We were so excited when we found them. However, all she ever recorded was the weather and who visited so we know a lot about the meteorology of the mid-1800s and who she knew. That's about it.<br /><br />Lynne in GAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-43548555305806874412015-01-20T12:24:42.986-05:002015-01-20T12:24:42.986-05:00Esta, I thought of that too and was disappointed t...Esta, I thought of that too and was disappointed to learn it wasn't founded till later.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-43395921573758904052015-01-20T12:17:54.856-05:002015-01-20T12:17:54.856-05:00I would have said Montreat College, but that appar...I would have said Montreat College, but that apparently wasn't founded until 1916.

She told where she walked and the price of bread. It does reveal a lot about their lives as you scan through it.

What is a Caesar at 75 cents? You seemed to know, so I hope you can answer... Less practically inclined thoughts do take me to the various seminaries in the area...which certainly would have outreach to other countries! There were also the hospitals and vacationers in the area in those days, as you already know.
