My album open come and see what
Want you waste a line on me
Write a thought a word or two
That memory may revert to you.
H. Z. Price

As half in shade and half in sun
This world from its path adversities
Oh may that side the sun shine on
That ever meets the glance
May time who cast his blight on all and daily
Drowns some joy to death
On the let year so gently fall
They shall not crush on flower beneath.
H. W.

H.Z. Price
Remember while love is sweet
Remember me until we meet
Foe you I love and shall forever
You may change but I will never.
H. W.

Single signature: T. T. Price on facing page

May heaven it's choicest bliss may send
To cheer thy days my dear
May happiness be friends
Them a beauteous store
With health forever at your door
May be blessed with mind serene
To see what is and what has been
Nothing be wanting the good may want
All this and more may heaven send.

I thought I thought
I thought in vain
At last I thought
I would write my name.
A. J. Price

Where er you roam along the brink
Of life's beautiful stream
As it flows through the vale
Or the champion wide
What in your book won't you hide
May charity bid your thirst
That you had done the best you knew.
(very faded) T. B. ? (unreadable)

Sweet is the time of Spring
When Natures charms offers
The birds with ceaseless pleasure sings
And hail the opening year
When this you see, remember me.
M. E. Tillery

Mr. Price
I love Thee
Why I can not tell a thousand nameless winning ways
Around Thee weaves their magic spell and
Makes words poor to speak Thy praise.
When the golden sun is setting and
The birds are flying free
When a thousand thoughts you are thinking
Will you sometimes think of me.
M. E. Tyler
(My GG grandmother Mary Ellen Tyler Price)

Mr Zeph
When you get mad and can't take a joke
Just light your pipe and take a smoke (underlined)
M. H.
Remember love and bare in mind
A true friend is hard to find.
M. H.
This may be Minnie Hughs.

Mr. Price
One word on thought
One line please send
To cheer your youthful
Constant friend.
Elmer Lide

Lost for the want of a little care many
Many a blossom of love and trust borne
That word have been wonders
Fair wither and crumble away to dust.
E. D. Lide

Mr Zeph
Sweet is the warbling of the birds
The perfume of the flowers
May waken in our memory
Some by gone happy hour
A strain of museck may recall
The long forgotten past
The hopes the dreams of vanished years
To dear to bright to last.
M. E. Tyler
(My GG grandmother Mary Ellen Tyler Price)

Same writing on next page.

What danger is the Pilgrim in
How many are his foes
How many ways are there to sin
No living mortal knows
Same in the ditch are spoiled
You can lie tumbling in the mire
Some though, they shun the frying pan
To leap into the fire.

Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.

If this old book gets out of the trace
Saddle it up and ride it back

I will try and write my name

Ask me no questions
I'll tell you no lys (as written)
Come to my house and
I'll feed you on pies.

Just as sure as the vine grows up the wall
I am going to be married before you fall.
