1891 Autograph and 5 Photographs of Beulah M. Rhodes of Northport, Maine

Autograph album that was presented to student Beulah M. Rhodes of Northport, Maine, by her teacher Eugenia Pendleton for Beulah's attendance during the Summer term of 1901; plus 5 photographs, including:

• cabinet photograph of Annie and Beulah
• photograph of the students at the Cove School in 1895, presumably at Saturday Cove, Northport, Maine, presumably including student Beulah
• photograph of the students at Seal Harbor Grammar School during the winter term of 1905-1906, perhaps also showing Beulah as their teacher
• tintype of Eliza, Everett and Beulah
• tintype of Lizzie Beckett; Josie Beckett; Beulah Rhodes; with a note that "Josie died"

Notice the beautiful three-dimensional metal work on the album's cover.

The album measures approximately 6-3/4" by 4-1/2" and contains the sentiments of nearly thirty of Beulah's friends, schoolmates and teachers.  An alphabetical surname list and an alphabetical list of the inscribers, together with any personal information they offered, appear at the end of this post.

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

According to her Find a Grave memorial, Beulah M. Rhodes was born October 8, 1882 and died June 14, 1963; she's buried in the Saturday Cove Cemetery at Northport, Maine, with other relatives, including her husband Walter Russell Nealey.

According to her marriage record, Beulah's parents were Frank A. Rhodes and Lucy A. (Merrithew) Rhodes, who were born at Northport, Maine, and Morrill, Maine, respectively.  The surname appears in some records as Rhoades.

Beulah listed her occupation as teacher on the record of her September 30, 1911 marriage at Bangor, Maine, to Walter Russell Nealey, son of John and Delia Nealey.  Beulah and Walter had at least one child, a son Bernard, born about 1913.  Beulah died in 1963, and Walter in 1973.  They're buried in the Saturday Cove Cemetery at Northport, Maine.

Some inscribers mentioned N.F.H.S., perhaps Northport Free High School or ?

Walter's sister Eliza M. Nealey inscribed a page at Northport, Maine, on May 10, 1900.
