Certificate marker for a book prize presented to to Mary Elizabeth Hadfield (1887-1909) dated 1905. 

The book is "The French Revolution" by T.Carlyle. 


"Lizzie" was the first child of Thomas Hadfield and his wife Mary Ann
LAMB. Her death certificate shows that she was an "Assistant
Schoolmistress". 
She was age 22, and died of valvular heart disease.
(Her Uncle Will died at the Jug Inn of the same condition.) The other
coincidence is that she died on May 20th - her younger brother Tom's 20th birthday.
