In 1888, when Josephine Nelson, age 12, was visiting in Brainerd, Minnesota,
my great-grandaunt-to-be, Anna Bellmuth, age 14,
gave her an autograph book
and signed it on the first page:

Dear Josephine Brainerd Minn Jan 23 1888 Anna Bellmuth is my name Minnesota is my station Brainerd is my dwelling place and Heaven is my expectation And when I am dead and in my grave and all my bones are rotten This little book will tell my name When I am quite forgotten |
