BTW, Philomathean was a society at U of Pennsylvania, so perhaps the album owner attended there as well?? Maybe it's looking better for George W. Douglas??

That might narrow it down a little.<br />https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MZ1D-4PF<br /><br />I'm sure you found the tree for Clara E Lazear with all the siblings, but no cousins named George.<br />http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/47372074/person/6755880784<br /><br />Her mother was named Cleary. Have you looked for George Clearys in the area? Or George with a mother named Cleary?<br /><br />This George W. Douglas died in Illinois, but he was born in Barnsville in 1864. His mother's name was Elizabeth Cleary. But 1864 seems a bit old to be having an autograph book in 1887. Unless he was in college.<br /><br />http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=1&new=1&MSAV=1&msT=1&gss=angs-g&gsfn=george&gsfn_x=XO&msbdy=1865&msbpn__ftp=Belmont+County%2c+Ohio%2c+USA&msbpn=274&msbpn_PInfo=7-|0|1652393|0|2|3247|38|0|274|0|0|&msmns0=cleary&cpxt=0&catBucket=rstp&uidh=hti&cp=0&pcat=ROOT_CATEGORY&h=1865162&recoff=7+49&db=FSIllinoisDeath&indiv=1<br /><br />Unfortunately Clara Lazear's mother's name was Eliza Cleary also. But George W. Douglas did not fill out his own death record, and the informant might have been mistaken.<br /><br />Can you narrow down George's year of birth by finding any of his schoolmates? Was M. Olive Hobbs, the "Philomathean" a classmate, or older than George's schoolmates? That sounds like some kind of college society. <br />Ed Hamiltonhttp://www.myoldohiohome.com/noreply@blogger.com
