Ida Marie Zorn Thompson (1861-1938) was the mother of Basil Thompson and the second wife of T.P. Thompson. Her autograph books contain poetry, autographs, drawings, pressed flowers, and ephemeral material. She was between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four when these were compiled. Commonly called "friendship albums," these blank-paged books were utilized to gather personal autographs, share poetry/prose, and well-wishes for the owner.
