It
remains to be seen, but I suspect 1894 was an eventful year for my ancestor,
Edward Israel Rich. My great-grandfather was born 9 April 1868, in Paris, Bear Lake area, Idaho. My memories of him are associated with family visits to the retired medical doctor, over 90 years old, enjoying life in Ogden, Utah.
I
credit “the generous support of the descendants of the Rich family” and the
careful curation of “the Special Collections Department, Stewart Library, Weber
State University” for making the diaries of Edward & Almira Rich available for generations.
