ANTIQUE EPHEMERA - Public School District No. 3, Springfield Twp., Allen Co., Indiana. Christmas 1900 Souvenir from teacher George Beams

12/21/2021 07:00:00 AM

This is a sweet little souvenir booklet that was presented to the pupils of George BEAMS class in Springfield Township in Indiana for Christmas 1900. This one was the property of Lena Ethel BOGER. Daughter of John and Esther (nee Lyons) BOGER

"And, Lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone about them and they were sore afraid." - Luke 2:9

"For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." - Luke 2:11

Lena BOGER. I believe the photograph is likely of her teacher George BEAMS.

This day God fulfilled His promised word,

This day is born a Saviour Christ the Lord,

He spoke, and straightway the celestial choir,

In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire;

The promise of redeeming love they sang,

And heaven's whole orb with hallelujahs rang,

God's highest glory was their anthem still,

Peace upon the earth, and unto men good will.

A star shone in the East one night,

At Christmas time, at Christmas time,

And gave the watching shepherds light,

At blessed Christmas time.

A little babe was born that night,

Who gave the whole dark earth new light,

And made all shadows take their flight,

At blessed Christmas time.

And kings who saw that radiant star,

At Christmas time, at Christmas time,

Came bearing gifts from very far,

That blessed Christmas time.

They came to where the sweet babe lay,

They worshipped him at dawn of day,

And left their gifts and turned away,

At blessed Christmas time.

A list of Bible References of the life of Christ.

Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

I seek to digitally preserve historical photos for others that might be looking for them. When possible I reunite the original copies with descendants, free of charge. Here are more photos in my ever growing collection.

If any of these are your ancestors please contact me.

Belle A. HIGHLAUGH or HIGHLANGE

Walter HIGGINS

Miss Mary Ann McWINNIE

On the back is written: "Weep for her a tear of pity, March 1874.

Who among the great or lowly

Is so blameless and so holy

As to cast a stone upon her

In her misery, and dishonor.

From Miss Mary Ann McWinnie. 30th Nov. Lindsay 1874"

Back reads: "Tom HESSION. Aunt Daisy boy friend."

Back reads: "Sarah, Ted, and Sam." Taken in Nottingham England

Basil William DRUMM. Husband of Louella FISHER DRUMM

Could this be Louella FISHER DRUM? No identification on back but was found with the same vendor and the card backings have identical edging and size.

Arnold FENSTER and Lester FENSTER

This is a postcard photo. On the back is written: "This is Arnold and Lester Fenster. This is not a very good picture is rather dark as was a cloudy day when we had them taken." The postcard is addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Will Regelean of Otis Colorado. The handwriting is a lovely feminine script, likely written by their Arnold and Lester's mother Dorothy. Photo probably taken about 1916.

Elsie BROENDEL and Lenora BROENDEL

This photo postcard is addressed to Mrs. Wm. REGELEAN (Ida Emelie WANDERSEE REGELIN) of Otis Colorado. The back reads: "Dear Aunt: I suppose you remember us. This is Elsie and her big Sis. Lenora. Your friend, Elsie Broendel." Aunt may have been an honorary title since I can't find a biological connection between these ladies.

This photo postcard was also addressed to Mr. Bill Reglan, this time of Hampton Nebraska. The back reads: "Dear Bill and Ida. I am sending you one of my pictures for I am going away. I am going to be married so be good to yourselfs and don't work to hard." From Mary.

Helen Irene SWINGLE, age 9 mo. Born Jan. 2, 1924.
