Diaries of Adelia Goble: A Maid’s View of Point Pleasant NJ 1902-1905

December 23, 2021 By

$15.00

By Adelia Goble:  This is a 2000 Ocean County Historical Society publication.  If you have ever wondered what the life of a servant was like, this book will answer all of your questions.  The book contains Adelia Goble’s personal writing about her life as a maid for Presbyterian Minister Rev. Spencer C. Dickson and his family from 1902 to 1908.  Some of her diary’s entries are harsh, but the reader will come away with a better sense of the life of a servant in the beginning of the twentieth century.
