THE ATTIC

DIARY: Alvin N. Parmelee 1831-1918

This 1855 diary of Alvin N. Parmalee [William, Phineas, Phineas, Isaac, Isaac, John, John] of Bergen, Genesee County, N.Y., was auctioned online in 2003. No, I was not the winning bidder.

Inside the cover is a folk art picture of a bird, which he probably drew.

At the bottom of the page, it reads, "Steal not this Book you sasey jack for if you do I will Brake uoyr back."

There is a notation for every day with a weather report.
