Scope and content
Incomplete, photocopied German-language diaries with partial translations, a notebook, and related papers, 1886-1920, kept by a Plum City, Pierce County, Wisconsin, area farmer primarily concerning agricultural activities, financial matters, and family health.
A Swiss immigrant in 1866, Staehli recorded his activities prior to and while farming near Pittsville, Wood County, 1879-1892, and then while living near Plum City, 1895-1899 and 1904-1911. Linguistically interesting is Staehli's use of conservative spelling and German script and his gradual conversion to using English.
