Diaries, , 1961 July 2–October 22
Scope and Contents
This series consists of Ethel's writings and family documents. Ethel's diaries span from her childhood almost to her death (1893 - 1968). She begins each entry with the date and the weather, then recounts what she did throughout the day. The diaries are difficult to read but not illegible. Ethel also wrote an unpublished manuscript that is an account of her childhood in California. It includes information about her family, the places she went, the pets she had, and the clothes she wore, and more. The family documents range from 1811 to 1968. They include property deeds, a mortgage and a satisfaction of mortgage, and school transcripts, certificates, and degrees.
