Book Description

The collection contains a ledger from the Purcellville Precinct recording white men eligible to vote from 1888 to 1901. The list provides voter's name, age, occupation, place of residence, length of residence in the county and in the state, and whether the voter was transferred to or from another district. Interfiled in the ledger were personal items, which have been removed and placed in folders. There is an undated Easter card addressed to Bessie Steele, a calling card to "Mother Steele," a letter addressed to Annie Smith from 1962, and a school diploma awarded to Stuart Smith in 1906. In a miscellaneous folder, there is a July 1909 newspaper clipping from The Winchester Evening Star, blotting paper, and black lace.
