Higgs
Beatrice Gould Higgs was born in Forest City in 1887 and started keeping a journal at an early age. An aged notebook, began in early 1900, tattered and yellow with time, is the earliest available of the tablets, notebooks, diaries, and scrapbooks she kept over her lifetime. Her mother, Sarah Anne (Annie) Maxan Gould also kept diaries of which two exist. Both also made notes in Dr. Chase's almanac through twenties and thirties. Bea's son, Carl Higgs, generously shared them with me; one of Sarah Anne's diaries is kept by Norman Higgs, her grandson. I have separated them into separate documents as noted in menu to left.
I have retyped those with writing too faint to be picked up on copier. With the exception of minor punctuation to make easier reading, the reproduction is exactly the way written by the author.
