I recently acquired a 1935 weekly memo calendar that was used as a journal by someone who presumably lived in or near Van Wert, OH, since it was an advertising calendar from Carper & Hall Lumber Company in Van Wert.

While it is mostly a delightful snapshot of life (example: "July 31, Very hot. O & I went over to B's boys made hay. I got brown dress fitted. Chris Lewis buried today. Harry and Lula Hablitzel here in eve.") it also has many names scattered throughout that I'm guessing may be of interest to folks researching family in this area.

I'm willing to transcribe the journal into a document so that it could be posted somewhere and therefor searchable, but I have no idea where to post something like this.

So if anyone has a suggestions as to where I could post it that would allow folks to find it who are searching on the internet for people named in that calendar, or where folks specifically researching families from Van Wert might find it, I will go ahead and transcribe it and make it available. I will probably both transcribe and scan it, so that people can see the original just in case I made a transcription error.

FYI, the surnames listed below are just some of those mentioned in this journal.
