"Form of Keeping Accounts" Page from the Page Literary Society Rule Book, 1880

A page from the 1880 rule book of the Page Literary Society illustrates the proper form for keeping financial accounts, complete with a certified treasurer's ledger. Kept among the WWI-era letters of Pvt. Willis W. Wagener, this document reflects the family's earlier ties to a 19th-century community literary and debating society. Project: 218129
