Friendship Book of Madge Sellers
Friend Mary W. Akinson (Atkinson) added entries for
3 and 4 January 1902.
On the 3rd Akinson posted an image of historic Buckingham Meeting House
in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
It was built in 1768 and the image is from 1900.
I have added an current image below.

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.
Finding a Car
I am writing a biography about architect Richard Kletting.
My co-author is historian and architect Allen Roberts.
As I am researching the best photos to include in the book
I took a close look at a Utah State Historical Society view of
the Felt building in Salt Lake City (1910).
Kletting moved his office to this building, that he designed
in 1909. A closeup of the street in front of the building
showed some cars and bicycles parked.
