Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Dust Jacket. On offer is the chatty, energetic diary of a boy crazy Ohio high school freshman and sophomore in 1928. This is the diary of Jean Witt (1914-2014) , a teenage girl living in Cleveland who moves to Marion, Ohio part way through 1928. She attended Bowling Green State University and trained as a teacher. She was a member of the American Red Cross, stationed at McGuire General Hospital in Richmond, VA during World War 2. She worked as an elementary school teacher in Marion, OH for 37 years. Jean married late in life for the time, becoming the wife of Keith Edward Maloney (1913-1985) in 1953, when both were 39 years old. They had two children, Sally and Sharon. Beginning in sophomore year, Jean attended Marion Harding High School, class of 1931. This means she was in her freshman year and sophomore year when she kept this diary from January through December of 1928. Jean does not use this diary in a linear manner. Rather, she jots down her thoughts and goings-on whenever she remembers, often jumping back and forth in time. As would be expected from a 14-15 year old of any time period, Jean's primary interest and focus is boys! "Well something exciting did happen. The mail man brought my first love letter but from the wrong person (see Note) ".' Note [found at end of diary]: He brought it from Charles Holk. Can you imagine that he's all right but comes from a trashy family and is not my pick at all" [Jan 14]"Eddie didn't come out that Friday nite he had a date with another girl to take her to the Junior Plays. I mustn't fuss because he has a perfect right to since I don't claim to be going steady with him. Mother I don't think would let me if he would have me" [July 17]. "Bub and Squire asked to take Bibs and I home and we consented but I was sorry afterward because he wanted to pet and mother has always tried to tell me that it wasn't an honorable thing for a girl to do so I followed her advice and I'm very glad I did. Bibs I believe was thrilled but I must say I was not. I was very angry at him of course it was all over" [dated Aug 23, but written in the March section]".Dad got a job and we are living in Marion, Ohio. It is a very nice little town and I like it for more reasons than one. I go to Harding Hi and I like it lots. I had my first date about four weeks ago and I had it with Edgar Hastings. He is an awful nice boy. He took me to lecture course and then we went out to a little inn called Rest-a-Bit and had pork sandwiches and cider. He then brought me home. Oh! It was just swell but that wasn't the end. He has been out several times since" [dated Nov 30 but written in the March section]. This diary is a goldmine of insight into the mind of a young teenager embarking on her high school journey and undergoing large life changes with a move to a new community and school at a vulnerable moment. It exemplifies the timeless teenage experience with its focus on interpersonal relationships. Finally, this diary would be valuable to a collector or program interested in pre-war Ohio. This slim diary measures 4.5x3.5 inches and contains 60 pages. It is about 40% complete. The padded gold covers are in very good condition as are the spine and binding. The pages are in good condition as well and the handwriting is legible. ; Manuscripts; 32mo 4" - 5" tall; 60 pages; Signed by Author.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Dust Jacket. On offer is the remarkable medical ledger and diary of one of Marion, Ohio's pioneering physicians, Dr. Russell Clark (R. C. ) Bowdish (1823-1913). Dr. Bowdish was born to Elijah and Sarah (Russell) Bowdish. In 1907, a book on the History of Marion County was published which referred to Bowdish as the "only surviving pioneer physician" [Jacoby, 1907]. Bowdish was one of the first students who attended Marion Academy, before studying medicine under Dr. John C. Norton and Dr. T. B. Fisher. He graduated from Cleveland Medical College in 1844. He first practiced in Waldo before moving to Big Island in 1851 where he practiced medicine until his retirement in 1889. Dr. Bowdish married Irene Hardin (1829-1876) in Delaware, Ohio in 1848. They had two children, both of whom sadly died in childhood. Late in life, Dr. Bowdish married Margaret Emma Wheatley (1840-1921) in 1885. The diary is as interesting for its hundreds of references to pioneers of Marion County as it is for its collection of information about medical treatments and costs of the time. It is also interesting to see how Dr. Bowdish traveled for his work and when, what his typical calls were (usually medication requests and visits to wives who are "in confinement", but some other neat moments such as attending a protracted labour are noted) , how much health care cost and who received it regularly vs sporadically in the region. A small selection of excerpts gives the flavour of the diary: "Wm E Brady medicine for self .20 A Coleman cathartic pills .13Alfred Walker cathartic pills for wife .13" [Sept 1, 1852]. "James Ford [fifth person to get married in Marion county in 1824] for Squill .13" [Dec 7, 1852]. "P Burns attendance upon wife and delivering placenta 2.50" [Nov 1, 1853]. "John Bates for Bateman [Dr. Bateman's Pectoral Drops, opium drops] drops .13" [May 4, 1854]. "Wm Preston to attendance upon wife while at confinement 4.00" [Jan 2, 1855]"E. Messengerreducing dislocation of arm for S. Smith 2.00Willy Fowler med for child .63" [May 27, 1855]. "Porter Brady to cup wife's temple .50" [Jan 7, 1856]. "Clinton Britton 2 visits for self 2.50" [Nov 20, 1856]. "Mrs. S. Britton Cr by cash in full of act on estate of Clinton Britton decd 34.78" [Oct 11, 1857; DeWitt Clinton Britton died in Big Island on Nov 21, 1856]. ".Colored man on Cushman farm to visit for girl 1.50" [Sept 4, 1857]. Some of the many early settler families to Marion County's townships were patients of Dr. Bowdish and their medical interactions are featured in this ledger. Some of these many names include those from the following family groups: Brady, Messenger, Britton (all from Big Island) ; Walker (Green Camp) ; Bryant (Montgomery) ; Martin (Salt Rock) ; Page (Grand Prairie) ; Brundige (Waldo) ; Johnson (Scott, Montgomery, Green Camp) ; Griswold, Beckley, Redding, Skates, Seymour, Carr, Hall, Fowler, Milikin, Rhodes, Wood family, Clark, Hatch, Matison, Conkin, Sprugue, Cushman, Christman, Parker. This is a truly special piece of 19th century medical and Ohio pioneering history. The ledger is hardcover and the spine is showing signs of wear, as are the covers. The binding and all pages are intact. Writing is legible. 194 pages, 100% complete. 11.5x7.5 inches. Overall Fair to Good. ; Manuscripts; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 194 pages; Signed by Author.…
