Still cold. William started to Chillicothe & Linley Wilcox home this morning. Maggie Voris spent the day here. But had to go home to see Emeline M^cLure.

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.
