Ada is twenty-one and living on her parents farm.  She refers to her “Ma” and “Pap” a lot.   Like many young farm women who are between school and marriage, she works around the neighbourhood helping other women prepare large meals for the threshers.  She writes mainly of helping others – and church-related events.  The Curries were Disciples of Christ and as such believed that the purity and unity of all Christians could be restored only by following the clear directions of the New Testament.
