Autograph album
We just received a nice autograph album of Bertha Reid (1882-1970) which has a fine illustrated cover and a number of lovely multi-color illustrations in its pages. The autographs and poems the writers wrote date from 1893 through 1902. The poems are nostalgic about friends, remembering, and many are religious in tone. Born in North Dakota, Bertha lived during some of her teenage years with an aunt in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. She attended high school in Michigan and then moved to Canada where she graduated from the Conservatory of Music at age 18, accomplished in piano and violin. She was one of Alberta's leading musicians for over 50 years. Here are some highlights of the album. The first autograph and poem is from her mother to My Dearest Daughter.
