Comments
This journal concludes on November 10, 1908, the day that James and Martha McMillan moved from the farm near Cedarville to a home in Yellow Springs. Martha's final words in this journal are, "Now this is the end - the book is closed - forever and it came sooner than I thought - 'Where the tree of life is blooming meet we there. Farewell & Farewell.' " That same day, she started a new journal with these words: "While one book is closed another is opened."
Pages 293-300 have been removed from the book, but probably contained no writing, as pages 243-292, following the last entry on November 10, are blank.
