Joseph Small's Diary of Burgeo - Written in 1925.

Joseph H. Small (1847 - 1933) Joseph Small was originally from Truro, Cape Cod, MA, USA. He came to Burgeo in the 1860's with his father, to run the buisness of Bowery and Small. In 1925 he took upon the task to write this his "Diary of Burgeo". Small was also the enumerator for the 1921 census of Burgeo and in 1921 an Insurance Salesman. For ease of viewing, I have reformatted this Diary to suit the internet and have broken it out into sections and have added personal notes designated [*]. Part I, Misc. Information, Introduction Settlement of Burgeo. Merchantile Establishments of Burgeo. Burgeo's Clergymen and Churches. Customs Officers, Doctors, and Magistrates of Burgeo.
