Subject: [MOJASPER] Autograph Album with entries from Webb City, Missouri
Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 10:53:23 -0800


I've "rescued" an old autograph album originally belonging to Cordelia
STEVISON. She is referred throughout the book as "Cordie", "Corda", and
"Cordia" in addition to her formal name. The book notes that it was given
to Cordelia as a gift from her teacher, Mrs. MCPHETER at Christmas in 1892.

Most of the entries were made between 1892 and 1895, with all but one
listing the location as Webb City, Missouri. Family entries in the book
include:

Elmer STEVISON "nephew", Webb City, MO on February 4, 1893
J.C. STEVISON, Webb City, MO on January 15, 1893 "no relationship
identified"

Other surnames mentioned throughout are:

I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this treasure can be
returned to the family. If you are a member of this family or know someone
who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
