Mary Butman Sargent faithfully kept a journal for close to a decade. My father, my aunt and myself have been involved in transcribing her "Line a Day" journal so that her grandchildren to great-great-great grandchildren can have a sense of what life was like for the Sargent family in Alton, Maine in the early 1900's.

Mary Butman Sargent is pictured above with her children and her husband, Joshua Sargent. Much of her journal reports the activities of her sons in their business, and her daughters in their work. It is clear from her journal that Mary's family were very hard workers.

  1. I'm  here to share my testimony of what a good trusted loan company did for me. My name is Nikita Tanya, from Russian and I’m a lovely mother of 3 kids I lost my funds on trying to get a loan it was so hard for me and my children, I went online to seek for a loan assistance  all hope was lost until one faithful day when I met this friend of mine who recently secured a loan from Le_Meridian Funding Service She introduced me to this honest loan company who helped me get a loan in within 5 working days, I will forever be grateful to Mr Benjamin, for helping me get back on feet again. You can contact Mr Benjamin via email: lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com, they do not know I’m doing this for them, but i just have to do it because a lot of people are out there who are in need of a loan assistance  please come to this company and be saved.WhatsApp:(+1 989-394-3740)
