{There is a mathematical calculation written on the bottom of the left hand page.}
{The page on the right hand side is the back cover of the diary. It is filled with numerous mathematical
calculations and a few drawings of triangles. The latitude of Toronto (43°. 39'.35" N) is prominently written
at the top of the page. The text on this page is written in both ink and pencil, though it appears that there
was an attempt to erase some of the writing done in pencil.}

books. Conversion should fit them for active christian work. - rather teach practical
working. have much good people here &c
One. Want of interest of parents a great drawback to teaching. Must convert parents
first. I think that beyond the province of Teachers.

Adeline’s Journal
Introduction
Robert Mathers and Susan (Patterson) Mathers were the parents of George,
Thomas, Jane, John, Anne & Susan (twins), Adeline & Rebecca (twins) and Henry.
They raised their family in a log house on lot 17 concession 2 on Morris township.
Susan (Patterson) Mathers died in 1905.
Adeline became severally crippled from rheumatoid arthritis in 1899 when she
was a mere twenty -four years old.
Henry married Ellen Owens in1909 and bought the farm next door to his father &
sisters. In 1920, at the age of 32, Ellen died of cancer and left two small children
Melville age nine and Charlie only two years old. Jane, Ann, Adeline and their
father moved in with Henry to help manage the house and raise the boys.
Two years later in 1922, when Robert died, he left his farm and a mortgage of
$2400 to his daughters Jane & Anne who were taking care of Adeline. In 1924
Thomas sued his sisters Jane & Ann for a share of his father’s heavily mortgaged
