Description
An autograph book owned by Annie B. Hastings in the 1880s, used as a high school yearbook to collect notes from classmates. Annie was born in 1871 and married Ernest Jordan. Annie and Ernest were grandparents to Old Town local Edith Jordan Huntley Merrill. Due to its fragility, the yearbook cannot be transcribed in its entirety, but a sample note reads, "Sincerely your friend, Ethel F. Hunton, Milford, Maine, Jan 18, 1885." The book cover is brown cloth embossed with a white lily.
