Sabbath, July 24 1864

Eleven years ago today, dear little Annie was born -- it was sabbath, and the day upon which father’s funeral sermon was preached by Prof. E. B. Andrews--

I went to sabbath school to-day, then came home & staid with little Sarah who is sick with hives, while the others went to meeting. Kate went to meeting here to-day.

Peggy's comment:

Dear little Annie was Julia's niece, Annie Cutler, daughter of William and Lizzie Cutler. She died January 11, 1864. Annie was born on the day of the funeral of Julia's father, Ephraim Cutler.

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

On April 12, 1861, Julia P. Cutler was living in Constitution, Ohio, six miles from Marietta. An avid reader, Julia Cutler was also an avid letter writer--and she kept journals. When news of the fall of Fort Sumter reached the Old Stone House in Ohio on April 13, 1861, Julia Cutler began a journal. She wrote nearly every day throughout the duration of the Civil War. Her entries record news about the politics and battles of the war, but also include family and domestic concerns. Julia Cutler's journals were preserved by Mary Frances Dawes Beach, the daughter of Rufus R. Dawes. Mary Dawes Beach typed the entries for the first two years of the Civil War and those typescripts were passed down in the family. The original journals were donated to the Special Collections Library of Marietta College.
