AUTOGRAPHS Lizzie E. DeBevoise Jamaica, L.I. August 8, 1874 MY ALBUM My album is a basket sweet,
Brought from some fairy bower,
In which friends, such as seldom meet
Drop each a pretty flower.It is a basket well beset,
With gems of richness rare,
And real friends, who ne'er forget,
Place each a jewel there.Aug. 10, 1874 Lizzie E. DeBevoise Gulick, Anna R.
To Lizzie,
Earthly treasures fleeting, fading,
They can never give the peace;
Thou wilt find in Jesus only
All thy restless yearning care.
Go to him with all thy burdens,
Cast upon him every care.
He will heal thy bruised spirit.
He will hear each broken prayer. Dear Lizzie, that you may find this true
in every day of your life is the earnest
wish of your friend Anna R. Gulick.

Lizzie,
If ever by the worlds alarms
Thou should'st be from shelter driven
Take refuge in a Saviour's arms
And he will lead thee home to Heaven.

DeBevoise, Annie
To Lizzie's Album
Gro, little volume like the bee,
The fertile fields of mind explore,
Cull from each mental shrub and tree,
Some grateful lines to swell your store. Gro and in friendship's hallowed name,
From every friend some motto ask,
Some tribute fond from memory claim,
Some sweet remembrance of the past.
Your sister Annie Aug. 17, 1874
Hulst, P. E.
To Lizzie
Passing through life's field of action,
Lest we part before its end,
Take within your modest volume,
This memento from a friend. Passing through it, may we ever
Friends continue as begun;
And till death shall part us, never
May our friendship cease to burn.

And the band began to play
Lizzie asked me to write
And I did'nt know what to say.

To Lizzie
In after years when you shall recall
The days of pleasure past,
And think of joyous hours that all
Have flown away to fast;
If some forgotten air you hear,
Bring past scenes to thee,
And sadly charm thy listening ear,
Keep one kind thought for me.
Your Cousin, Chas. T. De,Be,Voise Oct. 27, 1874
Lott, Charles J.
To Lizzie,
Some starry night when all ?????
And thy thoughts wander far and free,
May I ask as a farewell token,

Haley, Maria S.
Trust in God, He'll guide thee
When arms of flesh shall fail;
With every aid provide thee
And make his grace prevail;
Where danger most is found
There He His power discloseth,
And 'neath his arm,
Free from all harm
The trusting soul reposeth.
Maria S. Haley Aug. 12, 1876
Bouse, George Jr.
As pearls do not float on the surface,
so the best traits of character are not
always the most prominent.

DeBeVoise, Sarah W.
To Lizzie,
We may write our names in albums,
We may trace them in the sand,
We may chisel them in marble,
With a firm and skillful hand.
But the pages soon are sullied,
Soon each name shall pass away,
Soon each monument shall perish,
As all earthly hopes decay. But my friend there is an Album,
Full of leaves of snowy white,
Where no name is ever tarnished,
But forever pure and bright,
In this book of life, "God's Album",
May your name be pruned with care,
And may all who here have written,
Write their names forever there.
Your Sister, Sarah W. DeBeVoise Aug. 14, 1874
Riker, Carrie C.
To Lizzie,
The family is a little book;
The children are the leaves;
The parents are the cover, that
Protective beauty gives. At first the pages of the book
Are blank and purely fair;
But time soon writeth memories,
And painteth pictures there. Love is the little golden clasp
That bindeth up the trust;
O break it not, lest all the leaves
Shall scatter and be lost.

DeBeVoise, Annie G.
Lizzie,
Thy little book is soon to launch
Upon the world's deep sea
And flowery but forbidden paths
Will tempt thy soul and thee
But O, if thou with child like heart
Will ask the God's kind care
He'll guide, protect, and keep thee safe
And thou his love shall share.
Annie G. D.B.V. Aug. 26, 1874
Waldron, M. E. - Newtown, L.I. Aug. 18, 1876
Lott, Carrie A.
To Lizzie,
I took your album up to write
Turned to a page all pure and white
I dipped my pen into the ink,
Then knit my brow & tried to think;
I thought & thought & thought again,
Then thought that I would get a better pen.
I got the pen, and then I tried
To think of something else besides;
But nought could think, until I came
To think that I would write my name.
Carrie A. Lott - Jamaica, L.I. Sept. 4, 1874
