Aunt Aida Austin’s Diary - 1881
Hello Austin relatives and friends!
I thought you might enjoy seeing the cover of Aida Austin’s 1881 Diary. The diary is about 3 inches by 4 1/2 inches.
Aida was really my great aunt, but I never met her or my Austin grandparents. So it was fun to me that Grandpa Mort Austin is mentioned several times in this diary. He was Aida’s brother.
I have scanned the pages and typed what they say. When I get my grandma Briggs’ book done, then I will put the finishing touches on Aida’s 1881 Diary, which is very close to being done also.
bye for now
