They had four children, but only two survived into adulthood - Ezra M. Minnick Jr. (1890-1973) and Millard B. Minnick (1902-1979). Minnick was engaged in farming as his primary occupation, but was also appointed fertilizer inspector for the 7th Congressional District in March 1900. By 1910, Minnick was listed in the federal census as a merchant of farm implements, but eventually went back to farming exclusively. Minnick was an active member of the Lutheran church, specifically Rader's Lutheran Church on the outskirts of Timberville. He served his local congregation in many leadership capacities as a member of the executive committee and secretary of the church council. Minnick was also elected corresponding secretary of the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod at the annual convention in August 1902. He is buried in Rader's Lutheran Church Cemetery.","Per the minutes of the November 13, 2014 and February 12, 2015 Timberville town council meetings, Beverly Garber, town historian, acquired historic documents from the Minnick family, including two diaries, through Ebay.","The Ezra M.

Murphy's Sons Stationers in Philadelphia, includes printed calendars, moon cycles, information on domestic and foreign currency, interest tables, and \"valuable information for business men.\" Minnick completed diary entries for each day in 1900. On most days Minnick travelled into the town of Timberville to conduct business. He commented daily on weather patterns, made regular mentions of visitors to his home and visiting he did, described his weekly church attendance, local deaths, marriages, other major community happenings including court days. He discussed his interactions with community members including Jonathan Calhoun, Casper Tussing, William J. Arehart, and Peter J. Knupp.","After Minnick was appointed to fertilizer inspector of the 7th District in March 1900, many of his diary entries discuss his duties and responsibilities related to that position. For example, on Wednesday, May 23, 1900 Minnick was \"This morning in Winchester at the Taylor House...then went about the place to see the different Fertilizer agents as to how much fertilizer they had received.\" Entries also include meetings with George B. Keezell (1854-1931), member of the Virginia Senate, and George W. Koiner (1852-1939), commissioner of agriculture in Virginia. Minnick made frequent mentions of his son Ezra Jr., wife Joanna, and 16-year-old live-in servant Mamie in his diary entries.","Other entries of note include:","Tuesday, January 9, 1900 - \"Went to Mt.

Frenger Diary and Account Book, 1880-1892, bulk 1881-1884, consists of one ledger of 180 pages and two loose newspaper clippings. The ledger documents household and farm expenses and also includes periodic diary entries (generally written on a semiweekly basis). Various newspaper clippings are pasted to the front inside cover and flyleaf. Topics include home remedies and political news. Also included are two loose newspapers clippings concerning a death of Juette Larett and a new fencing regulation put into place in Virginia. These clippings have been removed from the ledger and foldered separately.","The accounting portion of the ledger concerns Frenger's household and farm expenses (payment of fire insurance policy, tobacco, medicine, and axle grease) and receipts for goods sold (produce sold at store, bacon sold, and beef sold to butcher).","Frenger's periodic entries primarily document the weather and general farm activities including planting, harvesting, and the overall condition of the farm. He records his church attendance, social visits, and travels to surrounding communities. Frenger also comments on local deaths and general town gossip. Many entries conclude with \"No News.\"","Of particular interest are Frenger's extensive accounts of the assassination attempt and eventual death of President James A. Garfield. He writes on July 3, 1881 of the assassination (attempt) of Garfield: \"Special Sad News: President Garfield was Assassinated yesterday in Washington yesterday just as he was boarding the cars by a man by the name of Grottoe [sic]. Mr. Garfield is my special friend and his sad end I can hardly bear. Tears do Flow when I think of the Great and Good man. May God Take care of him is my Hearts desire.\" Frenger writes on July 10, 1881, presumably after the news had reached August County, that President Garfield had been shot and only wounded: \"I am Truly Happy to Record the fact that President Garfield is Improving and is likely to Recover.\" However, Frenger's August 21, 1881 entry describes the inevitable: \"President Garfield is growing Worse I fear he will Die.\" He continues to write about President Garfield throughout September 1881 and concludes with a heartfelt entry on September 25: \"I am Sorry beyond Expression to note the Death of our venerable President James Abram Garfield which occurred at Long Branch on last Monday night at 10:35 P.M.\" Finally, Frenger mentions on July 2, 1882 that Guiteau, Garfield's assassin, was hung the week prior.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

The Sprinkel family homestead was located on the corner of Main and Rock streets. The local African-American church and school were located in this the same section of town, suggesting why Jordan mentions the deaths of several local African Americans in her 1879 diary. The 1879 diary also contains mentions of her granddaughters, \"Mag\" (Margaret) and Mary. Jordan is buried at Woodbine Cemetery in Harrisonburg.","The 1862-1864 diary was part of the private collection of Maxine and E.R. Grymes Heneberger of Harrisonburg, Virginia. Grymes Heneberger found the diary in 1960 and had it transcribed. He self-published a small run of copies which he offered for sale and distributed to local libraries.","The 1879-1883 diary was part of the Harrison family estate of Harrisonburg, Virginia.","While the 1862-1864 diary does not include any explicit identifying information about the creator, contextual information confirms it was  written by Mary Jordan of Harrisonburg, Virginia. Both December 5 entries in the diary (1862 and 1863) record Jordan's exact birthday and year. This corresponds to the birth year recorded in the 1879-1883 diary. Additionally, the handwriting in present in both diaries matches as does the scribbling used to separate diary entries.","In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in 2017-2018. This collection was previously cataloged as SC 4025.","The collection is comprised of two bound diaries kept by Mary Jordan of Harrisonburg.","The first diary dates from May 9, 1862 through August 22, 1864. Jordan's entries describe the death of Turner Ashby (\"Col. Ashby was killed this evening. Poor Ashby poor fellow\"), the Battle of New Market and other battles of note, troop and prisoner movements through Harrisonburg, death and burials of local soldiers, and Union soldiers movements. Additional entries of note include May 7, 1863: \"The Yankee's advanceing great excitement in Town and Country people moveing cattle and negroes and all the commisary stores there was never so much confusion in this place before.\"","Names of Charles Frank Echard (1870-1941) family members are penciled in the diary and post-date Mary Jordan's entries. Echard was married to Maude Jordan Dillard, Mary Jordan's great granddaughter.","The second diary dates from January 1, 1879 until October 1879, and also includes scattered entries through 1883. The diary entries are brief and record the weather, daily activities such as church attendance, visits from relatives and friends, travel of relatives to Baltimore, and getting loads of wood and barrels of flour. Occasional items of local news are also mentioned, such as court dates, trials, births, marriages, and deaths, including the deaths of several African Americans living in Harrisonburg in 1879 (\"Sunday January the 26th 1879 A coulered woman buried this evening\").","On the first page is written: \"Mary Jordan born in 17 hundred and 98 and this is 1879 I am still here.\" Family names mentioned in the diary include Sprinkel, Dillard, Bowman, Rohr, Wilton, and Dwyer, among others.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collection Library.
