Brief Description
The New Zealand Rough Diary No. 3, 1914 belonged to Maria (known as Patty) Webb. The details of the diary record the family's daily routine at Ormondville, family members: son Edmond and daughters Edith, Annie, Elizabeth, Dora and Alice. The family was very involved in Anglican church activities and information is part of the content. Visitors are listed and daily comings and goings of the community. Each day the weather is described, as is the well-being of Maria, who is elderly and unwell. Small snippets of information are tantalisingly given such as on 24 April: Mrs Smith is very bad, an internal abscess has broken. She has to be douched 3 times a day the doctor says & Edith undertakes it.
In the front of the diary is printed information about New Zealand postal regulations, phases of the moon, Post Office Savings Bank, telegrams, the Government Cabinet, the Legislative Council, Government Departments, Government Acts, Elections of Local Bodies and Births, Deaths and Marriages.
