The following was found written in a scrapbook that was donated to the Chautauqua County Kansas Historical and Genealogical Society. I liked it alot, I hope you do to. It is typed just as it was written. A Box Of Memories My New Years Resolution Was to go through ever trunk, Each bureau drawer and closet, To get rid of all the Junk Accumalated through the years and carefully stored away The silly useless things That seldom saw the light of day I started in by tackling A box of odds and ends snapshots of my childhood, Letters from old friends, Pressed flowers from my first corsage Cimpleat with rusty pin A high-school yearbook with my name and smiling picture in. A entry in my diary That proved beyond a doubt I'd met the man I really loved and couldn't live without A clipping from the local press The day that we were wed The prayer book that carried when my marriage vows were said. A flaxen curl, a baby tooth A favorite bedtime toy From way back when our grown up son was just a little boy Silly, useless things. That seldom saw the light of day Yet I couldn't for the life of me Throw one of them away! -Author Unknown
