can only be reached by walking through water or from the land of a neighbor. My grandfather used to tell my father that it was only there to hold the rest of the world together. I think that is terribly profound, and it reflects the way I feel about Sullivan Township and its people. It is an essential part of the whole, and these diaries show us how and where it fits in as time flows past us.
Rosina was first cousin of Emerson Smith whose diaries also are included on this site. Her diaries cover twenty years of her life with gaps along the way. The collection also includes two of her son's and two of her daughter in law. Perhaps more of these diaries are stacked in another attic someplace. We can only hope that someday they will find their way back home to be included with these.
A few prefaratory notes on cultural practices in Rosina’s world:
People worked and lived in extended family and neighborhood groups. In this early time the economy operated on a combination of barter exchange and cash, and the diaries were part of the record keeping. You will see those exchanges of goods and labor on an almost daily basis on these pages. They also acted as bankers to each other with small loans or notes. The stores did the same, and I have many of the local store ledgers to illustrate these transactions here in my Sullivan Township Museum. In fact, in the case of some of the visits to the stores or trades-people recorded in the diaries, I have the ledgers to show the transaction.
Meals were breakfast, dinner, and supper, and that remains the pattern in rural areas to the present day. The road that Rosina and Will lived on was at that time a direct thoroughfare from Elk Run, then called Chandlersburg, to Mainesburg. When Route 6 was built in the 1920s, the road was closed off and abandoned. The double row of trees remains to show where it was as an extension of Ames Hill which still exists. This may account for the large number of people from the direction of Chandlersburg who ate dinner, the noontime meal, with them on their way to or from Mainesburg.
Rosina mentions only the non routine tasks that she, her sister, and her husband, and the hired help perform. She does not mention that the cows are milked daily and all the livestock fed. She does not mention the hours spent daily in meal preparation or baking, all of which were routine. She occasionally mentions churning butter, and she sells quite a bit to neighbors. She occasionally mentions doing the washing, never the ironing. She is more likely to mention the seasonal activities such as planting, harvesting, building, etc. She records regularly who comes and who goes.
When Rosina visited a house in the neighborhood she usually referred to it by the name of the man even though she would have been visiting the woman in the house. This was not just her custom. I see it in diaries even much later than hers. When Rosina visited her sister, Louisa, she said she was going to Eph’s or Ephraim’s, Louisa’s husband. I have even seen an obituary where it was written that a woman died in the house of her husband. Some of this mentality lingers at the dawn of the 21st century when we see adult women who do not have their name listed in the phone book, one of the rites of passage to adulthood, and expect other people to know who their husband is to contact them. Remnants of the femme covert customs, such as the name loss at marriage, although no longer universal, continue to the present time.
In this era before telephones news traveled by word of mouth. Many of the visitors who drop in to Rosina’s house are there on farm or family business or there to purchase goods. Some of the frequent visitors are the young people of the nearby farms who, no doubt, are conveyors of neighborhood news. I can actually see that many people would find the comings and goings in this neighborhood as uneventful and, let's be frank, boring. Having worked with the family histories for the past fifteen years I feel that I know these people far better than I know present day residents here. I find it quite interesting when Jule comes back from Troy with a sewing machine or when Will goes down to Eph’s to get the ladders to paint the new house (1874). Knowing the houses and the roads, I see myself riding along visualizing all that is happening in a fairly accurate context. Most of you who read my transcriptions will have to make up the pictures in your head from scratch. I will include pictures where I can to help you do that.
Most people are mentioned in the diary by first name, nickname or sometimes just initials. I can usually recognize them immediately, but in some cases the name is too common to be sure which person she is talking about. There are several Elizas, several Matildas who might drop in. If I can be sure, I'll say which it is. If not, I have to leave the annotation out. Again, I will establish a link to the biography page the first time a person appears each year. After that I assume you too can recognize the person by name.
One of the readers of these diaries observed that Will & Rosina went to Troy more than Mansfield which surprised her. Mansfield is a closer shopping town than Troy, but when the trip was to Troy, they often took butter to sell. Bradford County was famous for its butter which was shipped to New York City and elsewhere. I think that is the reason for going to Troy rather than Mansfield. Butter was taken in two standard measures, a firkin was 56 pounds. I do not know the weight assigned to a tub. When Rosina mentions the price they received, it was by cents per pound and varied from .28 to .37 or more. They also sold butter to J. Miller Clark in Mainesburg, but I think the price may have been lower than they could get in Troy.
I have transcribed as Rosina wrote including the ungrammatical idioms such as
the use of come instead of came for the past tense. This was her diary and she
was writing it for herself. She never considered that the world might read her
words more than a century after she wrote them. If that had been her intent, I
am sure she would have taken better care, and would have presented her life for
publication. I find it necessary to interject a few commas that she did not,
particularly when she gives a series of names, some with first name only and
some including surnames. There is no way you, the reader, could ever make sense
of that without some commas. I have developed a database of over 80,000 people
since 1992 in my Sullivan-Rutland Genealogy
Project to help me identify them and sort them out.

Manford & Phebe move into one of Will's & Rosina's houses on the hill. Lots of going back and forth - up and down. One of the barns burns in the Spring. Jule & Albert move. Nancy moves over on State Road, probably with her mother-in-law. Frank & Vira move into Charles' house. Charles goes a-courting. Nancy's young son dies. The Circus comes to Troy. Charles gets mad at grandchildren and moves to Isaac's. Centennial - Family goes to Philadelphia celebrations. Charles gets married & moves back to his own house. . |

I am already working on subsequent diaries so there will be people added here whom you do not yet see in the diaries I have published so far. They will come along later.
Fan & Kit are the horses, and Tiger is the dog.
