Lucilla's World: this week in 1876
About the Diarist
Lucilla M. Beebe lived on a farm in Ludlow, a small town 8 miles from Springfield, MA. She lived with her mother, Charlotte Lougee Beebe, her father Andrew Beebe, her younger sister Charlotte, whom she always calls "L" in the diaries (presumably for "Lottie"), and her 18 year old brother William, "Will", "W." or "Willie." Lucilla was 25 years old when she wrote this diary.

Lucilla enjoyed singing school, going to Sunday meeting, and daily visits with friends and family, who included the Fullers, Bennetts, Severances, and many others.
