Gooch family diaries
Scope and Contents
Gooch family diaries, 1909-1963 (not consecutive), .07 cubic feet, consists of fifteen diaries, some from Ellen Brooks (Aunt of Uly Harrison Gooch) when she was a young girl. She describes her work as a nurse (treating a man with face cancer) at the Earl Hopkins Institute in Washington D. C. and missing her family, and friends. The later diaries are from Uly Harrison Gooch while he was a student at St. Paul's School in Baltimore, MD. It is not clear who the last diary is from but it seems to be someone in the family as she is mostly taking care of Uly's Aunt Clara G. Brooks and Clara's husband Uly T. Brooks.
