Dear Dorothy, This E-mail reminded me of what the "journal" of Levina Jones might have been like. You recall that I came across an entry typed out ( about her sorrow about loosing so many of her family to early and untimely deaths) and you told me that you had typed it but did now know where the journal now was or what it might have contained. I do hope that it shows up again some day.

I am now in the midst of my multi-day radioactive gallium scan. Full results perhaps the middle of next week. RON ( read on below - - I keep check on Bell County, TX because Hardy used to live there)

Subject: [TXBELL-L] Great-grandmother's daybooks


Saturday I fell heir to a family treasure -- my
great-grandmother's "daybooks," a series of several ledgers in
which she had written little notes about the weather and other
daily happenings. This great-grandmother was Lucy Vickers, wife
of Henry E. Vickers; they lived in the Oenaville/Seaton area from
about 1876 until the late 1920s. The books cover a period from
1922 until her death in 1931; I haven't had time to read many of
the entries, but have noticed that she notes things like which
farmer had the first bale of cotton for the area, going into
Temple to Cheeves' to "do some trading," etc. Many of the
entries deal with the weather, and most are family-oriented, but
there are some mentions of neighbors, deaths and funerals, etc.
As I come across names that may be of interest to others on this
list, I'll be glad to post them if y'all would like.
Nancy Harwood
