Autographs from the 1930s

I came across these little pages written by my grandparents. I don’t know what they’re from - looks like a book of some kind - perhaps they were autographing each others’ something or other. Anyway, this would be before they were married. It’s encouraging to come across little things like this and to be reminded of a godly heritage.

The quotation from my grandmother, Isbell, was from a poem by Annie Johnson Flint (see Isaiah 43:2). You can read the rest of the poem, When Thou Passeth Through The Waters. The second is a Bible verse - Philippians 3:7. The writing is small, but you can click on it to see a larger copy in our Photo Gallery.

    Yes - back in the days before they just had to pick a “font”! ;-)
