William C. Welker Diaries
Seventy-five volumes of pocket-size personal diaries of Welker. Because the volumes are multiple-day per-page type, the entries are brief, usually giving weather, some information about his work in the Youngstown area, and/or something about what he did at home. There is no volume 67; entires for this year are at the end of vols. 65 and 66. Some volumes contain a month by month record of his expenses, and a few have addresses. A random sampling shows an absence of references to his wife and children, or local or national current events.
