Alice Negley's Autograph Book with PHOTOS!

 

Alice Negley received her autograph book on December 5, 1892. Not only are there signatures, but she attached photos to some of the pages. I can only assume the photo attached is of the person who signed that page. This has helped identify some other old photos that I have. There are  5 photos pasted inside the cover with no names to those. Full of fun and witty sayings, her album has 78 pages of signatures.
