Rose kept a diary during her 20s. Here is the cover and one of the pages. It is the size of a steno notebook. Susan Pearson Cox is going to provide the text and we will insert it here once Susan has transcribed it.
The diary is interesting and includes the story of the death of her fiancé to whom she refers in the selected page to the right. She was subsequently courted by Lennart Edwin Pearson. (The mottled look of the page is caused by the light in the scanner. The diary pages are an even off-white.)
(I found a death notice stating that a George A. Ellingson, born in 1877 in Lehi, died on 28 Feb 1900, and is buried in the Lehi City Cemetery.)
Cousin Joel Varney just forwarded this photograph of Rose taken in about 1904. Thanks Joel.
