Frank H. Mullis
During the summer and autumn of 1905, eighteen year old Frank H. Mullis of Friday Harbor kept a journal. Here are a few excerpts from September 1905.
Sept 11, 1905 – I picked pears in the morning. After dinner I hitched up the rig and mama and I went for a drive. We went to the south end of the Island, where Roy and I went last Saturday. I would not have gone all the way if I had not left the halter out there Saturday and so went all the way and got it back. Mr. Holl came home today so the rig went back in the evening. Mama and I had a very enjoyable time. The view was just grand from some places. I never saw such a beautiful view of Mt. Baker as I did today.
Sept 15, 1905 – I picked apples in the morning and helped mama and Ella put up fruit most of the afternoon. I also made some fine cider.

I love this. Keep them coming. There is something so nice about sharing a common moment with someone from the past. After all, this could be our Autumn day as well.
