ref. 020860No Place: John Mann Printer. Wraps. Good. No place or date perhaps Dover NH circa 1827 according to New Hampshire Historical Society information. Plain blue wraps. 12 pp. Rules and regulations for a private firefighting organization made up of community members in Dover New Hampshire. As Dover did not have a city supported firefighting unit social groups were formed to handle the duties. The first one was formed in 1795 and this appears to be one of several others formed after that. The piece outlines rules of governance but also outlines duties of its members including keeping two leather buckets and bags at their residences and responding to fires as soon as possible. Like any good "society" in the 1800s it appears this had a secret "watch" word that members were to give when asked for. Since there were several organizations in operation at the time rivalries were developed and it is possible this secret word kept people honest. A roster of members is included at the end with some names handwritten. GOOD condition. Rear cover and last leaf with a one inch jagged tear at the upper for edge with some associated creasing. Minor ink staining and soiling to the covers. Some dampstaining present to the wrappers with minor soiling and uneven fading. A few tick marks in the text. John Mann, Printer unknown

The fabric is mounted by metal fasteners. Laid in is a certificate issued in 1918 from the Victory Girls and the United War Work Campaign certifying that Ms. Conaway paid a dollar toward the United War Work Campaign and was deemed an official Victory Girl. This campaign was created as a way for people in the US to support troops during World War I. Presumably the booklet was done for school demonstrating the variety of sewing and stitching techniques that was being taught. POOR condition. Booklet falling apart with all leaves detached and cover detached. Lacking a rear cover. The paper mountings are toned and brittle with some chipping and loss along the edges. The fabrics are clean although some are folded due to mishandling. No publisher unknown

1919ref. 019692St. Joseph MO: Progressive Numbers presumed Publisher 1919. Unbound. Good. Single sheet folded into 4 pages making a small booklet. Printed on card stock.

The event started at 8:45 pm with food served promptly at 9:30. The invocation was led by Reverend E.M. Cohron and it appears the poem "At the Closed Gates of Justice" by James D. Corrothers was read cited by its first line "To be a Negro on a Day Like This." Another address "Where Ethiopia Should Stretch Forth Her Hands" was also given. Honorary members of Progressive Numbers are listed including Rev. J.A. Gregg Richard B. Harrison and Clarence Cameron White. List of last names and first initials of 12 members also present.

ref. 022370No Place: No publisher. Wraps. Very Good. String tied oblong format album with black and white photos tipped in with corner triangles. Black paper with photos nicely captioned with names and descriptions of locations or actions from time to time. Apparently from the collection of Ralph Adelbert Young. The photos depict trips to the Moosehill Bird Sanctuary in Sharon. Massachusetts several different summers at a "Camp Squanto" a trip to Chatham a trip to a cottage at Great Hill a hiking trip to Twin Bridges winter hiking swimming etc. The friend group was a mix of late teenage boys and girls. Approximately 50 to 75 photos. About VERY GOOD condition. Minor fading scuffing and edgewear to the covers. A few photos now loose with a couple missing. No publisher unknown
ref. 021455No Place: No publisher. Hard Cover. Very Good. Oblong format old photo album. 30 leaves with photographs on both sides. Each page averages around 10 photographs per page so we estimate there are around 600 photographs total give or take a few. This photo album belonged to Lillian F. Jones nee Geary and depicts her friends and family at a variety of locations. Names of many of the people were added underneath at a much later date as indicated at the front of the album. Two handwritten leaves provide a "Who's Who" of the people included mentioning their relationships to others etc. Of particular note perhaps is one page devoted to photos of several young women in suffragette "costume" and holding small hand signs that say "votes for women" or "we vote next year." One of the latter also has the initials "NIT" in quotes. Another woman holds a sign reading "Officer Call a Cop." This was the title of a 1917 short film although we could find no reason to associate this with suffrage for or against. In the images the women are adopting clownish poses and it appears they have purposely blacked out a tooth or two and added moles. Because of this we feel that these women may be anti-suffrage. One photograph depicts a young man pulling on the hat of a young woman holding a sign. Other photographs depict young men and women swimming or posing at the beach at Brant Rock in Massachusetts. Several other pages chronicle two young women apparently visiting Provincetown Massachusetts swimming etc. Other photos are of Cushing Maine etc. Photo album is in VERY GOOD condition. Very little wear to the photos. Most are glued in and a few have detached. Minor toning to the photos. Photo quality is good and the shots are well done as is the layout. No publisher unknown
1888ref. 019424Rhode Island: WCTU Rhode Island Publisher 1888. Unbound. Good. Cream colored silk ribbon with purple printing and fringed ends. With a sewn fold over flap at the top. About 6 ½ by 2 1/8 inches. A ribbon issued by the Women's Christian Temperance Union WCTU of Rhode Island reading "W.C.T.U. of Rhode Island. State Convention at Providence Sept. 18-19-20 1888.Greetings Remembrance. Compliments of Providence Union" Presumably issued for its annual convention. The Women's Christian Temperance Union was founded in Ohio in 1874 with the principal goal of promoting temperance through religious moral and other methods. It eventually expanded its mission to include social reform such as suffrage child labor etc. The Rhode Island chapter was successful in helping to pass a prohibition law in the state in 1886 although it was repealed in 1889. GOOD condition. Minor toning and curling with light soiling and staining. WCTU Rhode Island, Publisher unknown
1918ref. 021403No Place: No publisher 1918. Cloth. Good. World War I Hospital/Medical Worker Diary. 1918 France. In a Daily Reminder Calendar for 1918. Red cloth. 365 pp. one for each day of the year. No name/author given. Some entries rather faded and most written in pencil. Handwriting is sometimes illegible. We speculate the author may have been an officer in the AEF as many of their entries refer to daily inspections and they reference an officer training drill in one entry. Many entries also refer to lieutenants majors and other officers although very rarely giving names instead using a single initial. It appears they were part of the AEF's hospital unit with mention of being at a frontline ambulance medical facility run by French forces and called Ambulance de Bois Roger see Feb. 12. First entry for January 1st indicates the author was in Langres France with the AEF American Expeditionary Force and mentions that school is out and he took a walk. They describe waiting for orders eventually being moved to Liffol-le-grand and Camp Hospital 18 for the month of January. By Early February entries are from Field Hospital 101. A hand drawn map/plan of Ambulance de Bois Roger appears on February 12. They describe setting up a triage with plan. On February 17 "considerable artillery to the east" is mentioned and the author as well as their going to an abandoned trench on the ridge. German biplanes are referred to using the French term avion boche. Boche was a derogatory term for Germans and the word appears off and on in entries going forward including March 8th where it states "Some boche in the air." They also mention that two were killed. By April the author is back at Camp Hospital 18 another map/plan of the facility appears and Field Hospital 101. Entries pretty much cease by April 23 with a few scattered entries short a few long" through the rest of the book. In general the diarist discusses basic day to day operations at the various medical facilities as well as planning interactions with others basic orders etc. GOOD condition. Residue/staining on the front cover. General fading. Minor soiling and edgewear. Some bumping. No publisher unknown
