BRIMFIELD — You never know what you might find when visiting eBay.

Just ask Pamela Beall, who serves on the town's Historical Commission.

Beall was searching eBay when she came across a scrapbook made a century ago by Charles Streeter, a Brimfield resident who died while serving his country during World War I. The book features more than 60 printed items he saved between 1909 and 1915, including invitations to school events, tickets, photos, and report cards.
