Burnam, A.R., 1888, 1914

Contains two small leather bound journals that A.R. Burnam kept in the years 1888 and 1914. Both Journals were printed by the Standard Diary Co. and they contain interesting information that cover everything from rates of postage and values for foreign coins to the known eclipses for the upcoming year. The 1888 Standard Diary No. 140 has daily entries that mention his activities, the weather, his health, family member illnesses, and other day-to-day events. There is also a short account ledger in the back of the journal that shows his account paid and received. The 1914 Standard Diary No. 281 contains similar information and it seems Burnam made very few changes to his journal keeping methods.
