","Waitman Thomas Willey, West Virginia pioneer, lawyer, Methodist churchman, and United States Senator, was born October 18, 1811, at Buffalo Creek, Virginia (near Fairmont in Marion County, West Virginia), the son of William Willey, Jr., former Revolutionary War soldier under General Anthony Wayne, and Sarah Barnes, a member of a prominent family of northwestern Virginia.","Willey's first twelve years were spent at Buffalo Creek where his father's farm was a frontier homestead isolated from the few towns in the area. In 1823, the family (which now included stepmother, Mary McCormack Willey) moved to a farm on the Monongahela River in Monongalia County near present-day Rivesville. Here, Willey received a rudimentary formal education with readings from the classics and the Bible.","In 1827, Willey walked the forty miles from his home to Uniontown, Pennsylvania to attend Madison College (later Allegheny College) where he excelled in classical studies and mathematics. After three and one half years he received a B.A. degree, and then read law in the office of Philip Doddridge and John Campbell in Wellsburg, Brooke County, Virginia. He was admitted to the bar in 1833; in addition, he received an M.A. degree from Augusta College in Kentucky in 1834.","Willey settled in Morgantown, Monongalia County, Virginia, in 1832, with his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Patrick Ray, a prominent citizen of Morgantown who was Clerk of the Court and a founder of the Morgantown Female Academy (to which he gave his home). The Willey family subsequently included seven children: Mary Ellen, wife of Dr. M.L. Casselberry of Morgantown; Sarah Barnes, wife of J. Marshall Hagans, distinguished judge; William Patrick, professor of law at West Virginia University; Julia, wife of Major William McGrew, Union Army officer, West Virginia state senator, and Morgantown banker; Thomas Ray, United States government clerk in the Interior Department; Louisa, unmarried, who remained at home; and John Byrne, deputy clerk of Monongalia County.","Waitman T. Willey maintained a successful and lucrative law practice in Morgantown for 67 years. He served as Monongalia County Clerk and clerk of the Circuit Superior Court from 1841 to 1852, and was Morgantown's first Superintendent of Schools. Willey had an early interest in politics and was an active member of the conservative Whig Party: he served as an elector for the Harrison-Tyler election of 1840, was an unsuccessful Whig candidate for Congress in 1852, an unsuccessful Opposition (Whig Party) candidate for Lt. Governor of Virginia in 1859, and a delegate to the Constitutional Union Party convention which nominated Bell and Everett for President and Vice President in 1860. In 1850, Willey had been a delegate to the Virginia Constitutional Convention where he championed western Virginia interests, white manhood suffrage, and governmental reforms. Again, in 1861, he was a delegate to the Virginia Convention that voted for secession (Willey voted against it). In the subsequent, Pro-Union, reorganized legislature (the \"Restored Government of Virginia at Wheeling\"), Willey was elected to Congress to complete the term of James M. Mason for two years. While in the Senate, Willey actively introduced legislation to admit West Virginia into the Union. The Reorganized Government proposed a new state Constitution that Willey supported in Congress in 1862. Following revision of the proposal to include emancipation of slaves and a favorable referendum by the West Virginia voters, statehood was achieved in 1863.","Willey returned to the Senate in 1863 and was elected to the full six-year term in 1865. During his tenure, he initially opposed Republican lawmakers over issues involving the war, confiscation of rebel property, and slavery. But because of his \"ardent support\" of the Union, Willey's political views evolved through the years to support Republican aims, including national emancipation of slaves and disenfranchisement of disloyal citizens. He considered the latter appropriate in order to keep \"southern sympathizers\" from gaining control of West Virginia and perhaps reuniting the state with Virginia. Although Willey was aligned with conservative Republicans in the Senate, he did vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Reconstruction Acts, the removal of President Johnson, and the 14th and 15th Amendments. He opposed the Freedman's Bureau and the Enforcement Acts of 1870. Many in West Virginia opposed Republican Party policies, and in 1870 the party lost control of state government. Willey left the Senate in 1871 and returned to his Morgantown law practice and the County Clerkship (1882-1890).","Willey remained active in politics throughout his later life. He served in the 1872 State Constitutional Convention and supported Republican Party policies and candidates, and was chairman of the West Virginia delegation to the GOP National Convention in 1876. He also continued his active service in the Methodist Church where he was an advocate for lay participation in the national conference and served as delegate from West Virginia in 1880. Willey was much in demand as a public speaker throughout his life -- he was called, \"old man eloquent\" -- because of his commanding appearance, \"thrilling\" voice, evident sincerity, and knowledge. He spoke frequently on Temperance, Methodist beliefs, politics, the classics, and history. He collected a large library, wrote numerous articles and a biography of Philip Doddridge. He received several honorary degrees, including LLD from Allegheny College and West Virginia University. Willey's last public appearance was at the funeral of Governor Pierpont when he gave a \"stirring\" eulogy. He was 88 years of age.","Waitman T. Willey, \"Grand Old Man of West Virginia,\" died May 2, 1900, at his home, Chancery Hill, in Morgantown. His funeral was the largest ever held in Morgantown to that time. He was interred in Oak Grove Cemetery.","Notes:\n1. In June, 1861, Willey was not present at the second convention in Wheeling at which the Reorganized Government of Virginia was established in preparation for statehood. His father and stepmother were fatally ill at the time and he was at home.","2. Willey never wrote a history of the statehood deliberations, politics, or conventions. He felt he was too biased to do justice to the history. No history was ever written by the participants.","Bibliography:\n1.

The letters can be divided into four major categories: politics; governmental service and the Civil War; family and church affairs; and law and business activities. Willey wrote the name of the correspondent and the date on each letter. ","The letters have been previously divided into \"copied\" (Series 1a.) and \"not copied\" (Series 1b.) categories; the former refers to a select number of the letters for which transcripts were made, apparently in connection with research by Ambler for his biography of Willey. These transcripts are filed in the Charles H. Ambler Collection (A\u0026M 122, boxes 10-12). In general, the \"copied\" letters are more pertinent to Willey's political career, especially his senate tenure during the Civil War, and his Methodist Church activities. Although the \"not copied\" letters also include material regarding his political and church activities, they are more concerned with his law and business interests, and family and friends.  \n\"Copied\" (transcribed) letters are found in boxes 1 through 4, are numbered 1 through 1181, and date from 1833 to 1898. ","\"Not copied\" (not transcribed) letters are found in boxes 4 through 16, are numbered 1182 through 7008, and date from 1833 to 1900. ","The incoming letters encompass a variety of topics: ","Everyday life in rural United States in the 19th Century (e.g., West Virginia); life in newly developed urban centers (e.g., St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.); political life before the Civil War in Virginia and later in West Virginia; the plight of citizens and communities resulting from war (e.g., battle casualties and damage, reparation requests, loyalty \"disabilities\"); new territories and foreign countries visited by Willey's correspondents (e.g., the Western Territories of the USA, China, Japan, Central America, and Australia in the 1860s); the Methodist Church, temperance movement, school activities and needs (e.g., those of his sons and of the early years of West Virginia University).

Willey (WTW). The letters can be divided into four major categories: politics; governmental service and the Civil War; family and church affairs; and law and business activities. Willey wrote the name of the correspondent and the date on each letter. ","The letters have been previously divided into \"copied\" (Series 1a.) and \"not copied\" (Series 1b.) categories; the former refers to a select number of the letters for which transcripts were made, apparently in connection with research by Ambler for his biography of Willey. These transcripts are filed in the Charles H. Ambler Collection (A\u0026M 122, boxes 10-12). In general, the \"copied\" letters are more pertinent to Willey's political career, especially his senate tenure during the Civil War, and his Methodist Church activities. Although the \"not copied\" letters also include material regarding his political and church activities, they are more concerned with his law and business interests, and family and friends.  \n\"Copied\" (transcribed) letters are found in boxes 1 through 4, are numbered 1 through 1181, and date from 1833 to 1898. ","\"Not copied\" (not transcribed) letters are found in boxes 4 through 16, are numbered 1182 through 7008, and date from 1833 to 1900. ","The incoming letters encompass a variety of topics: ","Everyday life in rural United States in the 19th Century (e.g., West Virginia); life in newly developed urban centers (e.g., St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.); political life before the Civil War in Virginia and later in West Virginia; the plight of citizens and communities resulting from war (e.g., battle casualties and damage, reparation requests, loyalty \"disabilities\"); new territories and foreign countries visited by Willey's correspondents (e.g., the Western Territories of the USA, China, Japan, Central America, and Australia in the 1860s); the Methodist Church, temperance movement, school activities and needs (e.g., those of his sons and of the early years of West Virginia University). ","The letters represent the opinions, observations, requests, and activities of Willey's correspondents, and Willey himself is seen only through their writings. Willey's thoughts and commentaries can be found in his two-volume diary (see Series 4, W.T. Willey's Diary, boxes 21-22). ","Selected correspondents include:","Robert Anderson;  \nW.W.

In 1823, the family (which now included stepmother, Mary McCormack Willey) moved to a farm on the Monongahela River in Monongalia County near present-day Rivesville. Here, Willey received a rudimentary formal education with readings from the classics and the Bible.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIn 1827, Willey walked the forty miles from his home to Uniontown, Pennsylvania to attend Madison College (later Allegheny College) where he excelled in classical studies and mathematics. After three and one half years he received a B.A. degree, and then read law in the office of Philip Doddridge and John Campbell in Wellsburg, Brooke County, Virginia.

The Willey family subsequently included seven children: Mary Ellen, wife of Dr. M.L. Casselberry of Morgantown; Sarah Barnes, wife of J. Marshall Hagans, distinguished judge; William Patrick, professor of law at West Virginia University; Julia, wife of Major William McGrew, Union Army officer, West Virginia state senator, and Morgantown banker; Thomas Ray, United States government clerk in the Interior Department; Louisa, unmarried, who remained at home; and John Byrne, deputy clerk of Monongalia County.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWaitman T. Willey maintained a successful and lucrative law practice in Morgantown for 67 years. He served as Monongalia County Clerk and clerk of the Circuit Superior Court from 1841 to 1852, and was Morgantown's first Superintendent of Schools. Willey had an early interest in politics and was an active member of the conservative Whig Party: he served as an elector for the Harrison-Tyler election of 1840, was an unsuccessful Whig candidate for Congress in 1852, an unsuccessful Opposition (Whig Party) candidate for Lt. Governor of Virginia in 1859, and a delegate to the Constitutional Union Party convention which nominated Bell and Everett for President and Vice President in 1860. In 1850, Willey had been a delegate to the Virginia Constitutional Convention where he championed western Virginia interests, white manhood suffrage, and governmental reforms. Again, in 1861, he was a delegate to the Virginia Convention that voted for secession (Willey voted against it). In the subsequent, Pro-Union, reorganized legislature (the \"Restored Government of Virginia at Wheeling\"), Willey was elected to Congress to complete the term of James M. Mason for two years. While in the Senate, Willey actively introduced legislation to admit West Virginia into the Union. The Reorganized Government proposed a new state Constitution that Willey supported in Congress in 1862.

But because of his \"ardent support\" of the Union, Willey's political views evolved through the years to support Republican aims, including national emancipation of slaves and disenfranchisement of disloyal citizens. He considered the latter appropriate in order to keep \"southern sympathizers\" from gaining control of West Virginia and perhaps reuniting the state with Virginia. Although Willey was aligned with conservative Republicans in the Senate, he did vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Reconstruction Acts, the removal of President Johnson, and the 14th and 15th Amendments. He opposed the Freedman's Bureau and the Enforcement Acts of 1870. Many in West Virginia opposed Republican Party policies, and in 1870 the party lost control of state government.

He also continued his active service in the Methodist Church where he was an advocate for lay participation in the national conference and served as delegate from West Virginia in 1880. Willey was much in demand as a public speaker throughout his life -- he was called, \"old man eloquent\" -- because of his commanding appearance, \"thrilling\" voice, evident sincerity, and knowledge. He spoke frequently on Temperance, Methodist beliefs, politics, the classics, and history. He collected a large library, wrote numerous articles and a biography of Philip Doddridge. He received several honorary degrees, including LLD from Allegheny College and West Virginia University.

Willey (1811-1900), lawyer, senator, and founding father of West Virginia. A resident of Monongalia County, Willey was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1850, the Secession Convention of 1861, the First Wheeling Convention of 1861, and the Constitutional Convention of 1871. He was U.S. Senator from the Restored Government of Virginia (1861-1863) and Senator from West Virginia (1863-1871). Includes several thousand pieces of incoming correspondence to Waitman T. Willey dating from 1833 to 1900 (bulk 1859-1869) concerning political, social, and economic affairs. There is much material on the temperance movement in Virginia (1845-1860), the Civil War, and the statehood movement in West Virginia. Also includes miscellaneous financial records (1837-1869) and legal papers (1820-1856); Willey's diary (entries from 1830-1899, posthumously added clippings through 1908); and other material.","Series include:","Series 1a.

Miscellaneous, 1827-1917, undated, box 22 and unboxed","This series includes letters written to Waitman T. Willey (WTW). The letters can be divided into four major categories: politics; governmental service and the Civil War; family and church affairs; and law and business activities. Willey wrote the name of the correspondent and the date on each letter. ","The letters have been previously divided into \"copied\" (Series 1a.) and \"not copied\" (Series 1b.) categories; the former refers to a select number of the letters for which transcripts were made, apparently in connection with research by Ambler for his biography of Willey. These transcripts are filed in the Charles H. Ambler Collection (A\u0026M 122, boxes 10-12). In general, the \"copied\" letters are more pertinent to Willey's political career, especially his senate tenure during the Civil War, and his Methodist Church activities. Although the \"not copied\" letters also include material regarding his political and church activities, they are more concerned with his law and business interests, and family and friends.  \n\"Copied\" (transcribed) letters are found in boxes 1 through 4, are numbered 1 through 1181, and date from 1833 to 1898. ","\"Not copied\" (not transcribed) letters are found in boxes 4 through 16, are numbered 1182 through 7008, and date from 1833 to 1900. ","The incoming letters encompass a variety of topics: ","Everyday life in rural United States in the 19th Century (e.g., West Virginia); life in newly developed urban centers (e.g., St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.); political life before the Civil War in Virginia and later in West Virginia; the plight of citizens and communities resulting from war (e.g., battle casualties and damage, reparation requests, loyalty \"disabilities\"); new territories and foreign countries visited by Willey's correspondents (e.g., the Western Territories of the USA, China, Japan, Central America, and Australia in the 1860s); the Methodist Church, temperance movement, school activities and needs (e.g., those of his sons and of the early years of West Virginia University). ","The letters represent the opinions, observations, requests, and activities of Willey's correspondents, and Willey himself is seen only through their writings. Willey's thoughts and commentaries can be found in his two-volume diary (see Series 4, W.T. Willey's Diary, boxes 21-22). ","Selected correspondents include:","Robert Anderson;  \nW.W.

Willey (WTW). The letters can be divided into four major categories: politics; governmental service and the Civil War; family and church affairs; and law and business activities. Willey wrote the name of the correspondent and the date on each letter. ","The letters have been previously divided into \"copied\" (Series 1a.) and \"not copied\" (Series 1b.) categories; the former refers to a select number of the letters for which transcripts were made, apparently in connection with research by Ambler for his biography of Willey. These transcripts are filed in the Charles H. Ambler Collection (A\u0026M 122, boxes 10-12). In general, the \"copied\" letters are more pertinent to Willey's political career, especially his senate tenure during the Civil War, and his Methodist Church activities. Although the \"not copied\" letters also include material regarding his political and church activities, they are more concerned with his law and business interests, and family and friends.  \n\"Copied\" (transcribed) letters are found in boxes 1 through 4, are numbered 1 through 1181, and date from 1833 to 1898. ","\"Not copied\" (not transcribed) letters are found in boxes 4 through 16, are numbered 1182 through 7008, and date from 1833 to 1900. ","The incoming letters encompass a variety of topics: ","Everyday life in rural United States in the 19th Century (e.g., West Virginia); life in newly developed urban centers (e.g., St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.); political life before the Civil War in Virginia and later in West Virginia; the plight of citizens and communities resulting from war (e.g., battle casualties and damage, reparation requests, loyalty \"disabilities\"); new territories and foreign countries visited by Willey's correspondents (e.g., the Western Territories of the USA, China, Japan, Central America, and Australia in the 1860s); the Methodist Church, temperance movement, school activities and needs (e.g., those of his sons and of the early years of West Virginia University). ","The letters represent the opinions, observations, requests, and activities of Willey's correspondents, and Willey himself is seen only through their writings. Willey's thoughts and commentaries can be found in his two-volume diary (see Series 4, W.T. Willey's Diary, boxes 21-22). ","Selected correspondents include:","Robert Anderson;  \nW.W.

","Waitman Thomas Willey, West Virginia pioneer, lawyer, Methodist churchman, and United States Senator, was born October 18, 1811, at Buffalo Creek, Virginia (near Fairmont in Marion County, West Virginia), the son of William Willey, Jr., former Revolutionary War soldier under General Anthony Wayne, and Sarah Barnes, a member of a prominent family of northwestern Virginia.","Willey's first twelve years were spent at Buffalo Creek where his father's farm was a frontier homestead isolated from the few towns in the area. In 1823, the family (which now included stepmother, Mary McCormack Willey) moved to a farm on the Monongahela River in Monongalia County near present-day Rivesville. Here, Willey received a rudimentary formal education with readings from the classics and the Bible.","In 1827, Willey walked the forty miles from his home to Uniontown, Pennsylvania to attend Madison College (later Allegheny College) where he excelled in classical studies and mathematics. After three and one half years he received a B.A. degree, and then read law in the office of Philip Doddridge and John Campbell in Wellsburg, Brooke County, Virginia. He was admitted to the bar in 1833; in addition, he received an M.A. degree from Augusta College in Kentucky in 1834.","Willey settled in Morgantown, Monongalia County, Virginia, in 1832, with his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Patrick Ray, a prominent citizen of Morgantown who was Clerk of the Court and a founder of the Morgantown Female Academy (to which he gave his home). The Willey family subsequently included seven children: Mary Ellen, wife of Dr. M.L. Casselberry of Morgantown; Sarah Barnes, wife of J. Marshall Hagans, distinguished judge; William Patrick, professor of law at West Virginia University; Julia, wife of Major William McGrew, Union Army officer, West Virginia state senator, and Morgantown banker; Thomas Ray, United States government clerk in the Interior Department; Louisa, unmarried, who remained at home; and John Byrne, deputy clerk of Monongalia County.","Waitman T. Willey maintained a successful and lucrative law practice in Morgantown for 67 years. He served as Monongalia County Clerk and clerk of the Circuit Superior Court from 1841 to 1852, and was Morgantown's first Superintendent of Schools. Willey had an early interest in politics and was an active member of the conservative Whig Party: he served as an elector for the Harrison-Tyler election of 1840, was an unsuccessful Whig candidate for Congress in 1852, an unsuccessful Opposition (Whig Party) candidate for Lt. Governor of Virginia in 1859, and a delegate to the Constitutional Union Party convention which nominated Bell and Everett for President and Vice President in 1860. In 1850, Willey had been a delegate to the Virginia Constitutional Convention where he championed western Virginia interests, white manhood suffrage, and governmental reforms. Again, in 1861, he was a delegate to the Virginia Convention that voted for secession (Willey voted against it). In the subsequent, Pro-Union, reorganized legislature (the \"Restored Government of Virginia at Wheeling\"), Willey was elected to Congress to complete the term of James M. Mason for two years. While in the Senate, Willey actively introduced legislation to admit West Virginia into the Union. The Reorganized Government proposed a new state Constitution that Willey supported in Congress in 1862. Following revision of the proposal to include emancipation of slaves and a favorable referendum by the West Virginia voters, statehood was achieved in 1863.","Willey returned to the Senate in 1863 and was elected to the full six-year term in 1865. During his tenure, he initially opposed Republican lawmakers over issues involving the war, confiscation of rebel property, and slavery. But because of his \"ardent support\" of the Union, Willey's political views evolved through the years to support Republican aims, including national emancipation of slaves and disenfranchisement of disloyal citizens. He considered the latter appropriate in order to keep \"southern sympathizers\" from gaining control of West Virginia and perhaps reuniting the state with Virginia. Although Willey was aligned with conservative Republicans in the Senate, he did vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Reconstruction Acts, the removal of President Johnson, and the 14th and 15th Amendments. He opposed the Freedman's Bureau and the Enforcement Acts of 1870. Many in West Virginia opposed Republican Party policies, and in 1870 the party lost control of state government. Willey left the Senate in 1871 and returned to his Morgantown law practice and the County Clerkship (1882-1890).","Willey remained active in politics throughout his later life. He served in the 1872 State Constitutional Convention and supported Republican Party policies and candidates, and was chairman of the West Virginia delegation to the GOP National Convention in 1876. He also continued his active service in the Methodist Church where he was an advocate for lay participation in the national conference and served as delegate from West Virginia in 1880. Willey was much in demand as a public speaker throughout his life -- he was called, \"old man eloquent\" -- because of his commanding appearance, \"thrilling\" voice, evident sincerity, and knowledge. He spoke frequently on Temperance, Methodist beliefs, politics, the classics, and history. He collected a large library, wrote numerous articles and a biography of Philip Doddridge. He received several honorary degrees, including LLD from Allegheny College and West Virginia University. Willey's last public appearance was at the funeral of Governor Pierpont when he gave a \"stirring\" eulogy. He was 88 years of age.","Waitman T. Willey, \"Grand Old Man of West Virginia,\" died May 2, 1900, at his home, Chancery Hill, in Morgantown. His funeral was the largest ever held in Morgantown to that time. He was interred in Oak Grove Cemetery.","Notes:\n1. In June, 1861, Willey was not present at the second convention in Wheeling at which the Reorganized Government of Virginia was established in preparation for statehood. His father and stepmother were fatally ill at the time and he was at home.","2. Willey never wrote a history of the statehood deliberations, politics, or conventions. He felt he was too biased to do justice to the history. No history was ever written by the participants.","Bibliography:\n1.

The letters can be divided into four major categories: politics; governmental service and the Civil War; family and church affairs; and law and business activities. Willey wrote the name of the correspondent and the date on each letter. ","The letters have been previously divided into \"copied\" (Series 1a.) and \"not copied\" (Series 1b.) categories; the former refers to a select number of the letters for which transcripts were made, apparently in connection with research by Ambler for his biography of Willey. These transcripts are filed in the Charles H. Ambler Collection (A\u0026M 122, boxes 10-12). In general, the \"copied\" letters are more pertinent to Willey's political career, especially his senate tenure during the Civil War, and his Methodist Church activities. Although the \"not copied\" letters also include material regarding his political and church activities, they are more concerned with his law and business interests, and family and friends.  \n\"Copied\" (transcribed) letters are found in boxes 1 through 4, are numbered 1 through 1181, and date from 1833 to 1898. ","\"Not copied\" (not transcribed) letters are found in boxes 4 through 16, are numbered 1182 through 7008, and date from 1833 to 1900. ","The incoming letters encompass a variety of topics: ","Everyday life in rural United States in the 19th Century (e.g., West Virginia); life in newly developed urban centers (e.g., St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.); political life before the Civil War in Virginia and later in West Virginia; the plight of citizens and communities resulting from war (e.g., battle casualties and damage, reparation requests, loyalty \"disabilities\"); new territories and foreign countries visited by Willey's correspondents (e.g., the Western Territories of the USA, China, Japan, Central America, and Australia in the 1860s); the Methodist Church, temperance movement, school activities and needs (e.g., those of his sons and of the early years of West Virginia University). ","The letters represent the opinions, observations, requests, and activities of Willey's correspondents, and Willey himself is seen only through their writings.

Willey (WTW). The letters can be divided into four major categories: politics; governmental service and the Civil War; family and church affairs; and law and business activities. Willey wrote the name of the correspondent and the date on each letter. ","The letters have been previously divided into \"copied\" (Series 1a.) and \"not copied\" (Series 1b.) categories; the former refers to a select number of the letters for which transcripts were made, apparently in connection with research by Ambler for his biography of Willey. These transcripts are filed in the Charles H. Ambler Collection (A\u0026M 122, boxes 10-12). In general, the \"copied\" letters are more pertinent to Willey's political career, especially his senate tenure during the Civil War, and his Methodist Church activities. Although the \"not copied\" letters also include material regarding his political and church activities, they are more concerned with his law and business interests, and family and friends.  \n\"Copied\" (transcribed) letters are found in boxes 1 through 4, are numbered 1 through 1181, and date from 1833 to 1898. ","\"Not copied\" (not transcribed) letters are found in boxes 4 through 16, are numbered 1182 through 7008, and date from 1833 to 1900. ","The incoming letters encompass a variety of topics: ","Everyday life in rural United States in the 19th Century (e.g., West Virginia); life in newly developed urban centers (e.g., St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.); political life before the Civil War in Virginia and later in West Virginia; the plight of citizens and communities resulting from war (e.g., battle casualties and damage, reparation requests, loyalty \"disabilities\"); new territories and foreign countries visited by Willey's correspondents (e.g., the Western Territories of the USA, China, Japan, Central America, and Australia in the 1860s); the Methodist Church, temperance movement, school activities and needs (e.g., those of his sons and of the early years of West Virginia University). ","The letters represent the opinions, observations, requests, and activities of Willey's correspondents, and Willey himself is seen only through their writings. Willey's thoughts and commentaries can be found in his two-volume diary (see Series 4, W.T. Willey's Diary, boxes 21-22). ","Selected correspondents include:","Robert Anderson;  \nW.W.

In 1823, the family (which now included stepmother, Mary McCormack Willey) moved to a farm on the Monongahela River in Monongalia County near present-day Rivesville. Here, Willey received a rudimentary formal education with readings from the classics and the Bible.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIn 1827, Willey walked the forty miles from his home to Uniontown, Pennsylvania to attend Madison College (later Allegheny College) where he excelled in classical studies and mathematics. After three and one half years he received a B.A. degree, and then read law in the office of Philip Doddridge and John Campbell in Wellsburg, Brooke County, Virginia.

The Willey family subsequently included seven children: Mary Ellen, wife of Dr. M.L. Casselberry of Morgantown; Sarah Barnes, wife of J. Marshall Hagans, distinguished judge; William Patrick, professor of law at West Virginia University; Julia, wife of Major William McGrew, Union Army officer, West Virginia state senator, and Morgantown banker; Thomas Ray, United States government clerk in the Interior Department; Louisa, unmarried, who remained at home; and John Byrne, deputy clerk of Monongalia County.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWaitman T. Willey maintained a successful and lucrative law practice in Morgantown for 67 years. He served as Monongalia County Clerk and clerk of the Circuit Superior Court from 1841 to 1852, and was Morgantown's first Superintendent of Schools. Willey had an early interest in politics and was an active member of the conservative Whig Party: he served as an elector for the Harrison-Tyler election of 1840, was an unsuccessful Whig candidate for Congress in 1852, an unsuccessful Opposition (Whig Party) candidate for Lt. Governor of Virginia in 1859, and a delegate to the Constitutional Union Party convention which nominated Bell and Everett for President and Vice President in 1860. In 1850, Willey had been a delegate to the Virginia Constitutional Convention where he championed western Virginia interests, white manhood suffrage, and governmental reforms. Again, in 1861, he was a delegate to the Virginia Convention that voted for secession (Willey voted against it). In the subsequent, Pro-Union, reorganized legislature (the \"Restored Government of Virginia at Wheeling\"), Willey was elected to Congress to complete the term of James M. Mason for two years. While in the Senate, Willey actively introduced legislation to admit West Virginia into the Union. The Reorganized Government proposed a new state Constitution that Willey supported in Congress in 1862.

But because of his \"ardent support\" of the Union, Willey's political views evolved through the years to support Republican aims, including national emancipation of slaves and disenfranchisement of disloyal citizens. He considered the latter appropriate in order to keep \"southern sympathizers\" from gaining control of West Virginia and perhaps reuniting the state with Virginia. Although Willey was aligned with conservative Republicans in the Senate, he did vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Reconstruction Acts, the removal of President Johnson, and the 14th and 15th Amendments. He opposed the Freedman's Bureau and the Enforcement Acts of 1870. Many in West Virginia opposed Republican Party policies, and in 1870 the party lost control of state government.

He also continued his active service in the Methodist Church where he was an advocate for lay participation in the national conference and served as delegate from West Virginia in 1880. Willey was much in demand as a public speaker throughout his life -- he was called, \"old man eloquent\" -- because of his commanding appearance, \"thrilling\" voice, evident sincerity, and knowledge. He spoke frequently on Temperance, Methodist beliefs, politics, the classics, and history. He collected a large library, wrote numerous articles and a biography of Philip Doddridge. He received several honorary degrees, including LLD from Allegheny College and West Virginia University.

Willey (1811-1900), lawyer, senator, and founding father of West Virginia. A resident of Monongalia County, Willey was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1850, the Secession Convention of 1861, the First Wheeling Convention of 1861, and the Constitutional Convention of 1871. He was U.S. Senator from the Restored Government of Virginia (1861-1863) and Senator from West Virginia (1863-1871). Includes several thousand pieces of incoming correspondence to Waitman T. Willey dating from 1833 to 1900 (bulk 1859-1869) concerning political, social, and economic affairs. There is much material on the temperance movement in Virginia (1845-1860), the Civil War, and the statehood movement in West Virginia. Also includes miscellaneous financial records (1837-1869) and legal papers (1820-1856); Willey's diary (entries from 1830-1899, posthumously added clippings through 1908); and other material.","Series include:","Series 1a.

Miscellaneous, 1827-1917, undated, box 22 and unboxed","This series includes letters written to Waitman T. Willey (WTW). The letters can be divided into four major categories: politics; governmental service and the Civil War; family and church affairs; and law and business activities. Willey wrote the name of the correspondent and the date on each letter. ","The letters have been previously divided into \"copied\" (Series 1a.) and \"not copied\" (Series 1b.) categories; the former refers to a select number of the letters for which transcripts were made, apparently in connection with research by Ambler for his biography of Willey. These transcripts are filed in the Charles H. Ambler Collection (A\u0026M 122, boxes 10-12). In general, the \"copied\" letters are more pertinent to Willey's political career, especially his senate tenure during the Civil War, and his Methodist Church activities. Although the \"not copied\" letters also include material regarding his political and church activities, they are more concerned with his law and business interests, and family and friends.  \n\"Copied\" (transcribed) letters are found in boxes 1 through 4, are numbered 1 through 1181, and date from 1833 to 1898. ","\"Not copied\" (not transcribed) letters are found in boxes 4 through 16, are numbered 1182 through 7008, and date from 1833 to 1900. ","The incoming letters encompass a variety of topics: ","Everyday life in rural United States in the 19th Century (e.g., West Virginia); life in newly developed urban centers (e.g., St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.); political life before the Civil War in Virginia and later in West Virginia; the plight of citizens and communities resulting from war (e.g., battle casualties and damage, reparation requests, loyalty \"disabilities\"); new territories and foreign countries visited by Willey's correspondents (e.g., the Western Territories of the USA, China, Japan, Central America, and Australia in the 1860s); the Methodist Church, temperance movement, school activities and needs (e.g., those of his sons and of the early years of West Virginia University). ","The letters represent the opinions, observations, requests, and activities of Willey's correspondents, and Willey himself is seen only through their writings. Willey's thoughts and commentaries can be found in his two-volume diary (see Series 4, W.T. Willey's Diary, boxes 21-22). ","Selected correspondents include:","Robert Anderson;  \nW.W.

Willey (WTW). The letters can be divided into four major categories: politics; governmental service and the Civil War; family and church affairs; and law and business activities. Willey wrote the name of the correspondent and the date on each letter. ","The letters have been previously divided into \"copied\" (Series 1a.) and \"not copied\" (Series 1b.) categories; the former refers to a select number of the letters for which transcripts were made, apparently in connection with research by Ambler for his biography of Willey. These transcripts are filed in the Charles H. Ambler Collection (A\u0026M 122, boxes 10-12). In general, the \"copied\" letters are more pertinent to Willey's political career, especially his senate tenure during the Civil War, and his Methodist Church activities. Although the \"not copied\" letters also include material regarding his political and church activities, they are more concerned with his law and business interests, and family and friends.  \n\"Copied\" (transcribed) letters are found in boxes 1 through 4, are numbered 1 through 1181, and date from 1833 to 1898. ","\"Not copied\" (not transcribed) letters are found in boxes 4 through 16, are numbered 1182 through 7008, and date from 1833 to 1900. ","The incoming letters encompass a variety of topics: ","Everyday life in rural United States in the 19th Century (e.g., West Virginia); life in newly developed urban centers (e.g., St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.); political life before the Civil War in Virginia and later in West Virginia; the plight of citizens and communities resulting from war (e.g., battle casualties and damage, reparation requests, loyalty \"disabilities\"); new territories and foreign countries visited by Willey's correspondents (e.g., the Western Territories of the USA, China, Japan, Central America, and Australia in the 1860s); the Methodist Church, temperance movement, school activities and needs (e.g., those of his sons and of the early years of West Virginia University). ","The letters represent the opinions, observations, requests, and activities of Willey's correspondents, and Willey himself is seen only through their writings. Willey's thoughts and commentaries can be found in his two-volume diary (see Series 4, W.T. Willey's Diary, boxes 21-22). ","Selected correspondents include:","Robert Anderson;  \nW.W.

Anne sailed on the steamer \"Republic\" from New York to Naples. She traveled with some friends. She and Carol had been at the Manhattan Hotel where they had lunch with Anne's brother Brainard Jr Brainard and Parker,one of her other brothers, came to see them off at the dock. They ran into the Seymours who they knew from brown Hall Boston. Anne and another man attended Sunday services on board. Anne mentions all of the people who sat at their table for dinner. They had breakfast and went u on the hurricane deck. Anne walked and later sat on a deck chair and read. Anne was feeling pretty good but Mr Case was decidedly the best sailor. Anne walked, read and napped. Tea was served every day at 4:30 Anne walked with others, met some people from Ohio. There was more of a pitch to the seas. The Bohners had their steamer chairs on one side of her and Mr Bliven from Providence on the other side. Anne continued to meet new people on the steamer. Anne walked with Carol and then went to the hurricane deck. They went to the dining room for music. One couple sang for them. Anne met Mr Steele from Highland Park, Chicago. After dinner she walked a long while with Miss Seymour. Then they went with others for refreshments. Anne got up just in time to see San Miguel Island, the largest of the Azores. They ;landed and visited Punta Del Garda the largest city. The Azores belong to Portugal. Anne said the climate was wonderful and all sorts of tropical plants grew there. They saw hills, gardens, pastures and more. \"Columbus stopped at Santa Maria at San Miguel in \"Nina\" in 1493 after terrible gales Anne said they left the Republic to go down the sides of the steamer to get to other landing boats. They went to Punta Del Garda and took carriages to the beautiful gardens. There were all sorts of tropical plants, ferns, flowers and more. The camillas and hibiscus were very fine. They stopped at one old cathedral and then walked to another chapel on the hill overlooking the harbor. Anne took pictures. The native women wore long flowing robes with hoods.

She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"","The following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026 Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026dat=19321226\u0026id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026 Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026dat=19321226\u0026id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026amp; Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026amp;dat=19321226\u0026amp;id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026amp;sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026amp;pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

Driving back they saw the Kaiser fly past in his green auto again with flags flying. Back at the hotel they dressed fro Mrs Thackeras tea. She was the wife of the US Consul General. They had a fine time and met a lot of people. Then they met Mr Case at the \"Rheingold\" for dinner. They went to see a variety. Then they went to Leipzig. (Anne, her sister Bess and broth Brainard Jr had lived in Leipzig in 1899-1900. At the time Brainard was the US. consul to Leipzig.) Frau Merhaut was waiting to greet them with some early flowers. Her sister had also sent a pretty bunch. \"It seemed so good to get back to our old abode that I was quite reduced to tears. Southard has the place fixed up in wonderfully good taste\" They had tea across the street, went shopping and returned to the consulate.They went to dinner with old friends. The next day Southard gave a performance with his dogs. Mr Case gave an automobile party. As they drove the car broke down with a tire puncture. They fixed the puncture. They were about home when they had another puncture. They had lunch when they got bck. Anne and Carol went to visit Frau Merhaut and her sister. Later Fraulein Merhaut had tea with them at their place. Later they met Mr and Mrs Gulden at the Hauffer for dinner. When they got back they stayed up late looking at Southard's calendar. The net day they walked around Leipzig. They saw the new Raddt Hausse. Anne and Bess had seen the laying of the cornerstone in 1900;. They stopped at an Art Gallery. Later they got an automobile and went to see the Peace Monument on the field where the Battle of Leipig had been fought. In the afternoon Southard asked a number of people to come in and see them. They went to the opera in the evening. They went to Hamburg. They went to a dinner for Frau Fleischer Edel and she got a big ovation In Hamburg Anne, Carol and Southard went shopping. At dinner that evening Southard have Anne a fine jewel case. They rode to the train station to go to Kux Ha Feu. She and Southard had a scare when their horse tried to run away with them. They were going to a boat (\"der Amerika\") and Southard came out on the tender with them. They only had time to go to their state rooms before Southard had to return to shore. \"We watched him out of sight as our boat started up\" They came to Southampton but didn't go into dock. Tenders came out with passengers and baggage. They passed the isle of White and other ports on the English coast. After dinner Anne, Carol and Mr Bendecke played bridge. Anne received a letter from Bess and a telegram from Southard. Carol met a Mr Brown who had her as a student at Old Point when she was there. The seas grew tough and Anne didn't care for lunch or dinner. The next day the seas were still rough. Anne got up, dressed and stayed on a lounge chair. Carol didn't get up. Anne got the \"Atlantic daily News\" after lunch. The Amerika had a \"lift' (elevator and a gymnasium. The seas were very rough. Anne and Carol stayed in bed. Mr Bendecke sent a beautiful bunch of lilacs \"to the invalids in 109\" The next day the sea were high and rough and it was cold. Anne made it up on deck and had her lunch. A boat bound for England passed them. The seas were rough again. They all made it for dinner. Then they reviewed all of their purchases for the purpose of declarations. They had the captain's Dinner. They served beautiful illuminated ice cream. Laurence sent them lovely lilies of the valley. In the evening there was a concert but neither Anne or Carol attended. They took pictures on the upper deck. They docked at Hoboken and had no trouble at the Customs. House. Mr B gave Anne and Carol bracelets. Anne went to the \"Woodstock\" at 43rd and Broadway. She met friends including her younger brother Parker. Parker went to Jersey City and Anne boarded a train for Washington DC. \" \"Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"","The following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026 Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026dat=19321226\u0026id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

After dinner she walked a long while with Miss Seymour. Then they went with others for refreshments. Anne got up just in time to see San Miguel Island, the largest of the Azores. They ;landed and visited Punta Del Garda the largest city. The Azores belong to Portugal. Anne said the climate was wonderful and all sorts of tropical plants grew there. They saw hills, gardens, pastures and more. \"Columbus stopped at Santa Maria at San Miguel in \"Nina\" in 1493 after terrible gales Anne said they left the Republic to go down the sides of the steamer to get to other landing boats. They went to Punta Del Garda and took carriages to the beautiful gardens. There were all sorts of tropical plants, ferns, flowers and more. The camillas and hibiscus were very fine. They stopped at one old cathedral and then walked to another chapel on the hill overlooking the harbor. Anne took pictures. The native women wore long flowing robes with hoods. She saw a conk drum by a sheep. The streets are narrow and paved with stone. The houses are low and white, pale pink or buff. The sidewalks are fancy with inlaid stones that look like mosaics. They returned to the boat and watched the island as they sailed away. Later they played shuffle board The Republic docked in Genoa. A number of 1st class passengers and about 200 3rd class passengers left the ship. Anne and others left the boat later and took a carriage with a guide. They went to the Church of the Annunciation. They drove by Campo Santo and one of the most remarkable cemeteries. Since 1818 there were more than 1,500,000 Catholics buried there. Rich people can buy a niche for $2000. Other crypts are beautifully carves and cost $10,000. When there wasn't a carved statue there were framed pictures of the deceased hung over the door. Under the floor of the chapel are buried the famous men of Genoa. The poor people are buried in a large plot in the center. After two years the remains are removed and others take their place. They went to the Palace Durazzo with a beautiful staircase and paintings by Reubens and Tintoretto. They went to the port of San Lorenzo with homes of alternating black and white marble.

They could see Corsica in the distance They landed at Naples. They had gotten up early and saw Capri long before they came into harbor. They spent an hour saying Goodbye to each other and waiting for permission to leave the Republic. When they did go into the Customs House it seemed like pandemonium. Many were rustling wildly trying to find someone who spoke English. Anne found herself on a bus with Mrs Schull and Miss Schull. They went to the hotel Santa Lucia where they had beautiful rooms overlooking the Bay of Naples. Vesuvius was off to the left and Castle 'Oro was straight in front. They had lunch and then went to the Villa Nationale. There's a garden along the waterfront. The Acquarium was in the center. They walked though it and saw jelly fish, octopus and flower fish.

They arrived and passed through a public garden before entering \"the greatest gambling house in the world\". They had to buy admission tickets. The first thing they noticed was the \"immense quiet\" of the place. There were hundreds playing but from the expressions on their faces Anne couldn't tell if they were winning or losing. There was no excitement. They saw an actress who is considered the most beautiful woman in Europe. They watched the players for an hour and then went across the street to a café to eat.

They had a fine time and met a lot of people. Then they met Mr Case at the \"Rheingold\" for dinner. They went to see a variety. Then they went to Leipzig. (Anne, her sister Bess and broth Brainard Jr had lived in Leipzig in 1899-1900. At the time Brainard was the US. consul to Leipzig.) Frau Merhaut was waiting to greet them with some early flowers. Her sister had also sent a pretty bunch. \"It seemed so good to get back to our old abode that I was quite reduced to tears.

She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"","The following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026 Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026dat=19321226\u0026id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and three brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr , Southard and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Annes's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue.

Front Page: \"Anna P Warner 2300 Massachusetts Avenue Washington DC From RPW January 24th 1908\" \"RPW\" was Rebecca (Bess) P Warner, Anna's older sister. Bess always called her Anne. Anne sailed on the steamer \"Republic\" from New York to Naples. She traveled with some friends. She and Carol had been at the Manhattan Hotel where they had lunch with Anne's brother Brainard Jr Brainard and Parker,one of her other brothers, came to see them off at the dock. They ran into the Seymours who they knew from brown Hall Boston. Anne and another man attended Sunday services on board. Anne mentions all of the people who sat at their table for dinner. They had breakfast and went u on the hurricane deck. Anne walked and later sat on a deck chair and read. Anne was feeling pretty good but Mr Case was decidedly the best sailor. Anne walked, read and napped. Tea was served every day at 4:30 Anne walked with others, met some people from Ohio. There was more of a pitch to the seas. The Bohners had their steamer chairs on one side of her and Mr Bliven from Providence on the other side. Anne continued to meet new people on the steamer. Anne walked with Carol and then went to the hurricane deck. They went to the dining room for music. One couple sang for them. Anne met Mr Steele from Highland Park, Chicago. After dinner she walked a long while with Miss Seymour. Then they went with others for refreshments. Anne got up just in time to see San Miguel Island, the largest of the Azores. They ;landed and visited Punta Del Garda the largest city. The Azores belong to Portugal. Anne said the climate was wonderful and all sorts of tropical plants grew there. They saw hills, gardens, pastures and more. \"Columbus stopped at Santa Maria at San Miguel in \"Nina\" in 1493 after terrible gales Anne said they left the Republic to go down the sides of the steamer to get to other landing boats. They went to Punta Del Garda and took carriages to the beautiful gardens. There were all sorts of tropical plants, ferns, flowers and more. The camillas and hibiscus were very fine. They stopped at one old cathedral and then walked to another chapel on the hill overlooking the harbor. Anne took pictures. The native women wore long flowing robes with hoods. She saw a conk drum by a sheep. The streets are narrow and paved with stone. The houses are low and white, pale pink or buff. The sidewalks are fancy with inlaid stones that look like mosaics. They returned to the boat and watched the island as they sailed away. Later they played shuffle board The Republic docked in Genoa. A number of 1st class passengers and about 200 3rd class passengers left the ship. Anne and others left the boat later and took a carriage with a guide. They went to the Church of the Annunciation. They drove by Campo Santo and one of the most remarkable cemeteries. Since 1818 there were more than 1,500,000 Catholics buried there. Rich people can buy a niche for $2000. Other crypts are beautifully carves and cost $10,000. When there wasn't a carved statue there were framed pictures of the deceased hung over the door. Under the floor of the chapel are buried the famous men of Genoa. The poor people are buried in a large plot in the center. After two years the remains are removed and others take their place. They went to the Palace Durazzo with a beautiful staircase and paintings by Reubens and Tintoretto. They went to the port of San Lorenzo with homes of alternating black and white marble. The Chapel of St John the Baptist contains his relics. \"\"Only men are allowed to step inside the place as it was a woman who caused John to be beheaded\" They went to the Rossazio gardens where they had a great view of Genoa and the harbor. Terraces, grottos,marble statues. Anne had dinner on the Republic. Then she went to an opera with some other people. The men put their hats on and stood up and stared at the audience between acts. They left Genoa and the Republic steamed along the west coast of Italy. They passed very close to the island of Elba where Napolean was banished in 1815. They could see Corsica in the distance They landed at Naples. They had gotten up early and saw Capri long before they came into harbor. They spent an hour saying Goodbye to each other and waiting for permission to leave the Republic. When they did go into the Customs House it seemed like pandemonium. Many were rustling wildly trying to find someone who spoke English. Anne found herself on a bus with Mrs Schull and Miss Schull. They went to the hotel Santa Lucia where they had beautiful rooms overlooking the Bay of Naples. Vesuvius was off to the left and Castle 'Oro was straight in front. They had lunch and then went to the Villa Nationale. There's a garden along the waterfront. The Acquarium was in the center. They walked though it and saw jelly fish, octopus and flower fish. They went back to the hotel. Then they went out and took a trolley. The trolley was divided into 2 sections – first and second class. They went back and had tea and then dinner. Anne started out with the guide Francis and several others on a 2 day trip. They drove in a \"fine Clement machine\". (car). They went to Pompei and to the buried city of Hercularium. They passed a few miles from Vesuvius. They saw the Pompei Museum, and several temples. They had a beautiful ride through Nocera, La cara and the Valley of the Mills.

One of the most beautiful churches in Rome with the tallest tower. It was said that on August 5th there was a miraculous snow storm and the Virgin Mary appropriated the site for a temple (in the 4th Century) Beautiful Borghese chapel. There was a statue to Pope Piux XI. He was supposed to be buried there but decided to be buried \"with the poor at San Lorenzo\" They drove to the American Church where Dr Wadsworth preaches. Dr Thurber preached to them instead. Afterwards Mrs Thurber introduced them to a lot of Americans. After lunch they walked to Pincian Hill and listened to the band.They watched the crowds of people coming there to the most popular spot in Rome on a Sunday afternoon. Later they had chocolate and a cake at Café Nozionale (Corso). They sat at a little table on the sidewalk. Then they went back to the Savoy in time to dress for 7 o'clock dinner. They went to the Museum of Modern Art. Then they spent 2 hours at St Peter's and the Vatican. After lunch they went to the Coliseum, the Arch of Constantine and the Via Appia. In the evening they ll went to the Italian Royal Opera and saw \"Otello\" by Verdi. They went to see the Vatican Galleries. They stopped at the right colonnade of St Peters and there were brod stairs leading up that were designed by Bernini. They went into the Sistine chapel where the Cardinals elect a new Pope. Smoke is sent out when the new Pope is elected. The ceiling is covered with Frescoes by Michaelangelo. Only 3000 ducats paid for it. The \"Last Judgement\" is at the end of the chapel and was done when Michaelangelo was 60. It took 7 tears, Anne describes the many paintings they saw. They also saw the mosaic factory in the Vatican. One artist was working on a piece that was going to be sold for $2000. The Vatican contains 11,000 chambers, 20 courts and 8 grand staircases. The Pope goes out every pleasant day into the exterior gardens but never is allowed to go past the Vatican walls. \"This makes him virtually a prisoner for life\". They went back to the Savoy for lunch. Then they left for \"St Paul's Without the Walls\" They took a train, crossed the Tiber River and through the Porta S Paolo. She mentions the Pyramid of Caius Cestius, 125' high and 25' wide. She also mentions the poet Keats. Anne says that St Paul was beheaded near the famous cathedral bearing his name. The first cathedral was built in the 4th century and some of the pillars and mosaics of that time are still present. There was a fire in 1854 and the cathedral had to be rebuilt. It's said to contain \"the bones of St Paul\". Anne goes into detail about the Cathedral. They returned and had chocolate at Café Nazionale They went to the Pantheon. She describes it in detail and says that a work by Raphael is there. They drove by pillars from the ancient temple of Neptune. \"Stopped at Trevi Fountain and all threw in money to bring us back to Rome\". It's a wonderful fountain cut out of rock built in 1735.

Then they drove to the King;s Palace. At the Rospigliosi Castle they saw on the ceiling the famous Aurora, They saw ruins and the Palace of the Caesars.

St John Lateran is supposed to contain the heads of St John and St Paul and a table where St Peter said mass. They had tea at the Methodist church.

(Anne, her sister Bess and broth Brainard Jr had lived in Leipzig in 1899-1900. At the time Brainard was the US. consul to Leipzig.) Frau Merhaut was waiting to greet them with some early flowers. Her sister had also sent a pretty bunch. \"It seemed so good to get back to our old abode that I was quite reduced to tears.

She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 36. Southard was 27 and Anne 32 in 1908. Southard was one of Anne's younger brothers. He was in the US Diplomatic corps and served as a consul in a variety of countries. Six years later Southard would be dead. In 1914 he was serving in China. He was hospitalized in an institution and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. So the diary entries about Southard are poignant. Anne loved him and wrote that by far the nicest sight she had seen in Europe was his face which she hadn't seen in a year and a half.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe following description and transcription has been provided by the seller and has not been verified. It goes far beyond the scope of this single diary and includes background information from other family papers that were at the seller's disposal as well as Warner family genealogical research: \"This is the 1925 to 1929 handwritten diary of Anna P Warner. It's a Ward's 5 Year Diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. There are entries for 1925 to 1928. The diary gives a surprising view into the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. in the 1920's. Anne wrote of famous historical events like Lindbergh's flight and Carl Sandburg's poetry reading as well as family life, dinners, society events, Bess's work as a librarian in the free library system, riding in their Hupmobile, driving to see the Cherry blossoms, trips to Atlantic city and much much more. From a number of letters and diaries I know that Bess Warner called her sister Anna Warner \"Anne\". Anne was the 4th child born to Brainard H Warner Sr and Mary Jacobs Warner. She was born in 1876 and so was 49 at the beginning of this diary in 1925. She lived with her older sister Bess who would have been 52. Also mentioned frequently are her brother Brainard Jr who was 50, her younger sister Mary Warner Cooke who was 46 and the youngest brother Andrew Parker (called Parker) who was 42. Other people mentioned frequently: Mary's husband Levi and daughters Virginia and Polly, Brainard's wife Mary Moore and their children Rebecca, Molly and Brainard III. Also Aunt Harriett, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Bessie. Included with the diary are: * some handwritten notes on scraps of paper and * a Xerox photocopy of very neat photograph (the original photograph is not included in the auction). The picture shows an older man with a mustache, short top hat, suit with vest, pocket watch chain. He's standing in front of a large house next to a serious blond haired boy with a bowl haircut, dressed in a sailor suit staring into the camera. It was stuck in the diary on the day of Brainard Jr's birthday in June. In the background you can barely see a woman. I'm not sure if Brainard Jr is the older man or the young boy. The boy looks like he's 8 to 10 years old. Brainard Jr was 10 in 1885 when his father was 38. The man in this picture looks older than 38. Brainard Jr was born in 1875. Brainard III was born in 1926 when his father was 51. The older man in the picture looks 50 or older. The problem is Brainard Jr died in 1933 when his son was just 7. It's possible Brainard was 7 and big for his age and that this picture was taken in 1933. I tend to think that Brainard Jr is the older man and Brainard III is the boy. Also included is a small newspaper clipping. It's edged in black and is written in German. A rough translation is: \" Today 5 ½ o'clock Elisabeth Merhaut Quiet sleep Weststrabe 59 II 16 June 1925 Faithful commemorate Margarete Harff\" From the 1899 diary of Bess Warner we know that Elisabeth Merhaut helped Bess and Anne settle into their home in Leipzig where they lived for approximately a year. Elisabeth lived in a studio, was an artist and gave German lessons to both Bess and Anne Warner. This looks to be the notice of Elisabeth's death on June 16, 1925 BACKGROUND Anne was the daughter of Brainard Warner Sr and Mary Parker Warner. At the time Anne wrote this diary she had two sisters and two brothers who were living: Bess (with who she lived), Mary Warner Cooke, Brainard Jr and Andrew Parker Warner (known as Parker). Her mother died in 1885 when Anne was 9. It looks like Mary Parker Warner died after childbirth. Brainard Warner Sr. remarried two years later in 1887 to Mary Philips. They had three children: Margaret, Albert and Hamilton. Brainard Warner Sr was a dynamic man who made a fortune in real estate , banking and land development in Washington D.C. and Maryland. He was the founder of Kensington Maryland. His company was responsible for the oversight of building over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area He was also the founder of the Washington Pubic library. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty, a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. So Anne grew up in a family that money and status. She had two brothers who served as consuls: Brainard Jr and Southard. Southard committed suicide while serving in Manchuria (China) in 1914. Neither Bess, the oldest child, nor Anne ever married. They lived together all of their lives until Bess's death in 1942. They grew up in a house that their father built at 2100 Massachusetts avenue. As adults they lived in an apartment at 1868 Columbia Road in Washington DC. CONDITION: This is a 5 ½ \" x 5\" diary. It's a 5-year diary. There's a blue Brentano's Booksellers – Washington DC sticker on the back page. . The Brown leather covers are worn and have detached from the diary. \"A Line A Day\" is stamped in gold on the front cover. The pages of the diary are edged in gold. There is some chipping on the front and back pages but the content is intact. The front page is taped on the back. The words are all readable. This is a string bound diary. In some sections the string seems to be weakening and in other sections they are still pretty tight.   Each page is divided into 5 sections. Anne started with 1925. The writing is mostly in black ink that has toned to sepia. The handwriting is very legible. On some entries the ink on the opposite side has washed out in the paper a bit. So the words look like they have a light to medium brown background. But I had no problem reading the entries.   * 1925 – 194 entries * 1926 - 248 entries * 1927 – 106 entries * 1928 – 78 entries * 1929 – 1 entry       627 entries for 5 years (really 4 since there's ony 1 entry in 1929)       COMMENT:   The first Warner diary I read was written by Bess in 1899. She, Anne and Brainard were in their 20's and living for a time in Leipzig Germany where Brainard was the US Consul. Bess was at times insecure and uncertain. Other times she was arrogant and judgmental. I found that diary fascinating.   This diary was written by Anne 26 years later. I ended up loving this diary and reading every entry. Anne was very good at painting a picture of their lives in the early 1920's.   One thing that struck me was that Anne, Bess and Mary Warner Cooke were strong, independent women. But the men in their lives were also very bright and accomplished. Brainard Warner Sr. was a man with a real talent for leadership who could bring people together. He ended up a very wealthy man. Brainard Jr. was a consul and later a successful Washington attorney. Levi Cooke was a journalist who became a lawyer, was well known by most US senators, represented the Brewer's association, was associated with the Busch family of St Louis, was known internationally and was highly regarded by the ABA.   The relationship between Bess and Anne was interesting. Bess worked as a librarian in Takoma Maryland which was part of the Washington Public library system. Anne seemed to handle the family accounts, finances, trust company visits, driving and taking care of the family car (a Hupmobile!) and household responsibilities.   Although neither woman married they were involved with family and children on a daily basis. Their sister Mary lived nearby and her two daughters, Polly and Virginia, were very frequent visitors at Ann and Bess's home. Ann and Bess also visited their brother Brainard's home weekly and saw his children: Rebecca, Mollie and Brainard IV.   Anne was also involved with Children's Home work and visited a local school to help with programs there. She and Bess were also involved in a number of societies.   As I read this diary I noticed that Anne and Bess were very frugal compared to their sister Mary and her two brothers. They lived in an apartment rather than owning a large home. Mary Warner Cooke and Brainard Warner Jr built and owned large and beautiful homes. Anne and Bess owned the same Hupmobile for at least 4 years. Their sister Mary drove several new cars including a Cadillac. Anne and Mary didn't do any international travel from 1925 to 1928. In 1929 they did sail to Europe. They also had their hats \"renovated\" or reblocked.   I know they received and lived on payments from a trust established by their father. Brainard, Mary and Parker also received trust payments. But Brainard was a successful lawyer, Levi Cooke was also a successful lawyer and Parker was employed by the Department of the Interior.   So I'm not sure if Anne and Bess were naturally frugal or if they had a financial need to live carefully.   What I learned about Anne:   * She loved children, her nieces and nephews, her sister Bess, flowers, the Cherry Blossoms (she really loved the Cherry Blossoms), the Children's Home, the symphony, plays, silent movies, current events, listening to the radio, reading. * Anne went to Oak Hill Cemetery often. Her father, mother, brother Southard and several siblings who didn't survive into adulthood were all buried there. She arranged for seasonal flowers and ferns to decorate the graves. (Eventually she and all her brothers and sisters, except for Brainard Jr, and Mary Warner Cooke would be buried there). * She was a very considerate person. If a friend was in the hospital she went to visit. If her niece Virginia had one of her headaches or was sick, Anne went to visit her. She cared for Bess when she was sick. * She loved driving the Hupmobile. She and Bess drove all over. When they really wanted to relax they drove out to Haines Point MD and looked out at the ocean * In 1926 Ann went to Columbia Hospital for Women and spent three weeks there. I think it's likely she had an operation, perhaps a hysterectomy. After her stay in the hospital she seemed more introspective. She started including quotes like \"Live each day as though it might be the last\" in her diary. She wrote about the benefits of relaxation and she and Bess went to Atlantic City to relax on the beach and get treatments at the spa.   Here are some other things that were interesting:       * 1868 Columbia Road (where Anne and Bess lived) is across from Kalorama Park. The building still stands and is called \"The Norwood\". It's a 7-story brown and beige stone building with a small circular driveway in front. The front of the building faces Kalorama Park. The apartments there are described as having big rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors. Since the 1920's I am sure that the original larger apartments were subdivided into smaller apartment space. But the exterior is very nice.       * Mary Warner and her husband Levi built a new home at 2409 Wyoming Ave NW. It was a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home with 7564 square feet. It still stands. * Bess and Anne drove out to Primrose Street in Chevy Chase MD a lot. This was the home of their brother Brainard Jr. Here's a photograph of the home today http://www.justnewlistings.com/idx/mris/MC7260540/details.html) * Anne frequently mentioned Mr \u0026amp; Mrs Kennedy in her diary. I don't know if this family was related to Joe Kennedy, father of President John F Kennedy. But Brainard Warner Jr's family did summer in Massachusetts and eventually had family that lived in Hyannisport, MA. * Virginia was 10 in 1925 and Polly was 11 ½. Their full names were Virginia P Cooke and Polly Mary Cooke. In later years Virginia did a lot of world travel with her mother. Polly did some traveling with them but her name disappears from passenger lists and border crossings around 1932. It's very possible she got married around that time and traveled under her married name. * 1933 was a very bad year for the Warner family. They lost Brainard Warner Jr who died in September at age 58. And they lost Levi Cooke, the husband of Mary Warner, in December at age 50. The only male presence left in the family was Parker Warner who traveled throughout the United States as a surveyor. * Levi Cooke died in December 1933. He was a lawyer and also a legislative representative for the US Brewers' Association. He had acute indigestion and was confined to his bed. Then he died. (It was a heart attack). Cooke was known to nearly every member of Congress. He testified before the House on the Collier beer bill. He was an advocate of modifying the Volstead Act. He was an authority on liquor laws in foreign countries and an expert in constitutional law. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955\u0026amp;dat=19321226\u0026amp;id=dG4hAAAAIBAJ\u0026amp;sjid=wocFAAAAIBAJ\u0026amp;pg=3691,4496038 * According to the terms of Brainard Warner Sr's will the income generated from a trust would be divided equally between his wife and 9 children. When his wife Mary H died (in 1954) then the income and principal would be divided among the 9 children. If any had died then any grandchildren would share the 1/9 portion of the trust division. The upshot of this was that Bess and Anne and their brothers and sister had income they received from the trust. When Bess died she willed her 1/9 portion to Anne. * Of all the Warner children who married, only Brainard Jr had a son whom he named Brainard III. Brainard III had a son whom he named Brainard IV (\"Hank\") and who would be around 50 years old. Brainard IV (Hank) has a brother Jonathan and a sister Abby. Brainard IV is married and has a son but I couldn't confirm his name was also Brainard.   CONTENT :   I've summarized a lot of the entries in the diary. As I read through the diary it was hard to exclude material. But there's a LOT of material that I didn't transcribe. Anne mentioned the weather each day and I also excluded most of that material. I highlighted the entries that I liked.   1925   In 1925 Anne and Bess both lived in Washington D.C. Bess worked as a librarian at the library in Takoma MD.

She had a very difficult life during her young teenage years and her sister Sarah died at the young age of 18. Her father sold his place at Whitewater and bought some land and built a cabin at Flat Rock. See: http://www.hcgs.net/quakers.html \" \"She married Jebial Wasson and soon after in 1823 her daughter Charlotte was born. Among other things, her entries are full of traveling throughout the area to the quarterly meetings mentioning many names of the old pioneers. Her life is very difficult but she is an amazing woman full of core Quaker values. She also has a son by the name of Jesse. Around 1833 is when the family moves to St. Joseph's county near La Porte where they start their own Quaker meetings and community. Finally, in 1853, she ends up passing away.\" The following excerpts were also provided by the seller.

Included are accounts of his foraging expeditions to supply his troops, eyewitness accounts of battle, reports and rumors from other quarters, reconstruction of extensive conversations and encounters with comrades, neighbors, and other fellow Southerners, including would-be girlfriends, commentary on the war, and long descriptive travelogues describing famous and not-so-famous areas he traversed.
