Entries discuss visits to her parents; her courtship and eventual marriage to Charles Stuart Sheldon, a medical student at Buffalo University; social events; daily chores; family traditions; and the health of various family members and friends. Also included is a photograph album, which was annotated by its owner and chiefly contains photographs of family, friends, and students at Elon College, Salem College, and the University of North Carolina, 1916-1917. Also included are 25 unidentified loose photographs. The photographs may have belonged to the family of David Welton, husband of Emma Louise Hodge Sheldon's granddaughter. |
