Jeanine Wine, Archivist, Manchester College called Jan Fishers, owner of Fishers's Antiques and Jan recognized the diary and the "box lot" it was a part of. The diary was part of a box lot sold in Goshen, Indiana...it traveled to the antique store in Shipshewanna, Indiana...was purchased by Thomas Hamm...and then was donated to the Archives at Manchester College.
Teacher, Glenna Blosser Andrews, had been a big fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder and had traveled to the WIlder museum in North Dakota and had collected newspaper clippings and items purchased from the Wilder museum. The box lot contained much of the WIlder collection as well as the Blosser diary. It is through this association that Jan had remembered this particular box lot.
