Scope and Contents

This 300 page notebook is a compilation of diaries kept in various notebooks from 1912 to 1919, which Rosezella consolidated in 1925. The entries begin with a report of her score on a spelling test in grade school and end with descriptions of life as a young woman in the closing days of World War I. Topics covered include family life, school activites, music lessons, trips to surrounding towns, descriptions of books read and movies watched, notations of weather, letters sent and received, and various observations about family and friends. The entries for 1935 and 1936 cover the period of early married life for the Hardys and record daily activities including luncheons, church meetings, movies, and Relief Society work. Hardy also describes family life at their summer cabin in Emigration Canyon. The entries for 1975 describe daily life for Rosezella and Wilford in their Salt Lake City apartment. Topics covered include the Hardy's busy, LDS Church-oriented social life, movies and television programs watched, descriptions of the health of family and friends, information about various missionaries, and notations about meetings of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.
