This ledger contains Tobias Schantz's business and personal accounts for several periods, 1865-1869, 1873-1879. Part of the ledger is filled with lists of orders taken for books between 1893 and 1898, and orders taken for nursery stock from E.D. Smith, ca. 1895, from Stone and Wellington, 1901-1902 and from J.N. Wismer. Unused space in the first part of the ledger is filled in with closely-written diary entries for 1871-1872 in which Tobias recounts his daily routine. Lists of family information, including birth dates, places, naming, school beginnings, etc. appear on p. 44-45 and [64]. Other notes appear at random, including receipts, lists of hens set and poultry weights, copies of business letters, and "Cost of Church Trial" [this last found near the end of the ledger] dated 1895. Several items are laid into this ledger, including maps of Cuba, an engraving, a seed catalogue cover, a clipping, and an assessment notice to T. Schantz dated 1899.

One of a series of daybooks kept by Tobias Schantz containing personal and business accounts, calls made, orders taken, diary entries, notes to self, recipes, family information and more in one chronological sequence. Includes a transcription[?] of the "Family Register" starting with Isaac Schantz in 1774. Also notes: " Cousin Benjamin Shantz started for the North West on Monday 13 March, 1893. Cousin Benjamin Erb with Family started for the North West on Tuesday 14th March 1893. Moved. 15-3-93 Very Cold and Stormy. Walked from Dundee to Mannheim, to Petersburg & home, froze ear and tips of fingers..

Leather covered notebook used as a diary. Entries begin May 9th, 1867 during Tobias' trip on the American prairie and continue through his return to Canada. Tobias likely copied from this notebook into the diary which contains entries for the same time period. This book has been written in also by a child, possibly Florence Annie Catherine Schantz.

Diary entries begin with March 8, 1867, but this whole section is marked cancelled and is re-copied starting April 8, 1867. It begins with a record of Tobias' trip to Missouri to see his father, leaving his wife Mary Schantz (nee Moyer) with their 3-year old son Orpheus and new baby Etta, born the previous October. Tobias' father Benjamin with his second wife Margaret and children had gone to homestead near Wellville, west of St. Louis, in 1866. Tobias records his impressions of the countryside, the people, the prospects, the discouragement of all but his father with life in Missouri (March 17th). On July 2 he returns to Canada to where he is then living (near "Campden" --Grimsby within walking distance.) Throughout the diary Tobias records the weather and a daily health bulletin, letters sent and received, as well as his daily reading. He goes through periods of recording his meals. Tobias also lists all the work he does every day. He mentions setting the water for porridge, making the bed, polishing his son's shoes, carrying the baby to church, etc. On Nov. 9 he took a bath, on Nov. 25 he "did not sleep short of midnight. Was talking with Mary about my thought, troubles about religion ...". All parts of the diary have been filled with writing, dating as far as 1889 -- some accounts, recipes both household and medical (many give source), a record of the family tree -- births, marriages, deaths, transcribed songs, and an account probably written in Conestogo ca. 1875 of his spiritual trials and tribulations dating from 1862 and his efforts to achieve inner peace. This account is continued in the "other book," although it is not clear what book this referred to.
