Abstract

This diary was written sporadically between 1868 and 1876 by Mister Lovering, a farmer and preacher who lived in various places throughout eastern Pennsylvania including Luzerne County, Berks County, and Franklin County. Lovering initially used the diary to record paint recipes, but then used the rest of the pages to write personal and private entries. His wife accused him of being an adulterer with the family servant, Emma Reefs, as well as other "harlots" in town, which affected Lovering for a lengthy period of time. Also included with the diary is a deed for a cemetery plot in Aulenback Cemetery for his wife's family, the Printzs of Reading, Pennsylvania.
