Small notebook given to customers of George W. Capen of 61 Water Street, Eastport, Maine. Possibly owned by Elias Thurber (1841-1925) of Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada - his name appears on the inside back cover.
Capen sold a wide variety of items, as the back cover shows - everything from Lumber to Refrigerators to Horse Harnesses to Plows to Bran and Oats.
The page below shows the name Eva.
The page below shows the value of herring sold.
The page below might show the name Addie.
The inside cover, below, shows the name Elias ?, perhaps Elias Thurber. Interestingly, there was an Elias Thurber (1841-1925) on Campobello Island, New Brunswick, just across Passamaquoddy Bay from Eastport, Maine. Perhaps Elias was the owner of this little notebook.
If you have a theory as to the owner of this notebook or the names that appear in it, please leave a comment for the benefit of other researchers.
