In the pages of this volume, the reader will take a journey through a few years (1921-1924) in the life of Ruth Stanton (Earle) Southwick. Ruth was the daughter of Stephen C. Earle, a prominent Massachusetts architect. This bright woman studied Ancient Greek at Mount Holyoke College for three years, but gave it up to marry a Leicester farmer named Nathan Southwick. In the early days of her married life, Ruth began keeping a daily journal of the happenings in her life, and in the lives of her family & community. Ruth was largely unknown outside of Leicester, Ma., but buried within the routine entries of her diaries are names, places and dates that capture details of an era.
