Margaret Garrett Seller's 1902 Friendship Album

 Margaret Garrett Seller's 1902 Friendship Album

I collect interesting autography books of the past.
Although this book isn't an autograph book as such,
it is a friendship album.

I will share each day of Margaret's 1902 album through the year.
Just a bit of background on her. Her nickname was Madge.
She was the daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Taylor Sellers
was born in in April 1869.
She and her family members and many of her friends were Quaker.
She was living in Delaware County, Pennsylvania when she kept her album.

This is an "introduction" to the album and the first and second of
January 1902 entries.

I'm not sure who the author of the "introduction" is
however Marge wrote the first two of the year,
quoting poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
