Caperton, Katherine, 1905-1910

Contains 5 small pocket sized daily calendars for the years 1905-07, 1909-10, and a slightly larger 1909 National Diary that Mrs. Caperton received from Minerva as a gift. Each of the pocket sized calendars has daily diary entries in incredibly small script. Each calendar reinforces Mrs. Caperton's desire to record her daily life and preserve her experiences as best as possible. The 1909 Journal is valuable when attempting to reconstruct the final months of Col. Caperton's life. It also proves important when trying to uncover how Mrs. Caperton dealt with the loss of both her father and husband in the span on six months.
