Long shot, but I purchasedthis Line-A-Day journal (see link for photos) at a flea market in Sacramento, CA a few years back. I would love to give it to owner’s family, if they’re out there.

The journal appears to be from a woman named Faith Clark who lived in Boston and traveled to Europe in 1921 and 1922. It documents her life from 1920-1924; she was active in the Rotary Club and attended college. She was a frequent traveler to many places on the East coast and seems to have worked in a law office. Pretty badass lady, actually.

Would love any leads; feel free to reach out!

ETA: The genealogy sub really hit it out of the park, thanks for the suggestion! Name was Amy Faith Clark, she graduated from Smith College in 1910 and worked as a social worker. She took over a dozen trips to Europe in her lifetime including one at the start of the First World War. She had one brother who had two children; I’ll be doing some more research to see if there is any surviving family. Thanks, all!

ETA again: Thanks to the genealogy sub recommended here, the journal is on its way to Faith Clark’s grand-niece. It’s over 100 years old and really belongs with the family. Thanks again!

Thanks for this suggestion - I edited the post to include some info that I was able to get from that sub.

Does she mention which college? I’d go straight to their alumni office.

Smith College. Great idea!

Your post appears to be one of a number of commonly asked questions about the port city of Boston. Anyway, Royale is fine if you're just trying to get drunk and dance and hookup. The Grand is more of the same as Royale but more expensive and a stricter dress code. Bijou is fine if you're into house music, the last few times I've been to Bijou the crowd was mostly freshly 21 people. Legacy is under Royale and a pretty great queer club if that's you're thing. Good Life, Phoenix Landing, Middlesex, and The Lower Level are all great for underground shows if that's your thing. The vibes at those 4 places are all pretty good. Good Life is my favorite and they open back up this weekend. If you're just looking to get trashed and don't care what you dance to or who you dance around, any of the bars around Haymarket/Faneuil Hall will do. Ned Devine's, Hennessey's, Hong Kong ($1 chicken sticks!), Sissy K's, Coogan's. I think there's a few more I'm missing but those are the big ones. Also, I can't believe I forgot this, but if you're into top 40 or hip hop, Venu, Cure, Icon, and Hava are places to go if you're looking for something a little nicer/fancier/more upscale than what the Faneuil Hall/Haymarket bars and clubs offer. I also forgot about Memoire because it's in the casino but frankly I don't really know anyone who goes to Memoire regularly. It's more of the same stuff they play at the Grand and Royale. Now I think I've named them all. Also, please check the sidebar for visitor information.

Admittedly, I did not use the search function 🙄
