| Description |
The diary of Sarah Thatcher includes irregular entries from 1878 to 1887. Only 44 pages of the 177 page ledger book are filled with diary entries. On the five succeeding pages there are several items posted to the pages. These are: a certificate of proficiency in the Tonic Sol'Fa Method of singing dated February 12, 1864; an undated sheet of paper labeled "Flour Acct;" a newspaper clipping (undated) entitled "Easter Thoughts Turn From Vain Things to the Eternal Verities;" a newspaper clipping (undated) describing the International Council of Women held in Washington, D. C. in 1888; two newspaper clippings (undated) on home remedies; and a handwritten account of hours worked and pay due (source and date unknown). Sarah's diary is a short but dramatic record of the torment and deprivation of a polygamous marriage. |
