Scrapbooking in the Early 1900s

One of the favorite pastimes of young ladies in the early 1900s must have been to collect fancy artwork from cigar and candy boxes or calendars and put them in a scrapbook. Here are three darling examples from the scrapbook of Maggie Ericksen Peel. Carrie Nielsen also collected postcards and valentines. We have already shown some of her collection. We'll show more of hers at a later time.

Another of Alice Hafen's Class Reunion

This is another of Alice Hafen's Class Reunion pictures. This one was taken with the spouses, and it was held at Snow College. I am not going to try to identify these people by name as there are too many. Alice's eyes are going bad and it is hard for her to recognize everyone. If you are familiar with anyone and can help identify them, please do.
