They only had time to go to their state rooms before Southard had to return to shore. \"We watched him out of sight as our boat started up\" They came to Southampton but didn't go into dock. Tenders came out with passengers and baggage. They passed the isle of White and other ports on the English coast. After dinner Anne, Carol and Mr Bendecke played bridge. Anne received a letter from Bess and a telegram from Southard. Carol met a Mr Brown who had her as a student at Old Point when she was there. The seas grew tough and Anne didn't care for lunch or dinner. The next day the seas were still rough. Anne got up, dressed and stayed on a lounge chair. Carol didn't get up. Anne got the \"Atlantic daily News\" after lunch. The Amerika had a \"lift' (elevator and a gymnasium. The seas were very rough. Anne and Carol stayed in bed. Mr Bendecke sent a beautiful bunch of lilacs \"to the invalids in 109\" The next day the sea were high and rough and it was cold. Anne made it up on deck and had her lunch. A boat bound for England passed them. The seas were rough again. They all made it for dinner. Then they reviewed all of their purchases for the purpose of declarations. They had the captain's Dinner. They served beautiful illuminated ice cream. Laurence sent them lovely lilies of the valley. In the evening there was a concert but neither Anne or Carol attended. They took pictures on the upper deck. They docked at Hoboken and had no trouble at the Customs. House. Mr B gave Anne and Carol bracelets. Anne went to the \"Woodstock\" at 43rd and Broadway. She met friends including her younger brother Parker. Parker went to Jersey City and Anne boarded a train for Washington DC. \" \"Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"","The following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026 Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026dat=19321226\u0026id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

A number of 1st class passengers and about 200 3rd class passengers left the ship. Anne and others left the boat later and took a carriage with a guide. They went to the Church of the Annunciation.

The first thing they noticed was the \"immense quiet\" of the place. There were hundreds playing but from the expressions on their faces Anne couldn't tell if they were winning or losing. There was no excitement. They saw an actress who is considered the most beautiful woman in Europe. They watched the players for an hour and then went across the street to a café to eat. They walked down the promenade and then decided to try their luck at the Casino. Anne was lucky to win 40 francs and then another 40 francs so she was 80 francs ahead Later she and Carol went all over town trying to find \"chocholate\" They returned to Nice and all went to a play in the evening.

The carnival lasted for 2 weeks \"Mrs Schull and Katharine went with us first to Cook's and then to \"Royal\" for lunch where we saw La Belleterra considered the most beautiful woman in Europe\" After lunch they took the train back to Monte Carlo where they spent the rest of the day. Laurence and Katharine won. They had dinner at \"Hotel de Paris\" which is connected to the Casino by underground passages. They slept in. Catharine helped Carol wash her hair. In the afternoon Laurence took them on a beautiful automobile trip to Menton in \"Berliet\" They took the Carniche Road which winds around the mountain with great views of the Mediterranean and the towns there. At Menton they found another carnival and the streets were crowded with people. Mrs Schull gave a tea party for them at a Tea Room. Back in Nice some of the women went to see the \"illumination and burning in effigy of the King of Carnival\" The Schulls left for Rome. The rest of them went to a concert. In the afternoon they took a gaily decorated carriage with yellow and red flowers. They went and bought flowers and then went to compete in the \"Battle of the Flowers\" where they threw flowers at other people and had flowers thrown at them. It was part of the Carnival.

They went to Monte Carlo and had lunch at Ciros Restaurant. Later they were at the Casino and \"watched others at the slot machine\".

In Paris they stayed at the Hotel des Deux Mond They had a very regal room with rose furniture, heavy gold mirrors, humidors They met some women they knew who introduced them to more people. It was raining so they spent time in the picture gallery at the Louvre. The Louvre was only a short walk from their hotel. Mr Case engaged Mr Symonds to show them around, he was very entertaining. Anne and Carol went shopping. Carol tried on some nice hats. They went to Huiry's for lunch in Rue St Augustine, They took a cab to Ben Mardu which was a huge department store. They looked at everything and bought some lingerie. When they came out of the store they tried to take a bus \"..but we were not cordially received by the conductor\" They took a cab to the Café de Paris but the driver told them they wouldn't be served at that elegant place. Indeed they were directed to the American Tea Room a few doors down. In the evening they went to the Opera House. Anne bought some glasses at a shop across the street. Then Anne, Carol, Mr Case and Laurence walked up Rue de la Pais. \"Afterwards Laurence got an automated taximeter and we went all over the city\" past Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame, Concord Place and the Bastille.

They went to the museum and looked at some paintings. Then they went to the royal stables. There were about 300 horses and 500 carriages. They saw the new guard come into the palace. They couldn't go into the palace because it was the anniversary of the revolution of 1848. They went to the Dom, a beautiful church across from the palace and where the Kaiser attended services frequently. They went to lunch with Mr Thackera the Consul General to Berlin.

Southard and Mr Case went to Metz to see where they grew trees from seed. Anne, Carol and Laurence went to the Royal Palace. They had to put on felt slippers so they wouldn't scratch the floors. Anne thought the Palace was beautiful but that the interior was dark and gloomy. They saw the Room of the Black Eagle, Throne Room, Chapel, Banquet Hall and Picture gallery.

They had a fine time and met a lot of people. Then they met Mr Case at the \"Rheingold\" for dinner. They went to see a variety. Then they went to Leipzig. (Anne, her sister Bess and broth Brainard Jr had lived in Leipzig in 1899-1900. At the time Brainard was the US. consul to Leipzig.) Frau Merhaut was waiting to greet them with some early flowers. Her sister had also sent a pretty bunch. \"It seemed so good to get back to our old abode that I was quite reduced to tears. Southard has the place fixed up in wonderfully good taste\" They had tea across the street, went shopping and returned to the consulate.They went to dinner with old friends.

She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"","The following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026 Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026dat=19321226\u0026id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and three brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr , Southard and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Annes's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue.

They ;landed and visited Punta Del Garda the largest city. The Azores belong to Portugal. Anne said the climate was wonderful and all sorts of tropical plants grew there. They saw hills, gardens, pastures and more. \"Columbus stopped at Santa Maria at San Miguel in \"Nina\" in 1493 after terrible gales Anne said they left the Republic to go down the sides of the steamer to get to other landing boats. They went to Punta Del Garda and took carriages to the beautiful gardens. There were all sorts of tropical plants, ferns, flowers and more. The camillas and hibiscus were very fine. They stopped at one old cathedral and then walked to another chapel on the hill overlooking the harbor. Anne took pictures. The native women wore long flowing robes with hoods. She saw a conk drum by a sheep. The streets are narrow and paved with stone. The houses are low and white, pale pink or buff. The sidewalks are fancy with inlaid stones that look like mosaics. They returned to the boat and watched the island as they sailed away. Later they played shuffle board The Republic docked in Genoa. A number of 1st class passengers and about 200 3rd class passengers left the ship. Anne and others left the boat later and took a carriage with a guide. They went to the Church of the Annunciation. They drove by Campo Santo and one of the most remarkable cemeteries. Since 1818 there were more than 1,500,000 Catholics buried there. Rich people can buy a niche for $2000. Other crypts are beautifully carves and cost $10,000. When there wasn't a carved statue there were framed pictures of the deceased hung over the door. Under the floor of the chapel are buried the famous men of Genoa. The poor people are buried in a large plot in the center. After two years the remains are removed and others take their place. They went to the Palace Durazzo with a beautiful staircase and paintings by Reubens and Tintoretto. They went to the port of San Lorenzo with homes of alternating black and white marble.

They could see Corsica in the distance They landed at Naples. They had gotten up early and saw Capri long before they came into harbor. They spent an hour saying Goodbye to each other and waiting for permission to leave the Republic. When they did go into the Customs House it seemed like pandemonium. Many were rustling wildly trying to find someone who spoke English. Anne found herself on a bus with Mrs Schull and Miss Schull. They went to the hotel Santa Lucia where they had beautiful rooms overlooking the Bay of Naples. Vesuvius was off to the left and Castle 'Oro was straight in front. They had lunch and then went to the Villa Nationale. There's a garden along the waterfront. The Acquarium was in the center. They walked though it and saw jelly fish, octopus and flower fish.

They arrived and passed through a public garden before entering \"the greatest gambling house in the world\". They had to buy admission tickets. The first thing they noticed was the \"immense quiet\" of the place. There were hundreds playing but from the expressions on their faces Anne couldn't tell if they were winning or losing. There was no excitement. They saw an actress who is considered the most beautiful woman in Europe. They watched the players for an hour and then went across the street to a café to eat.

They went to the museum and looked at some paintings. Then they went to the royal stables. There were about 300 horses and 500 carriages. They saw the new guard come into the palace. They couldn't go into the palace because it was the anniversary of the revolution of 1848.

(Anne, her sister Bess and broth Brainard Jr had lived in Leipzig in 1899-1900. At the time Brainard was the US. consul to Leipzig.) Frau Merhaut was waiting to greet them with some early flowers. Her sister had also sent a pretty bunch. \"It seemed so good to get back to our old abode that I was quite reduced to tears. Southard has the place fixed up in wonderfully good taste\" They had tea across the street, went shopping and returned to the consulate.They went to dinner with old friends.

She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026amp; Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026amp;dat=19321226\u0026amp;id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026amp;sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026amp;pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

Front Page: \"Anna P Warner 2300 Massachusetts Avenue Washington DC From RPW January 24th 1908\" \"RPW\" was Rebecca (Bess) P Warner, Anna's older sister. Bess always called her Anne. Anne sailed on the steamer \"Republic\" from New York to Naples. She traveled with some friends. She and Carol had been at the Manhattan Hotel where they had lunch with Anne's brother Brainard Jr Brainard and Parker,one of her other brothers, came to see them off at the dock. They ran into the Seymours who they knew from brown Hall Boston. Anne and another man attended Sunday services on board. Anne mentions all of the people who sat at their table for dinner. They had breakfast and went u on the hurricane deck. Anne walked and later sat on a deck chair and read. Anne was feeling pretty good but Mr Case was decidedly the best sailor. Anne walked, read and napped. Tea was served every day at 4:30 Anne walked with others, met some people from Ohio. There was more of a pitch to the seas. The Bohners had their steamer chairs on one side of her and Mr Bliven from Providence on the other side. Anne continued to meet new people on the steamer. Anne walked with Carol and then went to the hurricane deck. They went to the dining room for music. One couple sang for them. Anne met Mr Steele from Highland Park, Chicago. After dinner she walked a long while with Miss Seymour. Then they went with others for refreshments. Anne got up just in time to see San Miguel Island, the largest of the Azores. They ;landed and visited Punta Del Garda the largest city. The Azores belong to Portugal. Anne said the climate was wonderful and all sorts of tropical plants grew there. They saw hills, gardens, pastures and more. \"Columbus stopped at Santa Maria at San Miguel in \"Nina\" in 1493 after terrible gales Anne said they left the Republic to go down the sides of the steamer to get to other landing boats. They went to Punta Del Garda and took carriages to the beautiful gardens. There were all sorts of tropical plants, ferns, flowers and more. The camillas and hibiscus were very fine. They stopped at one old cathedral and then walked to another chapel on the hill overlooking the harbor. Anne took pictures. The native women wore long flowing robes with hoods. She saw a conk drum by a sheep. The streets are narrow and paved with stone. The houses are low and white, pale pink or buff. The sidewalks are fancy with inlaid stones that look like mosaics. They returned to the boat and watched the island as they sailed away. Later they played shuffle board The Republic docked in Genoa. A number of 1st class passengers and about 200 3rd class passengers left the ship. Anne and others left the boat later and took a carriage with a guide. They went to the Church of the Annunciation. They drove by Campo Santo and one of the most remarkable cemeteries. Since 1818 there were more than 1,500,000 Catholics buried there. Rich people can buy a niche for $2000. Other crypts are beautifully carves and cost $10,000. When there wasn't a carved statue there were framed pictures of the deceased hung over the door. Under the floor of the chapel are buried the famous men of Genoa. The poor people are buried in a large plot in the center. After two years the remains are removed and others take their place. They went to the Palace Durazzo with a beautiful staircase and paintings by Reubens and Tintoretto. They went to the port of San Lorenzo with homes of alternating black and white marble. The Chapel of St John the Baptist contains his relics. \"\"Only men are allowed to step inside the place as it was a woman who caused John to be beheaded\" They went to the Rossazio gardens where they had a great view of Genoa and the harbor. Terraces, grottos,marble statues. Anne had dinner on the Republic. Then she went to an opera with some other people. The men put their hats on and stood up and stared at the audience between acts. They left Genoa and the Republic steamed along the west coast of Italy. They passed very close to the island of Elba where Napolean was banished in 1815. They could see Corsica in the distance They landed at Naples. They had gotten up early and saw Capri long before they came into harbor. They spent an hour saying Goodbye to each other and waiting for permission to leave the Republic. When they did go into the Customs House it seemed like pandemonium. Many were rustling wildly trying to find someone who spoke English. Anne found herself on a bus with Mrs Schull and Miss Schull. They went to the hotel Santa Lucia where they had beautiful rooms overlooking the Bay of Naples. Vesuvius was off to the left and Castle 'Oro was straight in front. They had lunch and then went to the Villa Nationale. There's a garden along the waterfront. The Acquarium was in the center. They walked though it and saw jelly fish, octopus and flower fish. They went back to the hotel. Then they went out and took a trolley. The trolley was divided into 2 sections – first and second class. They went back and had tea and then dinner. Anne started out with the guide Francis and several others on a 2 day trip. They drove in a \"fine Clement machine\". (car). They went to Pompei and to the buried city of Hercularium. They passed a few miles from Vesuvius. They saw the Pompei Museum, and several temples. They had a beautiful ride through Nocera, La cara and the Valley of the Mills. They saw Salerno in the distance. They had an enormous luncheon at a vineyard. They went to Amalfi and stayed at an old monastery. They reached Naples after one of the finest days Anne felt she had spent. They stayed in the Santa Lucia hotel all day. Laurence sent them all a bunch of violets. Catherine, Carol and Anne had lunch together. They went shopping at Meralas for gloves. They went to another hotel for a tea party. Rome \"Hotel Savoy\" They left Naples and took the train to Rome. Anne took a carriage and went down Via Nationale. Across Ponti St Angelo, past St Peter's and back by the new Castle of Justice and Piazzon del Popolo They took a carriage to Santa Marie Maggiore. One of the most beautiful churches in Rome with the tallest tower. It was said that on August 5th there was a miraculous snow storm and the Virgin Mary appropriated the site for a temple (in the 4th Century) Beautiful Borghese chapel. There was a statue to Pope Piux XI. He was supposed to be buried there but decided to be buried \"with the poor at San Lorenzo\" They drove to the American Church where Dr Wadsworth preaches. Dr Thurber preached to them instead. Afterwards Mrs Thurber introduced them to a lot of Americans. After lunch they walked to Pincian Hill and listened to the band.They watched the crowds of people coming there to the most popular spot in Rome on a Sunday afternoon. Later they had chocolate and a cake at Café Nozionale (Corso). They sat at a little table on the sidewalk. Then they went back to the Savoy in time to dress for 7 o'clock dinner. They went to the Museum of Modern Art. Then they spent 2 hours at St Peter's and the Vatican. After lunch they went to the Coliseum, the Arch of Constantine and the Via Appia. In the evening they ll went to the Italian Royal Opera and saw \"Otello\" by Verdi. They went to see the Vatican Galleries. They stopped at the right colonnade of St Peters and there were brod stairs leading up that were designed by Bernini. They went into the Sistine chapel where the Cardinals elect a new Pope. Smoke is sent out when the new Pope is elected. The ceiling is covered with Frescoes by Michaelangelo. Only 3000 ducats paid for it. The \"Last Judgement\" is at the end of the chapel and was done when Michaelangelo was 60. It took 7 tears, Anne describes the many paintings they saw. They also saw the mosaic factory in the Vatican. One artist was working on a piece that was going to be sold for $2000. The Vatican contains 11,000 chambers, 20 courts and 8 grand staircases. The Pope goes out every pleasant day into the exterior gardens but never is allowed to go past the Vatican walls. \"This makes him virtually a prisoner for life\".

The first cathedral was built in the 4th century and some of the pillars and mosaics of that time are still present. There was a fire in 1854 and the cathedral had to be rebuilt.

They had a fine time and met a lot of people. Then they met Mr Case at the \"Rheingold\" for dinner. They went to see a variety. Then they went to Leipzig. (Anne, her sister Bess and broth Brainard Jr had lived in Leipzig in 1899-1900. At the time Brainard was the US. consul to Leipzig.) Frau Merhaut was waiting to greet them with some early flowers.

She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"","The following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026 Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026dat=19321226\u0026id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

CONTENT : I tried to capture some of the interesting entries in the diary but there are many more. These entries are spread out over four months - from January to April 1908. Front Page: \"Anna P Warner 2300 Massachusetts Avenue Washington DC From RPW January 24th 1908\" \"RPW\" was Rebecca (Bess) P Warner, Anna's older sister. Bess always called her Anne.

They ;landed and visited Punta Del Garda the largest city. The Azores belong to Portugal. Anne said the climate was wonderful and all sorts of tropical plants grew there. They saw hills, gardens, pastures and more. \"Columbus stopped at Santa Maria at San Miguel in \"Nina\" in 1493 after terrible gales Anne said they left the Republic to go down the sides of the steamer to get to other landing boats.

She saw a conk drum by a sheep. The streets are narrow and paved with stone. The houses are low and white, pale pink or buff. The sidewalks are fancy with inlaid stones that look like mosaics. They returned to the boat and watched the island as they sailed away. Later they played shuffle board The Republic docked in Genoa. A number of 1st class passengers and about 200 3rd class passengers left the ship. Anne and others left the boat later and took a carriage with a guide. They went to the Church of the Annunciation. They drove by Campo Santo and one of the most remarkable cemeteries. Since 1818 there were more than 1,500,000 Catholics buried there. Rich people can buy a niche for $2000. Other crypts are beautifully carves and cost $10,000. When there wasn't a carved statue there were framed pictures of the deceased hung over the door.

She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"","The following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026 Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026dat=19321226\u0026id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland.

She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026amp; Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026amp;dat=19321226\u0026amp;id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026amp;sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026amp;pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

Transcripts, indexes, and key words are only tools meant to help guide users to the sound recordings. Most of these interviews were done by WDP student-interviewers. Most interviews combine a life history format with some questioning specific to a student-interviewer's research interests. As part of their training, WDP students do some group interviews and also interview one another, and the collection also contains these recordings. Additionally, the collection gathers some recordings that were done by other groups—for example, local volunteers helping commemorate Williamsburg's 300th anniversary. All oral history interviews conducted by the WDP are done following the Oral History Association's principles and best practices guidelines. Each record in the digital archive contains: a) a sound recording of an interview (WAV format; some MP3 format); a few recordings have been edited to reflect restrictions; some recordings are available for use only on-site in Swem Library's Special Collections b) an image of the Deed of Gift relevant to the interview (PDF or TIFF format) c) a \"live index\" to the recording (PDF format); these indexes were made by assistants to the main interviewer during the interview and, using time code, give a rough guide to major topics covered in the interview. d) a \"headnote\" (PDF format); written by the main interviewer, headnotes give some basic information on the circumstances in which the interview took place and highlight some key topics covered in the interview. Many records also contain: e) an interview transcript, which incorporates the headnote described above (PDF format); prepared by the main interviewer, transcripts attempt to render the dialogue of the interview in a way that is quickly searchable. SCHOLARS WISHING TO QUOTE, SYNOPSIZE, OR REFERENCE A WDP ORAL HISTORY SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THE TRANSCRIPT AGAINST THE INTERVIEW RECORDING.

Transcripts, indexes, and key words are only tools meant to help guide users to the sound recordings. Most of these interviews were done by WDP student-interviewers. Most interviews combine a life history format with some questioning specific to a student-interviewer's research interests. As part of their training, WDP students do some group interviews and also interview one another, and the collection also contains these recordings. Additionally, the collection gathers some recordings that were done by other groups—for example, local volunteers helping commemorate Williamsburg's 300th anniversary. All oral history interviews conducted by the WDP are done following the Oral History Association's principles and best practices guidelines. Each record in the digital archive contains: a) a sound recording of an interview (WAV format; some MP3 format); a few recordings have been edited to reflect restrictions; some recordings are available for use only on-site in Swem Library's Special Collections b) an image of the Deed of Gift relevant to the interview (PDF or TIFF format) c) a \"live index\" to the recording (PDF format); these indexes were made by assistants to the main interviewer during the interview and, using time code, give a rough guide to major topics covered in the interview. d) a \"headnote\" (PDF format); written by the main interviewer, headnotes give some basic information on the circumstances in which the interview took place and highlight some key topics covered in the interview. Many records also contain: e) an interview transcript, which incorporates the headnote described above (PDF format); prepared by the main interviewer, transcripts attempt to render the dialogue of the interview in a way that is quickly searchable.

She discusses her contributions to the 2022 excavation of the First Baptist Church Cite as among her proudest projects, describing the uncovering of such a personal history for the descendant community as a fulfilling process that exemplifies the value of archaeology. Poole also explains how she balanced her dual interests in fieldwork and obligations as a public-facing archaeologist with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, recalling as paramount her skills in creative writing and community development. She advises future archaeologists to focus on a specialized field of research that interests them and communicate the relevant knowledge in ways that the general public can understand and appreciate. Williamsburg Documentary Project students Caleb Fulford and Abigail Swanberg conducted the interview on February 20, 2024, at 2:00 pm with a Zoom H4N and DGI microphones provided by graduate student Molly Robinson. Fulford, Swanberg, and indexer Natalie Lopez reference the class assignment involving the interview in AMST 410: Williamsburg Documentary Project, taught by Professor Michelle Lelièvre.","This interview was conducted by Natalie Corsello and Emma Blackwood and was indexed by Anika Ahammad. The entire interview was transcribed. The interview took place on the afternoon of 2/13/2024 in person at Boswell Hall Room# 40 on 100 Ukrop Way, Williamsburg, VA.

She discusses the impact of being the middle child and the oldest daughter growing up in the church and transitioning to becoming a student. Further, she recalls the cultural changes of living in Williamsburg, as her parents didn't visit and there were no black students on campus,\nstating that the campus was isolated and segregated. She recounts how her religion fostered community, enabling a closer connection between her and her friends. She discusses how William and Mary felt insulated, how she felt little connection to the community outside of campus, and comments on the lack of news and political discussion. Diane cites the liberal arts education at the college as the inspiration for her study of sociology and subsequent career in social work. This interview was conducted by undergraduate students Caroline Cromwell and Leah Schrum and was indexed by Sarah Kinlaw. The interview took place in the Samuel E. Jones building on the William and Mary campus on the afternoon of 3/6/2025. This interview was conducted for research purposes by the Williamsburg Documentary Project, taught by\nMolly Robinson and Tijuana Reeve.","This description is taken from the headnote for the oral history. ","In this interview, Zach Meredith discusses how his experience as a student at William and Mary shaped his understanding of community and belonging. He discusses how he was drawn to W\u0026M for its intellectual community, and subsequently found his community through the American Studies department and the Williamsburg Documentary Project course. Further, Zach details how the WDP exposed him to new ways of approaching history through archive work and understanding of his positionality. He recounts how his research on the Triangle Block during the WDP developed into his senior thesis project, \"Urban Renewal in the Colonial Capital: Contextualizing the Williamsburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority\"(2019). Now teaching at the same high school in Durham, North Carolina that he attended as a student, Zach\nhopes to develop a Durham History elective, incorporating aspects from the WDP.
