23 Sep 1904 How can I write what happened on this day, our dear little Murray was taken away from us.

4 Dec 1904 A sad year for George [Young] and Alice [Maneer], losing two children in less than three months: Murray Young, b:29 May 1904 - d:23 Sep 1904, 4m; Lisle - Bertha Lisle Young, 23 Apr 1894-4 Dec 1904, 10y

1 Jan 1905 New Years day. We are very lonely, just four weeks today since dear little Lisle went from us.

25 Jan 1905 all day and Ross was defeated and Whitney was elected.

27 Jan 1905 Geo. took Ballot Box to Thornton and got back about 2 o'clock.

27 Jan 1905 Old Mrs Sheppard died

4 Mar 1905 (Sat) It seems like six months instead of three since dear little Lisle left us. Oh how we do miss her, every day, every hour, all the time she is in my mind. I try not to let the others know but it is hard to be cheerful all the time.

9 Mar 1905 (Thur.) - Things are quiet till evening and then we went to the hall, Grange Meeting. There was a debate Dissolved [sic] that Single Life is preferable to Married Life with E Webb & J Latimer as captains and Mrs W Young & Mrs W Goodfellow as critics. Married side won by one point.

25 Mar 1905 (Sat) purchased the Reynolds estate so there will be a change around here this fall. I expect they will move to Stroud and we shall move across the road. I would rather have gone farther away from the scene of so much sorrow but fate has decreed it otherwise so it must be all right. I am indisposed. [pregnant]

23 Apr 1905 (Sun) Easter Sunday. Nice bright and a birthday to be spent in a happy home above. We must not be so sad, but the recollections of other birthdays makes us long to clasp the hand of that precious one. [Lisle]

24 May 1905 (Wed) Victoria day. We went to funeral of J W Sprouls baby.
