I've "rescued" an old autograph album which originally belonged to Hattie
BINGHAM of Michigan. The album includes entries from both family and
friends. Based on limited research I was able to find considerable
information regarding Hattie and her family and have included that
information along with the information regarding the actual entries in the
album:

I am hoping to be able to return the album to a member of Hattie's family so
that it can once again become a cherished family possession. If you are a
member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thank you,
