I live in an old house built in 1905. It was built by the Easly family, these people were in the insurance business. I found this old journal in the attic one day and it was a promotional deal from that insurance company....the date is 1934.

I thought some of you might like to see it...I scanned it so hopefully it turns out ok.4245424642474248


This is the house if anyone was curious.

Money pit it may be, but you are most fortunate to live in such a lovely house. Thanks for the post.

I thought that's what all houses are named.

Lovely house and a great find. My house is a few years older and a great deal smaller but it still eats money. I have no idea what is up in my attic. I bought the house a year ago and still haven't been up there.

Congrats! Your house is very nice and the journal you found is a piece of history!

I always wonder about the things we have today and how they will look like to someone in a few years.

Can you imagine the person who owned it? How he/she lived, what did for living? :)

I just think that's nice!

Thanks for sharing!

I just started looking into old journals/notebooks/diaries. It is funny you should post this as I just recently purchased a journal that seems to be an insurance agent's promotional item from 1960. I did a little research on the insurance company and the agent and it seems his family goes way back. Interesting find.

Great fine and a beautiful home. I grew up in an older home and it was a great house.
