Hi Susan: What an interesting idea to post these entries on comparable days. I remember seeing the Archives Alive video with you reading someone’s diary–have forgotten whose. Looking at the portraits above and the death dates of Louis and Remsen, I get this sinking feeling as this mother writes happily about her family, not knowing that two of the children will die in their early twenties. I guess it was common enough in those days, and indeed her brothers and sisters include several who died fairly young. Susie
Susie, I have been transcribing Julia’s diaries for more than eleven years now. I’m impressed that you remembered the Archives Alive video, and yes, I was reading from her diary. I hope to post a section of that video in the near future.
It is difficult at times to transcribe, since I can foresee Julia’s future. You are correct in that Julia will suffer great losses. She documents both of her sons last months, even their last words. It is so moving. I cried the entire time I was transcribing. You, too, have read about great losses in the 19th century letters of your family, especially Johannes and Peter Lefevre’s untimely deaths.
Hi Susan, Did Remson Hasbrouck enlist or serve in the Civil War before he became ill? Thanks!
Remsen did not enlist in the army. Surprisingly, there is little mention of the Civil War at all in Julia’s diaries.
