Mother Mary Cecilia Bailly: February 24, 1863

Our wood chopper, Henry Howe, being a runaway soldier, four soldiers came to seize him on the ground where he was chopping, and carried him off.

In the Sisters of Providence Archives there is a bound transcription of the diary of General Superior Mother Mary Cecilia Bailly. She served as general superior after the death of Mother Theodore Guerin in 1856 until 1868, covering the turbulent years of the Civil War, 1861-1865. The diary consists of entries about the day-to-day activities of Mother Mary Cecilia, the Congregation and local and national happenings. Some entries are very short — one sentence — while others are more detailed.
