Collection — Folder: S2498
Identifier: S2498
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of photocopied pages from Sarah Ann's autograph book while she was a student at the Friends' Boarding School from 1850 to 1852. Each of the students who wrote in her book signed their name, town, and date of entry. Mary M. Henley wrote: "May each season of this changeful life come frought to thee with some new blessings richer than that which has gone by, and the tides of thy early sensations as they subside in the truths of experience give place to these enjoyments which wisdom and virtue alone can confer." Seth Brown wrote: "There is not in this life of ours one bliss unmixed with fears; the hope that wakes our deepest powers; a face of sadness wears; and the dew that showers over dearest flowers is the bitter dew of tears." Benjamin Morgan wrote: "May life be like a summer tide to you and others by your side. May every blessing be your lot, I ask of you forget me not."
