  Titled "'Memories', Dedicated to the Memory of Ella W. Appleton", the Nathaniel W. Appleton book is a collection of passages & hymns, which was originally planned to be given to Grace Wood. However Nathaniel decided his "Moore St. parents", Mr. & Mrs. Frank P. Appleton, should receive it and that Grace Wood would inherit it, which she did.
