Lee Dewitt Tice
1936
In 1936, Lee Tice lived on his farm in Sullivan Township with his second wife, Ella Marshall, and his two sons from his first marriage to Mildred Mudge, Homer and Leslie. His diary sticks pretty close to home reviewing the farm chores that he does. He tells us every day what time he got up, what time he went to bed and what the temperature and weather were. The main activities for this year were building a large two storey chicken barn and the insatallation of electricity to this very rural area for the first time. The routine of farming is broken only by an occasional social event or visit from relatives or friends. Compare this to the much more detailed diary of Eugene Crippen who lived just to the north in Roseville in the same year.
