Anna Elizabeth Moon's ‘Autograph’ Book

It was Christmas Day 1915 when Anna (1899-1968) received this little book from her mother. Anna, in her final year of schooling in the one-room schoolhouse at White Lake Corners NY, commenced to have her female schoolmates sign her book-perhaps the boys declined or were not invited... Autographs continued through 1921, but in 1933 it

seems Anna was reminiscing in her little book with a friend who found an opening on page 39 and added her name there.

On the final page Anna herself wrote . . .

The last leaf unspotted

The last of the book

All alone by its lonely

Where no one would look

I pitied its loneliness

And happened to think

How funny 'twould look

All covered with ink

-Shakespeare.
