The 1900 Pocket Diary belonging to a young woman named Flora Blanche Chandler 1881-1962 of Hampton NY. Blanche as she was known is a prolific writer taking up every line on the page and squishing extra information into the margins. She writes daily filling the journal with the record of her life. Waking early often at seven or earlier her days are generally made up of a series of household chores she undertakes with her mother such as cooking sweeping and laundry. Her entries are detailed such as almost always noting the weather listing the exact about of doughnuts or pies she baked how long she practiced piano or what sewing work she did that day. At times she also helps her younger brother Spencer with his schoolwork. Blanche often writes of her friends and family visiting particularly her recently married elder sister Grace and her husband Harry. As Hampton NY is right on the border to Vermont Blanche and her family and friends often travel to several different Vermont towns such as Fair Haven and Rutland. <br /> At the end of the diary there are several pages of memoranda which are filled with extra entries from a few days when she could not fit all she needed to record on the date’s designated page. In this same section is also a page which lists the dates of her father’s Fred and brother’s Spencer deaths in 1919 and 1915 respectively. Lastly there are several pages of records of the letters Blanche wrote and received as well as her purchases for the year such as "two yards of dress cloth" and a bicycle.
