Abstract:
The second in a series of three articles, this segment addresses the life of Daniel Reid between February and April, 1896. Daily diary entries from Reid provide insight into clerical duties and family life outside of the Church. As a local Methodist minister, Reid was required to travel locally for work and his writing documents many interactions with local communities. Due to their location in southeast North Carolina, Reid and his family also dealt extensively with malaria which is an on-going theme in the accounts.
