My grandfather, Austin Conklin, was given an autograph book on Dec. 25,
1887 from the Troy Sunday School. Written on the presentation: A good
name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather
than silver and gold. Austin would have been about 11 or 12 when these
were written.

Autographs:

Dec. 19, 1888 - Your Friend, Edwin Warren, Coolville, Ohio

July 8, 1888 - Albert Conklin

July 4, 1888 - Ethel Smith

Dec. 18, 1888 - C. G. Russell, Coolville, Ohio

January 15, 1890 - your cousin, Mollie (I believe this is a Cunningham?)

December 21, 1888 - Stella Ford

December 12, 1891 - H.(?) Lyon, Antioch, Ohio

December 26, 1888 - G.(?) E. Russell, Frost, Ohio

you.
