A Very Valuable Family Notebook

My mom has a photocopied notebook of letters and journal entries of my great grandfather, David Maybury Prince. I have been transcribing it in the last several blog entries.

The notebook was given to my grandmother, Gertrude Prince Hood, who made a notation on the back cover.

"Presented to Gertrude Prince Hood at the 10th anniversary Prince Reunion at Southport, N.C. July 19th 1992. By her nephew David W. Phillips, Annie May Prince Phillips' youngest son of Columbia, SC."

Upon her death, it was to go to my mother and then to me "as he is more like my Dad than any of my grandchildren."

"This the 21st day of July, 1992.
Gertrude P. Hood
Goldsboro, NC
