From brief online research, hopefully correct - corrections and additions requested:

Elizabeth Strieb, Lizzie", was born in Indiana in 1862, the daughter of George and Katherine Elisabetha (Stadler) Streib.  Lizzie's sister Mary C. (Streip) Roth and her husband John C. Roth inscribed pages in Lizzie's album.  Mary's page:


Lizzie's brother, who spelled his name as Jacob Striepe, and his wife Hannah Savilla (Maurer) Striepe inscribed pages.  Jacob's page:


On March 9, 1886 at Highland, Kansas, Lizzie, recorded as Elizabeth Stripe, married Walter Robert Brant.  Walter inscribed a page in Lizzie's album in 1885.  Walter's sister Addie and her future husband Frederick L. Pierce also inscribed pages.  Walter's page:


Lizzie and Walter had, I believe, four children, one of whom died young and one of whom, John Franklin Brant, inscribed a page in his mother's album in 1907, when it apparently came to light years later.


Walter died in 1898 and Lizzie in 1925.  They're buried with their young son George in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery at Leona, Kansas.
