1858-1861 Autograph Album of Emily C. White of Londonderry, New Hampshire; future wife of Samuel Dean Leavitt of Eastport, Maine


Reprinted, with permission, from the Heirlooms Reunited blog

1858-1861 autograph album of Emily C. White of Londonderry, New Hampshire, given to her by her brother Henry Harrison White.  Emily Colby White Leavitt (1835-1921)


On August 7, 1860, Emily would marry inscriber Samuel Dean Leavitt, a fellow student at Franklin Academy, and move to Samuel's hometown of Eastport, Maine, where at least one of the autographs was acquired.

The album measures approximately 8-1/4" by 7" and contains the sentiments of 27 of Emily's relatives, friends and schoolmates.  An alphabetical surname list and an alphabetical list of the inscribers, together with any personal information they offered, appear at the end of this post.

The album, published by Leavitt & Allen of New York City, also contains five full page engravings, in addition to that on the title page.


Below, a cabinet photograph of Emily in middle age, taken by the Loring studio of Eastport, Maine.


From brief online research, hopefully correct - corrections requested:

Emily Colby White Leavitt (1835-1921) was born at Londonderry, New Hampshire, the daughter of Reuben and Rachel (Corning) White.  Judging from several of the inscriptions, Emily apparently attended Franklin Academy in New Hampshire, which her future husband, Samuel Dean Leavitt, also shown as Samuel Deane Leavitt, also attended.  

Samuel left an inscription in Emily's album in May 1860, three months before their marriage.


Samuel Dean(e) Leavitt was born August 12, 1838 at Exeter, New Hampshire, son of Benjamin Brackett Leavitt and Harriet (Lamprey) Brackett.  Emily and Samuel had, I believe, six children, but it appears that several, if not five of them, died young.  Their youngest, Amy White Leavitt, who married Henry Chapman Waters, is shown below as a child.


Samuel Dean Leavitt was an influential citizen at Eastport, Maine.  Read more about him here in Maine: A History, Volume 4, by Louis Clinton Hatch, published in 1919.  Included in the biography is a photograph of Samuel Dean Leavitt.

1880s Autograph Album of Lois Lawler Ricker of Eastport, Maine


1870s/1880s/1890s autograph album of Lois Lawler Ricker (1879-1967) of Eastport, Maine.  

Reprinted with permission from the Heirlooms Reunited blog

The album, approximately 5-1/8" x 3-1/8", is missing its front cover and perhaps a front end paper or two; hopefully no pages at the back of the album are missing.   The back cover and spine are present and attached to each other, but unattached to the body.

The album contains 23 pages with signatures.  Lois herself signed three pages, her sister Carrie Maud Ricker signed two, and Linnie E. Mitchell of Eastport, Maine, signed two.

Surnames in the Album
  • Bishop 
  • Brooks 
  • Garnett
  • Higgins
  • Lawler
  • Lindsay
  • Mitchell - 3 inscriptions from 2 individuals
  • Murphy
  • Patterson
  • Rafter
  • Reynolds
  • Rice
  • Ricker - 5 inscriptions from 2 individuals
  • Roop
  • Stanley
  • Tenney
  • Ward

Lois, "Loie", the album owner, signed the page after the title page.

                                                                        
She also signed a page in 1891.

                    
And a page in 1893.


Her older sister Carrie Maud Ricker signed two pages, the first in 1889,


and the second in 1892.


Lois Lawler Ricker (1879-1967), born 10 August 1879, and Carrie Maud Ricker (1877-1944), born 2 March 1877, both at Eastport, Maine, were the daughters of Eliphalet and Elizabeth "Lizzie" A. (Lawler) McCaffery Ricker, who were born at Eastport, Maine, and Campobello Island, New Brunswick, respectively.

The girls had an older sister, Mary, born about 1868.

I don't believe Lois or Carrie Maud ever married.  Lois died in 1867 at Lubec, Maine, a short hop across the bay from Eastport.  Carrie Maud had died in 1944 at Eastport.

Other signers in the album, not in alphabetical order.

Hattie A. Brooks of Eastport signed a page.

1864-1878 Autograph Album of Frances R. Swett, "Fannie", of Eastport, Maine; Inscribers from Maine, Massachusetts & Seabrook, New Hampshire Area


Reprinted, with permission, from the Heirlooms Reunited blog

Autograph album with inscriptions from 1864 to 1878 that belonged to Frances R. Swett, "Fannie", of Eastport, Maine.

The album contains many inscriptions from the Seabrook, New Hampshire, area, where the family presumably had kin, as well as inscriptions of men serving aboard vessels in the U.S. Navy and Revenue Cutter Service.


The album measures approximately 8-1/2" by 7" and contains numerous engravings throughout, plus the sentiments of nearly 100 of Fannie's relatives and friends from Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.  An alphabetical list of the inscribers, together with any personal information they offered, appears at the end of this post.

Vessels mentioned in the album:


From brief online research, hopefully correct - corrections and additions requested:

Frances Swett, "Fannie", was born August 24, 1847 in Maine, the daughter of Nathaniel Fosdick Swett, who died during the Civil War, and Catherine May Wright, who were born in Maine and Nova Scotia respectively.   Nathaniel's father, Captain John Swett, was a native of Newburyport, Massachusetts, which may have been a factor in the number of inscribers from nearly Seabrook, New Hampshire.

I've seen several middle initials for Fannie in records, but most point to her name as Frances R. Swett.  Fannie's birth date came from her son Donald's application to the Sons of the American Revolution.

Fannie had several siblings, at least three of whom inscribed pages in her album.  Fannie's brother Jefferson Monroe Swett inscribed two pages, one individually and one with his wife Emily Jane (Munson) Swett and children Katie Wright Swett and Millidge Grassie Swett.


Brothers Jefferson Monroe Swett and George Washington Swett, who would marry Malvina Folsom, inscribed a page with several others, who included:
  • Allen Lowe Kerr
  • William Herbert Sinnott (alias "George")
  • C. Hillman
  • A. F. McAvenney [not sure of surname]
  • Frank H. Tuck


Fannie's sister Nellie May Swett inscribed two sentiments, one on the page shown below, and another on the inside back cover.  Nellie would marry Wilford Fisher Alexander.


On November 26, 1868, Fannie married Civil War veteran Walter Foster Bradish, son of Martin Bradish and Louisa Ann (Gilson) Bradish.  Walter was born in 1844.  He inscribed a page in his future wife's album at Eastport, Maine, on August 22, 1864.


Fannie and Walter raised, I believe, 7 children at Eastport, Maine.  Sadly, Fannie was one of many people who died in the 1906 Atlantic City train wreck, when a train went off a drawbridge between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Walter died in 1921.  Fannie and Walter are buried, with most of their children, in Hillside Cemetery at Eastport, Maine.  Walter's second wife Helen Marinda (Spoor) Bradish, "Rinnie", is also buried in Hillside Cemetery.
