The diaries of Artie Lee Foster are contributed by her niece Debbi Cooper.

In these journal entries you will find deaths, marriages and day to day details of living in Casey County that you may not find anywhere else. The entries date back to 1932. Artie Lee, married Finley Foster of Casey County and died in
1990 at the age of 86....... these journal entries are typed as she had written them, with her spelling and expressions. Like us, some of her days were more eventful then others, but it seems there were always  people around!
So take a trip back in time and visit a slower gentler way of life... Enjoy!!
