Subject: [OHDelaware] BRAGG Family Autograph Album including info from Delaware County, Ohio
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 21:08:29 -0700


I've "rescued" an old Autograph Album belonging to Miss Maggie BRAGG of
Lilly Chapel, Ohio. The book is dated by Maggie on December 25, 1889
probably a Christmas gift to her. Her handwriting leads me to believe she
was probably about 12 years of age at the time. Included in the album is an
undated report card for Maggie signed by her teacher W.H. LAIRD which
appears to be an elementary school report.

Also included in the album is an obit notice for Mary Ann TRACY BRAGG b. 24
April 1837 at London, Ohio; d. 4 October 1912 at Columbus, Ohio. Her
parents are listed as John & Margaret TRACY, she was the eldest of 9
children. She married George W. BRAGG 13 Jan 1870 and had three children
(two girls and one boy) and 6 grandchildren. Her home was in Delaware, Ohio
for many years.

There are many autographs in the album including the following family
members:

1. J.N. TRACY of Big Plain, Ohio, no relationship identified
2. Alice TRACY of Fayette, Louisiana or Iowa, no relationship identified
3. William THOMAS, March 30, 1890 of Lilly Chapel, Ohio, cousin
4. Bertie BRAGG, July 28, 1892, of Lilly Chapel, Ohio, no relationship
identified
5. Mina TRACY of Big Plain, Ohio, no relationship identified
6. W.H. TRACY of Columbus, Ohio, April 20, 1889, no relationship identified
7. Della THOMAS of Galloway, Ohio, August 10, 1892, cousin
8. Rose STEPHENS of Jamestown, Ohio, December 26, 1894, cousin
9. Leah TRACY of Big Plain, Ohio, no relationship identified

Other surnames and locations appearing in the book include:

STONEFARNER, Linden, Ohio
BONE, Stella, Ohio
DUVER, London, Ohio
BIRT, Columbus, Ohio
STRAYER, no location
NASH, London, Ohio
FRAZUR, Lilly Chapel, Ohio
CORDER, no location
DUGLAR, no location
TRUIT, Lilly Chapel, Ohio
KNOTT, no location
CLARKE, Lancaster, Ohio

I'm hoping to locate someone from Maggie's family so that this wonderful old
family heirloom 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
