There are addresses, notes, accounts, Christmas lists and book lists in the back of many of the early diaries.

One flyer is for Altar Wines from James Moroney of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and one clipping announces his resignation from St. Mary's Episcopal Church on October 1 to become rector of St. John's Church, Bellefonte and gives a brief biography of his ministry up to that point. He begins the new larger diary œ¦giving a fuller and more detailed account of my daily activities¦of my personal impressions of people, places and things and events, too¦ Rev. Sayre then summarizes his other diaries, beginning with 1917. He divides the earlier diaries into œBabyhood, œBoyhood, œYouth and œYoung Manhood periods. He gives more detail of events that he recorded in these early diaries, such as a conflict with Dr. George Thomas of St. Paul's Church in Kenwood, Chicago and the effects of the Depression on St. Mary's Church in Pennsylvania. On Page 10, he gives a wonderful description of Marjorie Renison Sayre, his wife. The 1938 diary begins his œManhood period. His early entries are more in depth and personal, even giving detail of things that happened in the past, or people, such as his Mother, but he quickly reverts to just telling of his daily activities with few personal touches. Rev. Sayre mentions listening to the new presiding Bishop, Rt. Rev. Henry St. George Tucker of Virginia, on the radio on New Year's Day, 1938. He writes œRev. Dr. W.A.R.

He confides to one of his brothers of his love for his cousin Lizzie, talks of going out west and then to Texas, but later ends up returning home. There, he seems desperate to find a job he likes or some kind of adventure and even writes to Henry Stanley in Zanzibar, Africa, asking for work. He also submits some pieces to magazines asking them to publish them, and also writes to colleges about their Civil Engineering courses. He is very interested in athletics, including skating and baseball. \" \"Some examples of letters include: \"Oct 11, 1886 - To my sister Mattie: Dear Sister: Forgive me for leaving you the way I did, but can you guess how hard it was for me to leave. In going away I done what I thought was for the best. I hope I done right. You know what disagreeable things happened with Poppy and myself sometimes. Wasn't it best that that should be stopped. Did you know how everything seemed to go wrong with me making me dissatisfied, discouraging and sometimes driving me about to desperation. You know how I got to using bad words. That wasn't the worse. I got to swearing. I done wrong and I knew it, but when I was mad I didn't care much for that. I felt myself growing worse and worse. And I do believe that if I stayed there until I finished my trade and if everything went on at the rate it has been going, I would have become a drunkard or something equally bad. I thought if I would get away, the thought of home and loved ones there would help me fight against evil (and it will). I got sick, not sick enough to lay in bed all the time, but too sick to work, and Monday morning when Poppy called up the steps the way he did, I felt as if (as I told Georgie) for a quarter I would go away. Can you imagine the torture I went through the rest of the week. I didn't make up my mind to go until Saturday and even then I didn't know I would go until I was off. And now it is done. Don't worry about me Mattie, it might have been worse. Forgive me. God bless you. Good-bye. Your loving brother, Stevie. January 15, 1887 Dear Father: I suppose you are looking for an answer from me before this. I have been up to Roaring Branch and just got back on the 13th. Joey was about to send your letter to me. I don't think I lost much of a job at the Hotel either. I think I am too much afraid of being imposed upon because if anybody does the least thing out of the road, it seems hard for me to let it go without paying them back for it. Of course its a wrong...., but I don't know I must be proud I guess. I am very glad to hear you are better. Are you working yet? I started away from here on the 4th to hunt for work up there, but I believe its taken more experienced men for lumbering this time of the year, as it is pretty dangerous. I did help saw and split some wood at Thomacer, but that's not the kind of work I mean is and that only lasted a day or two. I suppose Georgie told you about how the place is. I liked the weather there a great deal better than here. I walked from Roaring Branch to Trout Run on Monday afternoon, about 15 miles. At Trout Run I heard of a man in from Texas who was gathering some young fellows together to take out there for herding cattle. I wanted to see him and waited there until Wednesday, when I started away and seen he was on the same train I was. I spoke to him about it at Willimsport. His offer is pretty good if he is honest. He says: I pay him $10 down for my fare from Lock Haven to Texas, where I could work the other $10 out when I am free to go where I please or pay the full $20 down at once and leave anytime. He says though he don't want the money but wants the man. He furnishes rifle, revolver, buckskin suit, pony saddle and bridle and says if I don't like the country he would send me back free of charge. Offers $40 a month and board at first, afterward, between that and $75. He says its not as much danger out there as some people make it out to be and that there is more danger in straying off with the herd, getting lost on the Prairie and meeting with Indians. They would rob you but would not hurt you. He says he wants fellows that don't drink nor swear, etc. Honest, sober, industrious young men. The man may be honest and all that, but it's risky business. I walked from Williamsport to .... with him. There I gave him 25 cents to telegraph to me at Pottersville to know if he had enough men. He took it and invited me over to a restaurant where we each had a plate of Oysters. We come from there to Northumberland where he paid for my night's lodging and my breakfast. We went to Church that night there. He asked me to go, he offered to buy me an overcoat if I wanted on and when I left him, offered me money if I hadn't enough. He said he would telegraph to me yesterday, but I rec'd none yet. Maybe he intends to come here if he does and Joey likes him, I may go. I would have liked to talked to you about it and liked you to see him. He gives his name as George W. Wilson, Harrisonville, Harrison Co., Texas. Says he was a Preacher but had to give it up on account of his health. I doubt whether I'll ever see him again. I think he is either honest or else playing a very deep game. I intend to start for Nebraska in two or three weeks if nothing happens and I have the money. I would like to see you all first, but I can't trust myself home. when I go home, I want to stay there. When I was up at .... I seen an Electric Battery and thinking you may be interested in it, I will try to give you a description of it. the old man said he made it about 60 years ago when he was 20 years old (a little drawing is there). Now I don't know what they are but I'l given them as I suppose: 1 \u0026 5 cloth \u0026 for friction. 2: glass cylinder. 3: conductors. 4: crank. Then he have different little things such as showing the effect of lightening rods in lightening. Good by. Your loving son Stevie. Tell Tommy to write. April 25, 1889 - To Mr. Henry M. Stanley, Zanzibar, Africa. Dear Sir: I hope you will excuse the liberty I take in writing this way to an entire stranger. If I am not mistaken, you know what this country is in regards to wages, etc. I understand you used to live hereabouts. Wages and work here is cut \u0026 dried and seems to be little chance for a poor young man. He must work hard and steady and he will not get a sum of money layed up until late in life (perhaps too late to enjoy it) indeed he will be lucky if he ever lays enough up to retire. And to one craving adventure now and then, this sort of life continually is all the harder. There is not enough adventure of the kind I like around here to find out what there is in me, there may be very little in me for all I know. If one could by a mighty burst of pluck, skill, daring and strength gain both his fame and fortune, I would like to be that person. I would not want to forsake this country, not even for 5 or 10 years, unless I was sure of coming back rich or at least well fixed. I am poor as I have hinted. I have not enough money to come there, if I was sure of prospering. Is there business chances in that country that would satisfy me? What do you pay your men on an expedition? What chances for getting a fortune are there? I don't want you to think any boyish novel-reading fancy induced me to write to you. If the outlook over there over-balances the circumstances here, my intentions are to come when I can. Your sincere well wishes....\"","June 19, 1890 - This afternoon we did not have work at the brickyard on account of fixing the rolle. Today there was a reunion of some of America at Valley Forge. I walked up there this afternoon. September 8th - This morning, Tommy, Ed Beidman and I went out to the Globe Park ball grounds, where we had a game of Kock-out. Elmer playing with us for awhile. This afternoon, Cora and Edie and Ed Beidmann, John Fretz, Tommy and I went out boating. We went to Catfish Dam. Had a pleasant time. The water and weather was clear and pleasant. Oct. 12 - The small insignificant things written in these books are not always written as much for their worth as they are to recall something else. People or circumstances and even frame of mind that I was in at that time. January 14, 1891 - They are having a great time with the Sioux Indians out west this winter. They have left their Reservation and there have been fighting with some killed on both sides. May 3, 1891 - The Norristown Baseball gounds at Oak View is fixed up in reasonable good condition this year. George was thrown out of work for a week. Him, Tommy, elmer and I seen a game between the Norristown \u0026 Richmond of Phila. Norristown beat them 18 to 0. I believe the Norristown had Granlick, Owens, Cox, Foulbrod and Valee playing. May 17 - There was Circus in town yesterday. It was Robbin's Circus. It didn't seem to be much account. They had no street parade. They had a few free exhibitions. This afternoon, I took a walk down around the Circus grounds at Franklin Avenue and then to the river to Camp grounds where they expected to have a game of ball, but no one was there. I went out o he brikyard, there was game between Norristown and Cooling. Norristown beat them 8 to 4. Joe Hartman pitched for Norristown. He seems to have luck. He had a good many strike outs, yet he appears to play a poor game. August 11, 1891 - Mattie came home last night. There was some excitement across the way last night at Wolfingers. Mr. Wofinger is a conductor on the railway and I believe does not get home till after 12 at night. Somewhere around 11 Mrs. Woflinger discovered a man in her room she thought it was her husband and went to get a light to see, when the man grabbed her and choked her and after quite a tussle he escaped. Jan 28, 1893 - Yesterday afternoon I was down to the gym. They are trying to organize a baseball team for next season and want George, Tommy and I to join it. June 7, 1893 - I was down at a gymnasium on Lafayette St tonight. Clarence Miller invited me down to see him take a boxing lesson. He is taking lessons off of a fellow by the name of Draper.","Before reproducing or quoting from any materials, in whole or in part, permission must be obtained from the Special Collections Research Center, and the holder of the copyright, if not Swem Library.","Special Collections Research Center","English"],"unitid_tesim":["MS 00018","/repositories/2/resources/2506"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Stephen P.

In going away I done what I thought was for the best. I hope I done right. You know what disagreeable things happened with Poppy and myself sometimes. Wasn't it best that that should be stopped. Did you know how everything seemed to go wrong with me making me dissatisfied, discouraging and sometimes driving me about to desperation. You know how I got to using bad words. That wasn't the worse. I got to swearing. I done wrong and I knew it, but when I was mad I didn't care much for that. I felt myself growing worse and worse. And I do believe that if I stayed there until I finished my trade and if everything went on at the rate it has been going, I would have become a drunkard or something equally bad. I thought if I would get away, the thought of home and loved ones there would help me fight against evil (and it will). I got sick, not sick enough to lay in bed all the time, but too sick to work, and Monday morning when Poppy called up the steps the way he did, I felt as if (as I told Georgie) for a quarter I would go away.

Don't worry about me Mattie, it might have been worse. Forgive me. God bless you. Good-bye. Your loving brother, Stevie. January 15, 1887 Dear Father: I suppose you are looking for an answer from me before this. I have been up to Roaring Branch and just got back on the 13th. Joey was about to send your letter to me. I don't think I lost much of a job at the Hotel either. I think I am too much afraid of being imposed upon because if anybody does the least thing out of the road, it seems hard for me to let it go without paying them back for it. Of course its a wrong...., but I don't know I must be proud I guess. I am very glad to hear you are better. Are you working yet? I started away from here on the 4th to hunt for work up there, but I believe its taken more experienced men for lumbering this time of the year, as it is pretty dangerous. I did help saw and split some wood at Thomacer, but that's not the kind of work I mean is and that only lasted a day or two. I suppose Georgie told you about how the place is. I liked the weather there a great deal better than here. I walked from Roaring Branch to Trout Run on Monday afternoon, about 15 miles. At Trout Run I heard of a man in from Texas who was gathering some young fellows together to take out there for herding cattle. I wanted to see him and waited there until Wednesday, when I started away and seen he was on the same train I was. I spoke to him about it at Willimsport. His offer is pretty good if he is honest. He says: I pay him $10 down for my fare from Lock Haven to Texas, where I could work the other $10 out when I am free to go where I please or pay the full $20 down at once and leave anytime. He says though he don't want the money but wants the man. He furnishes rifle, revolver, buckskin suit, pony saddle and bridle and says if I don't like the country he would send me back free of charge. Offers $40 a month and board at first, afterward, between that and $75. He says its not as much danger out there as some people make it out to be and that there is more danger in straying off with the herd, getting lost on the Prairie and meeting with Indians. They would rob you but would not hurt you. He says he wants fellows that don't drink nor swear, etc. Honest, sober, industrious young men. The man may be honest and all that, but it's risky business. I walked from Williamsport to .... with him. There I gave him 25 cents to telegraph to me at Pottersville to know if he had enough men. He took it and invited me over to a restaurant where we each had a plate of Oysters. We come from there to Northumberland where he paid for my night's lodging and my breakfast. We went to Church that night there. He asked me to go, he offered to buy me an overcoat if I wanted on and when I left him, offered me money if I hadn't enough. He said he would telegraph to me yesterday, but I rec'd none yet. Maybe he intends to come here if he does and Joey likes him, I may go. I would have liked to talked to you about it and liked you to see him. He gives his name as George W. Wilson, Harrisonville, Harrison Co., Texas. Says he was a Preacher but had to give it up on account of his health. I doubt whether I'll ever see him again. I think he is either honest or else playing a very deep game. I intend to start for Nebraska in two or three weeks if nothing happens and I have the money. I would like to see you all first, but I can't trust myself home. when I go home, I want to stay there. When I was up at .... I seen an Electric Battery and thinking you may be interested in it, I will try to give you a description of it. the old man said he made it about 60 years ago when he was 20 years old (a little drawing is there). Now I don't know what they are but I'l given them as I suppose: 1 \u0026amp; 5 cloth \u0026amp; for friction. 2: glass cylinder. 3: conductors. 4: crank. Then he have different little things such as showing the effect of lightening rods in lightening. Good by. Your loving son Stevie. Tell Tommy to write. April 25, 1889 - To Mr. Henry M. Stanley, Zanzibar, Africa. Dear Sir: I hope you will excuse the liberty I take in writing this way to an entire stranger. If I am not mistaken, you know what this country is in regards to wages, etc. I understand you used to live hereabouts. Wages and work here is cut \u0026amp; dried and seems to be little chance for a poor young man. He must work hard and steady and he will not get a sum of money layed up until late in life (perhaps too late to enjoy it) indeed he will be lucky if he ever lays enough up to retire. And to one craving adventure now and then, this sort of life continually is all the harder. There is not enough adventure of the kind I like around here to find out what there is in me, there may be very little in me for all I know. If one could by a mighty burst of pluck, skill, daring and strength gain both his fame and fortune, I would like to be that person. I would not want to forsake this country, not even for 5 or 10 years, unless I was sure of coming back rich or at least well fixed. I am poor as I have hinted. I have not enough money to come there, if I was sure of prospering. Is there business chances in that country that would satisfy me? What do you pay your men on an expedition? What chances for getting a fortune are there? I don't want you to think any boyish novel-reading fancy induced me to write to you. If the outlook over there over-balances the circumstances here, my intentions are to come when I can. Your sincere well wishes....\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eJune 19, 1890 - This afternoon we did not have work at the brickyard on account of fixing the rolle.

This afternoon, I took a walk down around the Circus grounds at Franklin Avenue and then to the river to Camp grounds where they expected to have a game of ball, but no one was there. I went out o he brikyard, there was game between Norristown and Cooling. Norristown beat them 8 to 4. Joe Hartman pitched for Norristown. He seems to have luck. He had a good many strike outs, yet he appears to play a poor game. August 11, 1891 - Mattie came home last night. There was some excitement across the way last night at Wolfingers. Mr. Wofinger is a conductor on the railway and I believe does not get home till after 12 at night.

In going away I done what I thought was for the best. I hope I done right. You know what disagreeable things happened with Poppy and myself sometimes. Wasn't it best that that should be stopped. Did you know how everything seemed to go wrong with me making me dissatisfied, discouraging and sometimes driving me about to desperation. You know how I got to using bad words. That wasn't the worse. I got to swearing. I done wrong and I knew it, but when I was mad I didn't care much for that. I felt myself growing worse and worse. And I do believe that if I stayed there until I finished my trade and if everything went on at the rate it has been going, I would have become a drunkard or something equally bad. I thought if I would get away, the thought of home and loved ones there would help me fight against evil (and it will).

In going away I done what I thought was for the best. I hope I done right. You know what disagreeable things happened with Poppy and myself sometimes. Wasn't it best that that should be stopped. Did you know how everything seemed to go wrong with me making me dissatisfied, discouraging and sometimes driving me about to desperation. You know how I got to using bad words. That wasn't the worse. I got to swearing. I done wrong and I knew it, but when I was mad I didn't care much for that. I felt myself growing worse and worse. And I do believe that if I stayed there until I finished my trade and if everything went on at the rate it has been going, I would have become a drunkard or something equally bad. I thought if I would get away, the thought of home and loved ones there would help me fight against evil (and it will). I got sick, not sick enough to lay in bed all the time, but too sick to work, and Monday morning when Poppy called up the steps the way he did, I felt as if (as I told Georgie) for a quarter I would go away. Can you imagine the torture I went through the rest of the week. I didn't make up my mind to go until Saturday and even then I didn't know I would go until I was off. And now it is done. Don't worry about me Mattie, it might have been worse. Forgive me. God bless you. Good-bye. Your loving brother, Stevie. January 15, 1887 Dear Father: I suppose you are looking for an answer from me before this. I have been up to Roaring Branch and just got back on the 13th. Joey was about to send your letter to me. I don't think I lost much of a job at the Hotel either. I think I am too much afraid of being imposed upon because if anybody does the least thing out of the road, it seems hard for me to let it go without paying them back for it. Of course its a wrong...., but I don't know I must be proud I guess. I am very glad to hear you are better. Are you working yet? I started away from here on the 4th to hunt for work up there, but I believe its taken more experienced men for lumbering this time of the year, as it is pretty dangerous. I did help saw and split some wood at Thomacer, but that's not the kind of work I mean is and that only lasted a day or two. I suppose Georgie told you about how the place is. I liked the weather there a great deal better than here. I walked from Roaring Branch to Trout Run on Monday afternoon, about 15 miles. At Trout Run I heard of a man in from Texas who was gathering some young fellows together to take out there for herding cattle. I wanted to see him and waited there until Wednesday, when I started away and seen he was on the same train I was. I spoke to him about it at Willimsport. His offer is pretty good if he is honest. He says: I pay him $10 down for my fare from Lock Haven to Texas, where I could work the other $10 out when I am free to go where I please or pay the full $20 down at once and leave anytime. He says though he don't want the money but wants the man. He furnishes rifle, revolver, buckskin suit, pony saddle and bridle and says if I don't like the country he would send me back free of charge. Offers $40 a month and board at first, afterward, between that and $75. He says its not as much danger out there as some people make it out to be and that there is more danger in straying off with the herd, getting lost on the Prairie and meeting with Indians. They would rob you but would not hurt you. He says he wants fellows that don't drink nor swear, etc. Honest, sober, industrious young men. The man may be honest and all that, but it's risky business. I walked from Williamsport to .... with him. There I gave him 25 cents to telegraph to me at Pottersville to know if he had enough men. He took it and invited me over to a restaurant where we each had a plate of Oysters. We come from there to Northumberland where he paid for my night's lodging and my breakfast. We went to Church that night there. He asked me to go, he offered to buy me an overcoat if I wanted on and when I left him, offered me money if I hadn't enough. He said he would telegraph to me yesterday, but I rec'd none yet. Maybe he intends to come here if he does and Joey likes him, I may go. I would have liked to talked to you about it and liked you to see him. He gives his name as George W. Wilson, Harrisonville, Harrison Co., Texas. Says he was a Preacher but had to give it up on account of his health. I doubt whether I'll ever see him again. I think he is either honest or else playing a very deep game. I intend to start for Nebraska in two or three weeks if nothing happens and I have the money. I would like to see you all first, but I can't trust myself home. when I go home, I want to stay there. When I was up at .... I seen an Electric Battery and thinking you may be interested in it, I will try to give you a description of it. the old man said he made it about 60 years ago when he was 20 years old (a little drawing is there). Now I don't know what they are but I'l given them as I suppose: 1 \u0026 5 cloth \u0026 for friction. 2: glass cylinder. 3: conductors. 4: crank. Then he have different little things such as showing the effect of lightening rods in lightening. Good by. Your loving son Stevie. Tell Tommy to write. April 25, 1889 - To Mr. Henry M. Stanley, Zanzibar, Africa. Dear Sir: I hope you will excuse the liberty I take in writing this way to an entire stranger. If I am not mistaken, you know what this country is in regards to wages, etc. I understand you used to live hereabouts. Wages and work here is cut \u0026 dried and seems to be little chance for a poor young man. He must work hard and steady and he will not get a sum of money layed up until late in life (perhaps too late to enjoy it) indeed he will be lucky if he ever lays enough up to retire. And to one craving adventure now and then, this sort of life continually is all the harder. There is not enough adventure of the kind I like around here to find out what there is in me, there may be very little in me for all I know. If one could by a mighty burst of pluck, skill, daring and strength gain both his fame and fortune, I would like to be that person. I would not want to forsake this country, not even for 5 or 10 years, unless I was sure of coming back rich or at least well fixed. I am poor as I have hinted. I have not enough money to come there, if I was sure of prospering. Is there business chances in that country that would satisfy me? What do you pay your men on an expedition? What chances for getting a fortune are there? I don't want you to think any boyish novel-reading fancy induced me to write to you. If the outlook over there over-balances the circumstances here, my intentions are to come when I can. Your sincere well wishes....\"","June 19, 1890 - This afternoon we did not have work at the brickyard on account of fixing the rolle. Today there was a reunion of some of America at Valley Forge. I walked up there this afternoon. September 8th - This morning, Tommy, Ed Beidman and I went out to the Globe Park ball grounds, where we had a game of Kock-out. Elmer playing with us for awhile. This afternoon, Cora and Edie and Ed Beidmann, John Fretz, Tommy and I went out boating. We went to Catfish Dam. Had a pleasant time. The water and weather was clear and pleasant.

May 17 - There was Circus in town yesterday. It was Robbin's Circus. It didn't seem to be much account. They had no street parade. They had a few free exhibitions.

I went out o he brikyard, there was game between Norristown and Cooling. Norristown beat them 8 to 4. Joe Hartman pitched for Norristown. He seems to have luck. He had a good many strike outs, yet he appears to play a poor game. August 11, 1891 - Mattie came home last night. There was some excitement across the way last night at Wolfingers. Mr. Wofinger is a conductor on the railway and I believe does not get home till after 12 at night. Somewhere around 11 Mrs. Woflinger discovered a man in her room she thought it was her husband and went to get a light to see, when the man grabbed her and choked her and after quite a tussle he escaped. Jan 28, 1893 - Yesterday afternoon I was down to the gym. They are trying to organize a baseball team for next season and want George, Tommy and I to join it.
