Autograph books from 1897 - 1901 in Newton County, Missouri.  Keep scrolling down to see transcriptions Sacca's autograph book or click here to jump to her husband, Phidellah's page and a scanned copy.

Sacca's Aunt Rose died in 1942 in Joplin, MO and had no children.  A box of her pictures and letters is now in our family and probably was owned by Sacca during some time.  Rose Slocum Meredith's page has links to the pictures that need to be identified and also some from the family of Jennie Slocum Siler and Jessie Siler Harris in FL and CA.

Other pictures - Sacca Gold Weems and other's have had procession of this box of pictures, so other families pictures were in it.  Here are 2 pictures that I need to get identified.  One might be Sacca and the other is some children in 1955 that might have been Uncle Fat's (Lewis?) children.

And in the sad and lonely hour
It whispers low, forget me not.

                                Jan 6, 1900
Cousin Sacca
A woman’s love is
essentially lonely and spiritual in its
nature. It is the heathenism of the
heart. She herself has created the glory
and beauty with which the idol of
her heart stands invested.
                                Betsy’s Master.



                        Feb 6, 1900
Dear Cousin Sacca
Let us begin our heaven on earth and being
ourselves temped, let us be pitifill and considerate
and generous in judging others.
                        James Gold (Gladwyn’s father, later became Methodist preacher)
