Annals of the House of An
This is a biographical memoir of Elam and Colena Anderson. It was written by Colena as a Christmas "Gift of the Spirit" to her children and grandchildren in 1960.  It begins at the time Elam and Colena met in 1913. It is available here as 69 mb pdf, which may take considerable time to download, or as a text-only version which is a mere 1.9 mb. 

Glad Jul
Elam and Colena's Christmas greeting in 1934 was this small photo album of various recent meetings with family and friends. "Glad Jul" is  roughly translated from Swedish as "Merry Christmas."
