D. M. Stetler This is a transcript of my Great-Grandmother's dairy from January 1, 1918 to April 20, 1924. She lived most of her life in McClure, PA in Snyder County and my Great-Grandfather was a railroad man on the local railroad that ran through the valley. Her dairy was written in pencil on small railroad books. Some of the pencil writings have faded over the years as this diary was transcribed in June and July of 1995. Also, some names and entries could not be ascertained and blanks were left for these entries. Some dates do not have entries as the end of her life was filled with medical problems. But this dairy shows life is a small rural town in Central PA, where life in the 1910 to 1920's revolved around the church and family. Alan G. Peters 610 E.
