Scope and Contents

This is a typewritten copy of the original diary of John McLaws, Jr. The spelling and other markings are reproduced as nearly like the original as is possible in a typewritten copy. The original from which this copy was made is a ledger-type book with a label "Journal" on the back. The original is now in the possession of J. W. McLaws, of Holbrook, Arizona, who loaned the diary to have this copy made. This diary focuses mainly on the life of John McLaws and family while in Joseph City, Arizona. He was called on the first Arizona mission in 1876 and remained there until the Little Colorado Stake was dissolved in July 1891. He then moved to Holbrook and worked in the Holbrook Store. Included in the diary is a detailed table of contents and a complete name list. Bound volume. 237 pages.
