The dates go from October 3, 1886 to November 1887. Having difficulty with my scanner, hope to resume scanning shortly. I don't think it mentions living with grandparents, probably traveling with her father as he preached. Will forward them when I get them scanned. My original hope was it would tell of meeting Elwyn Reed Locke, but I didn't find his name when I first got this..many years ago.
What an amazing, but sad chapter you uncovered. I will get in my reference 'pile' to look at a small diary that was Mary Lydia Northcutt's and forward anything of note to you! Linda
Linda, how wonderful that you have her diary. I’m currently working on a chapter about the four young Northcutt women who died between 1872 (Mary Lydia’s mother) and 1878 and how Grandmother Lydia Barnard picked up the pieces. I wonder, does her diary mention living with her grandparents? What a treasure to have this.
