D. Augustus Beam's Scrap Book opened 1885 thru 1-8-1907 (though items pasted in and loose inside are dated into at least 1929). Newspaper and magazine clippings, obituaries, telegrams, receipts, letters, etc. have been pasted over pages of Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture for the Year 1874. There are dozens of loose items stuck inside including an envelope containing pressed flowers. First page has a patch affixed.
