    Description

    Small (3.75”X2.25”) daily journal of Euclid Scatterday, a farmer who lived in the Centerville, Ohio area from 1795 to 1871. The diary is from 1858 but he notes on the inner cover that he used it for 1859. Very interesting reading as he documents his activities as a farmer in the mid 19th Century; planting and harvesting, purchases and sales, work done on his property as well as social activities. Brief entries but very detailed. I’ve included screenshots of his grave and obituary information from Findagrave.com
