Old Salem Scrap Book

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I remember, as do you, as youths of Salem in 1901, we listened to the city's bells ring out the old and ring in the new century. Some of us had parties merry, and then we went on with the day's work in dreams of a new world as foretold by prognosticators and politicians and edi tors and commentators.
