Autograph album started on December 25, 1888, presumably a Christmas gift, and inscribed by people from Lewiston, Maine. The album is in pieces, so it's hard to determine the owner, but she may have been Alice G. Miller (1868-1930), who would marry Calvin E. Hodgdon in 1892.
The album measures approximately 6-1/2" by 4-1/4" and contains nine pages of inscriptions. An alphabetical list of the inscribers appears at the end of this post.
Surnames in the Album
- Brown
- Bucknam
- Lunt
- Merrill
- Miller (2)
- Peabody
- Rowe
- Torsey
From brief online research, hopefully correct - corrections and additions requested:
Alice G. Miller (1868-1930), was the daughter of Samuel Robinson Miller and Elizabeth (Hodgkins) Miller. In 1892, Alice would marry Calvin E. Hodgdon (1867-1952).
