Diary of John Q. Cannon, 1881.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/777027913

Carbon copy typescript of a diary kept by John Q. Cannon in 1881. The majority of the entries focus on Cannon's daily farm work and the activities and illnesses of his neighbors and relatives. Cannon also remarks on his work at proofreading, writing reviews of plays, getting news of James Garfield's election into the paper, and his father George Q. Cannon's difficulties in obtaining citizenship because there was no official record of his naturalization and "being a polygamist he cannot now become a citizen." The diary also covers his mission trip to England beginning in August 1881, and with particular reference to his search for possible relatives.
