Microfilm of a diary kept by Lorenzo Dow Smith primarily from 1886-1888. The opening pages include a description of the Kirtland Temple and assorted diary entries from 1881 and 1885. Most of Young's diary entries focus on his poor health, the weather, attending Temple services, and visiting friends and family in Salt Lake City. He specifically mentions Franklin Richards, Eliza Roxcy Snow, and Feramorz Little, in addition to his many meetings with his brothers, sons, and nephews. He also mentions events surrounding the 40th anniversary of the first pioneer party to Utah, includes a list of donations made to help Franklin W. Young research Young family genealogy, and records the deaths of his wife Hannah and son Brigham (1860-1887). At the end of the volume is a short family record and brief autobiography by Young, recorded in 1887.
