Which Reminds Me

In the diaries we see that great-grandmother greatly valued her friendship with Anna Beall. Many visits back and forth are recorded in the diaries, even a trip to Susan, a city way up in Northern California where the Beall family had moved. Even though there is no explanation of how they met in the first place, some clues indicate their friendship might date back to before they moved to California in 1900 but I really don't know. I don't see any evidence of the Bealls being related to us, however. They were maybe her friends from back in Ohio or Pennsylvania or somewhere but I really never knew these people existed until I read the diaries.
