She is a seamstress and dresses dolls, one for Alma Dogan and another for B.'s. She collects money from individuals who call and she also keeps the accounts for, it appears, the YWCA. She purchases material in town and makes aprons at night for people. She has a wide network of friends and acquaintances. On January 30 there was a fire that destroyed the Columbia Atlantic Hotel and other buildings. Collects board bill from some so probably rents out rooms. Mondays takes in washing and ironing. February 22 had a terrible storm that knocked out telegraph and telephone lines. People were killed. All trains and the mail deliveries were delayed. March 1 there was a street car strike and no cars ran all that day. March 30 went to Oceana to Rev. Augusta's Church. May 8 wrote that Martinegne (Island?) was destroyed by volcanic eruption. May 20 was reelected president of the YWCA July 4 She met with Dr. Mischeaux who came down to Portsmouth from Washington DC. August 4 left fir a trip to Atlanta. Visited Atlanta University to attend a conference (YMCA). While on this week long trip, took an excursion to Tuskeegee, Alabama. September 3 is the last entry in this diary. In summary it appears that she has a daughter named Alma who lives with her and attends school. There is a continuity throughout the diary that would lead you to believe that she manages or runs the house owned and lived in by a doctor and other boarders. The following description and excerpts were provided by the seller: She talks about daily events, mending aprons and dresses along with what was happening in Portsmouth at that time. She mentions being friends and meeting with several well known African Americans including the Norcom family, Bishop A.L. Gaines and others. She talks about Portsmouth and several fires breaking out during the year and the damage it caused. The majority of her entries are dealing with the YMCA, of which she was the President and as the President in September she travels to Atlanta for a conference. She describes meeting at Atlanta University and getting take tours of several Black Colleges in Atlanta and Tuskegee as well as visiting several well known Black Churches in Atlanta. It is really a remarkable piece of African American and Virginia history. I have not been able to identify the name of the woman who kept the diary although she mentions, the Dr and another woman named Alma quite a bit, and seem to either be family or very close friends. It is all handwritten. It is missing the covers but is in otherwise excellent condition. Very scarce to find a great early diary like this by an African American Woman. She writes very beautifully throughout and was an incredibly interesting woman.\" The following excerpts were also provided by the seller and have not been verified for accuracy: \"I was busy arranging for YMCA reception, the first in our new building which proved quite a success.

She is a seamstress and dresses dolls, one for Alma Dogan and another for B.'s. She collects money from individuals who call and she also keeps the accounts for, it appears, the YWCA. She purchases material in town and makes aprons at night for people. She has a wide network of friends and acquaintances. On January 30 there was a fire that destroyed the Columbia Atlantic Hotel and other buildings. Collects board bill from some so probably rents out rooms. Mondays takes in washing and ironing. February 22 had a terrible storm that knocked out telegraph and telephone lines. People were killed. All trains and the mail deliveries were delayed. March 1 there was a street car strike and no cars ran all that day. March 30 went to Oceana to Rev. Augusta's Church. May 8 wrote that Martinegne (Island?) was destroyed by volcanic eruption. May 20 was reelected president of the YWCA July 4 She met with Dr. Mischeaux who came down to Portsmouth from Washington DC. August 4 left fir a trip to Atlanta. Visited Atlanta University to attend a conference (YMCA). While on this week long trip, took an excursion to Tuskeegee, Alabama. September 3 is the last entry in this diary. In summary it appears that she has a daughter named Alma who lives with her and attends school. There is a continuity throughout the diary that would lead you to believe that she manages or runs the house owned and lived in by a doctor and other boarders. The following description and excerpts were provided by the seller: She talks about daily events, mending aprons and dresses along with what was happening in Portsmouth at that time. She mentions being friends and meeting with several well known African Americans including the Norcom family, Bishop A.L. Gaines and others. She talks about Portsmouth and several fires breaking out during the year and the damage it caused. The majority of her entries are dealing with the YMCA, of which she was the President and as the President in September she travels to Atlanta for a conference. She describes meeting at Atlanta University and getting take tours of several Black Colleges in Atlanta and Tuskegee as well as visiting several well known Black Churches in Atlanta. It is really a remarkable piece of African American and Virginia history. I have not been able to identify the name of the woman who kept the diary although she mentions, the Dr and another woman named Alma quite a bit, and seem to either be family or very close friends. It is all handwritten. It is missing the covers but is in otherwise excellent condition. Very scarce to find a great early diary like this by an African American Woman.

The diary was transcribed and made available online in 2012.","For a more detailed description from staff as well as description and excerpts from the diary provided by the seller, please see the folder link below.","The following description was provided by the seller and has not been verified for accuracy:","Daily entries begin on Wednesday, January 1, 1901: She offers good accounts of weather day by day. She is a seamstress and dresses dolls, one for Alma Dogan and another for B.'s. She collects money from individuals who call and she also keeps the accounts for, it appears, the YWCA. She purchases material in town and makes aprons at night for people. She has a wide network of friends and acquaintances. On January 30 there was a fire that destroyed the Columbia Atlantic Hotel and other buildings. Collects board bill from some so probably rents out rooms. Mondays takes in washing and ironing. February 22 had a terrible storm that knocked out telegraph and telephone lines. People were killed. All trains and the mail deliveries were delayed. March 1 there was a street car strike and no cars ran all that day. March 30 went to Oceana to Rev. Augusta's Church. May 8 wrote that Martinegne (Island?) was destroyed by volcanic eruption. May 20 was reelected president of the YWCA July 4 She met with Dr. Mischeaux who came down to Portsmouth from Washington DC. August 4 left fir a trip to Atlanta. Visited Atlanta University to attend a conference (YMCA). While on this week long trip, took an excursion to Tuskeegee, Alabama. September 3 is the last entry in this diary. In summary it appears that she has a daughter named Alma who lives with her and attends school. There is a continuity throughout the diary that would lead you to believe that she manages or runs the house owned and lived in by a doctor and other boarders. The following description and excerpts were provided by the seller: She talks about daily events, mending aprons and dresses along with what was happening in Portsmouth at that time. She mentions being friends and meeting with several well known African Americans including the Norcom family, Bishop A.L. Gaines and others. She talks about Portsmouth and several fires breaking out during the year and the damage it caused. The majority of her entries are dealing with the YMCA, of which she was the President and as the President in September she travels to Atlanta for a conference. She describes meeting at Atlanta University and getting take tours of several Black Colleges in Atlanta and Tuskegee as well as visiting several well known Black Churches in Atlanta. It is really a remarkable piece of African American and Virginia history. I have not been able to identify the name of the woman who kept the diary although she mentions, the Dr and another woman named Alma quite a bit, and seem to either be family or very close friends. It is all handwritten. It is missing the covers but is in otherwise excellent condition. Very scarce to find a great early diary like this by an African American Woman. She writes very beautifully throughout and was an incredibly interesting woman.\" The following excerpts were also provided by the seller and have not been verified for accuracy: \"I was busy arranging for YMCA reception, the first in our new building which proved quite a success.
