- Description:
- A red marbled paper-bound diary for the year 1891. This diary belonged to Gertrude Deland, and the year she wrote in it she was employed as a clerk for the Superintendent of Public Instruction in the Michigan state capitol building. She was born in 1870, and most of her life she lived in Jackson. Throughout her diary, she mentions socializing with many people of prominence in early Lansing history. The first few entries are about a New Year's Eve ball, at which she danced with outgoing Governor Cyrus Luce, and it is clear that she and her family were connected in Lansing society. Other names mentioned include Bement, Beale, Moffatt, Loomis, Buck, Davis, Hagadorn, and many more. Most of the diary is very matter-of-fact recording of daily activities such as taking care of her sick aunt, playing with Homer (a nephew?), going to church with family, visiting friends, attending women's club meetings, and visiting Jackson, Detroit, and other Michigan places. Loose items pasted in include a list of friends who married during 1891, and a list of dresses in her wardrobe that year. She owned 20 dresses in 1891.

- Description:
- A handwritten diary with covers missing, by an unidentified author. The diary dates from July 4, 1898, to August 18, 1899, and mentions its author's birth date as April 22, 1875. Library staff's best guess is that the author was Grace Robson, whose sister Bertha (Baker) and nephew Wendell are frequently referred to in the diary. A clipping noting the bankruptcy of the Robson Brothers mercantile business in 1899 is tucked in the diary; Grace's father Robert was one of the three brothers. The author wrote about her daily activities, including going to church, working on needlework, meeting with friends, the clothes she wore, riding "wheels" (bicycles), shopping in Lansing, and working in an office for a Mr. Davis and Mr. Page. A list of books she read in 1898 is inside the back cover. Highlights of the diary include a Phrenologist visit on December 19, 1898, and references to watching the Pilgrim Church fire and one of Lansing's early African-American families, the Dungeys, one of whom worked as a janitor in Mr. Davis' office. She mentions an Ernest Gibbs often; he may have been a suitor of hers. There are also frequent references to Lotie and Harlow (Newell). In the 1898 and 1900 Lansing City Directories, there were several businesses run by men with the last name Davis, as well as Davises who worked for several state agencies. There is only one Page, a John T. Page who was Superintendent of Public Works in 1898. No Davis was employed there in that year. The diary author did not specify the type of work she was engaged in other than writing bills, though in one instance she mentions a new German "sidewalk man" in the office. In both 1898 and 1900 directories, a Grace Robson, clerk at the Board of Public Works and resident of her parents' home at 107 N. Walnut St., is listed.
