Mary Johnson Link-Hester kept a diary from 1907 to 1951. Her journal contains valuable information for those researching in Sumner County. She records births, deaths, marriages, etc.

No attempt was made to correct her spelling. For privacy reasons if Mary notes a death was by suicide I did not included that notation.

I hope you enjoy Mary's diary as much as I do!
