Part of Rev. J. H. Shoults fonds
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. 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. Reference is also made to family life, as well as to social and parish visits, including the names of many friends and acquaintances.
