Scope and Contents

Journals of the Girls' Industrial Home, a reform school in White Sulphur, Delaware County, Ohio, 1894-1895. Recorded are daily transactions at the school, from chores and meals to visits of the chaplain and board members. The journal documents predominantly the management and administration of the reform school. Occasionally it mentions the arrivals of new girls. Also documented are arrangements for holiday meals and entertainment, supplies ordered, crockery broken, gifts received.A few pages in the front and toward the back of the journal were used in the years 1924-1929 and 1946 as a farm journal or diary for "Hillcrest," most likely in the same area, as a wedding in Rome, Delaware County is mentioned.
