Editor's Note:
*MEMORANDA (found in back of diary)
On June 15 as Bert Bingham + I were riding through the factory one going each way on our wheels we ran into each other the front wheel struck square it broke his fron fork + we both plowed the ground but neither of us were hurt.

This day in 1898 seems to be a banner day from the haul when fishing to the crash in the factory, an examination and a religious meeting. Very eclectic and exciting.
In 1900 Miss Ruth Davis of Olean is still setting her bonnet at Allen while Alice continues to endure her forced separation from him uptown.
But it all gets settled properly at some point because in 1903 Alice gets "sick" and delivers her second baby--a girl. Gets "sick" is probably the most priceless description of labor I've ever heard...so understated.
The illustration is from a book Anders Warn gave his daughter Alice upon marriage that Gram passed on to Diana.
