Correspondence & diaries
Angeline S. Andrews

One volume diary for the years October 1859 to January 1865. 125 pages. Opens with the experiences of a lonely Angeline Andrews in Waukon, Iowa, whose husband, John N. Andrews, was gone on a several month preaching itinerary through New England. Primary source documents of early Adventist workers are quite rare, but those by the wives who had to stay home are even rarer and thus of more interest to researchers.
