- 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.
