Diary of Mary Smith

Diary of Mary Smith

12/97 - The original of the diary is in the possesion of Lois Evans in Lehi Utah.  Her family also has the watch.  Edward settled in American Fork.  After his death the property was given to American Fork and is now the city park.


May 1 (May Day) 1828: Mum gave me a diary because I am 18 and I promised to write in it faithfully. It was a beautiful spring day. Elizabeth, Maria and I went to the Fair to buy new ribbons for our bonnets. My silly6 little sisters were giggling and I looked up and saw the handsomest stranger staring at me. He was even bold enough to wink at me.

May 7, 1828: Today I saw him again. How did he know where I lived? He stopped at our gate and petted Rex. His name is Edward Robinson.
