William King Scrapbook
Page 36 – Benjamin Hawkes Family
Amanuensis Monday
[We have a project at the Scarborough (Maine) Historical Society (SHS) where we are scanning and digitizing scrapbooks. Most of the pages are newspaper clippings and other documents that lend themselves to optical character recognition (OCR); however, there are also pages that are handwritten. To make those pages searchable within the final PDF document, I have been transcribing them as needed.]
Scrapbook, accession number 62.74.4, is a scrapbook of William King, which was donated to the SHS in 1962. Its contents are mostly newspaper clippings. The clippings go back to 1905, and the most recent clipping appears to be from 1952. The majority of the clippings are undated. The handwritten pages seem to be mostly genealogical lists of individuals that are ancestors of the King family and are also undated. The following page is from Page 36, as identified in the scrapbook index. The original page was scanned at 2550 × 3509. That file that is available through the SHS Museum. The image was duplicated, cropped, resized for the web to 379 × 583, and is displayed here.
