Sharing "Common-Place: Tales from the Vault" about Sylvia Lewis Tyler buried at the Vienna Township Center Cemetery in Trumbull County, Ohio.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!!

To help celebrate the brand new year, I thought I would share an account about a 30 year diary and its author that was the subject of story by Alden O'Brien in her Tales from the Vault

Sylvia Lewis Tyler, the author of the diary, also has a memorial posted for her on "Find A Grave" that lists the names of her children.

If you are up for a good read this last day of the old year that just might hold your interest enough to extend into your new year, may I suggest settling down with this story.  You may be prompted to add your own comments to the others already posted about it when you are finished.
