Autograph Book of Nellie Lauer, Newport Ohio, Wash. Co., March 28, 1892   Lilah Lauer Newport, Ohio, Wash. Co., Feb. 4, 1894   “She loves, but not you she loves, Not you on whom. She ponders, When in some dream of tenderness, Her truant fancy wonders.”   T’were vain to speak, to well to sigh; Oft, more that tears of flood can tell, When wrung from guilt’s expiring eye, Are in final word – farewell – farewell!                                     -Byron   Newport Ohio March 29th, 1892 Dear Nellie:- May you joys be as deep as the oceans and you sorrows as light as it foams. From you Friend, Carrie Kerr   A woman nerved is like a fountain troubled.                                     -Shakespeare Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned.                                                 -Byron False to my love & what is it to be false? To lie awake & think & pray for him; To weep from hour to hour & if sleep sooths mature, To start up from a fearful dream of him And cry myself awake: That false, no my love.                                     -Shakespeare   Newport Ohio March 6, 1890 Dear Nellie: When with girls Full of fun think Of me that quiet one.
