Diaries: 1867.

Leather covered notebook used as a diary. Entries begin May 9th, 1867 during Tobias' trip on the American prairie and continue through his return to Canada.

Schantz Russell Family

Diaries: 1867.

Diary entries begin with March 8, 1867, but this whole section is marked cancelled and is re-copied starting April 8, 1867. It begins with a record of Tobias' trip to Missouri to see his father, leaving his wife Mary Schantz (nee Moyer) with their 3-year old son Orpheus and new baby Etta, born the previous October. Tobias' father Benjamin with his second wife Margaret and children had gone to homestead near Wellville, west of St. Louis, in 1866. Tobias records his impressions of the countryside, the people, the prospects, the discouragement of all but his father with life in Missouri (March 17th). On July 2 he returns to Canada to where he is then living (near "Campden" --Grimsby within walking distance.) Throughout the diary Tobias records the weather and a daily health bulletin, letters sent and received, as well as his daily reading. He goes through periods of recording his meals. Tobias also lists all the work he does every day. He mentions setting the water for porridge, making the bed, polishing his son's shoes, carrying the baby to church, etc. On Nov. 9 he took a bath, on Nov. 25 he "did not sleep short of midnight. Was talking with Mary about my thought, troubles about religion ...". All parts of the diary have been filled with writing, dating as far as 1889 -- some accounts, recipes both household and medical (many give source), a record of the family tree -- births, marriages, deaths, transcribed songs, and an account probably written in Conestogo ca. 1875 of his spiritual trials and tribulations dating from 1862 and his efforts to achieve inner peace. This account is continued in the "other book," although it is not clear what book this referred to.

Schantz Russell Family

Diaries, 1879.

Ms. diaries contained in two coverless notebooks kept by J. H. Shoults. The first ca. [48] p. ms. diary covers the period Jan. 1, 1879 - June 30, 1879 when Shoults lived in Little Britain. The second ca. [54] p. ms. diary covers the period July 1, 1879 - Dec. 31, 1879. In this latter diary Shoults describes how he moved from Little Britain in Oct. 1879 to take up a new position "as an Evangelist under the direction of the Mission Board" (see diary entry for Oct. 6, 1879). While in this new position Shoults lived in a rented house in Newmarket (see diary entry Oct. 7, 1879). The diaries for 1879 contain daily entries recording personal, social, and professional activities, as well as accounts of weather conditions. The majority of entries relate to Shoults' activities as a minister, and include the names of the places where he preached and of the Bible readings which formed the basis for his services. Reference is also made to the many church meetings he participated in, to individuals he baptized, to funerals, to a Christian conference, and to other church activities in which he was involved. The funeral of Eld. Thomas Henry, who died at the age of 81, is referred to in a diary entry written on Sept. 23, 1879. Descriptions of social, and parish visits are also contained in these diaries, including the names of many friends and acquaintances.

Shoults, J.H., Rev.

Diaries, 1880.

Ms. diaries contained in two coverless notebooks kept by J. H. Shoults. The first ca. [74] p. ms. diary covers the period Jan. 1, 1880 - Aug. 31, 1880. The second ca. [36] p. ms. diary covers the period Sept. 1, 1880 - Dec. 31, 1880. These diaries contain daily entries recording Shoults' personal, social, and professional activities. Accounts of weather conditions are also contained in these diaries. During 1880 Shoults moved from Newmarket to Kettleby (see diary entry Oct. 21, 1880), and subsequently in Dec. 1880 he appears to have moved to "Mt. Pleasant". The majority of entries in these diaries relate to Shoults' activities as a minister, and include the names of the places where he preached and of the Bible readings which formed the basis for his services.
