Mrs. Pounds' Triplets and The Third Geological Report of Kentucky

Why, oh why, is she posting this?




Somewhat interesting on the outside . . . not sure about the inside


Someone else didn't think it very interesting either.  They tried to spruce it up a bit


and made it their scrapbook.  (I wonder if they are related to Johnny Depp.)


Another great use for thread.



Roughly the above says:
"Accept these lovely fragrant flowers
Just culled this eve by me
From off the pretty laden bows
I selected them for thee.

"And for this little token I ask
A single vow of thee
That it may be a pleasant task
Sometimes, sometimes to think of me."



Admittedly, I was a little repulsed by these locks of hair.



A story of Mrs. Pounds' Triplets,
Lulu, Luther, and Lura.
Born in September 1881, they attracted visitors every day to their home for a year or more.  Mrs. Pounds was quoted "Why, the people did not even allow me one day in the week to do my washing."


And a Bible lesson from May 1890


Causes and treatment of bilious and nervous headaches.




Obituaries . . .


and marriages . . . 


I wonder what W. H. Depp would think of our modern scrapbooks?
