Feb 17, 1900 (Grandpa’s life on that day from his diary):
Snowed all day. Was at Scalp (a coal mining village of 200 souls in the hills of southern PA mountains 10 miles from home) two times in forenoon. Bought 2 3/4 lbs. chuck roast a 10 cents — 28 cents 16 pounds sugar – $1.00 and 2 lbs rice at 8 cents = 16 cents . Edward and Noah Ripple were here for dinner. Afternoon Ed, Dorthy Lambert and I went to Windber and came in on the train. Paid 4 cents for ticket. Fixed my shoe in forenoon. Mailed a letter to Anne Brubaker. I ironed 2 shirts, a pair of cuffs, and a collar.
