Scrapbook

This is a scrapbook created by Francis X. Gillen and Agnes M. Northam surrounding the events of their wedding day. The book includes articles about their wedding from newspapers like the Sunday Sun and Eagle Tribune, notes from their employers inviting them to a party in their honor, courtesy of the J.J. Newbury Company, and pages upon pages of gift notices and envelopes given to them before or on the day of the wedding by the various attendees. The articles in the beginning of the book also list every single attendee to the wedding and reception, and written above each gift notice or envelope is the monetary value of the gift as well as what the gift itself was, if it was not just a sum of cash, which many of the gifts were.
