    3. I've "rescued" an old autograph album which appears to have belonged to Miss Annie M. E. BRIERLY of Worcester, Massachusetts. The album includes entries from both family and friends dating from 1892 to 1897 and includes both a photograph of Annie and her funeral notice. Entries in the album are as follows: Miss Annie M. E.
