Diaries

Mother Mary Cecilia Bailly: April 14, 1865

Good Friday. President Lincoln is assassinated! This awful deed was committed in the theatre, he was shot in the head. He did not die on the spot, he lived till the next morning.

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.
