Subject: [INROOTS] Great-grandma's 'autograph' book
Just to set the 'stage' for any newcomers to this list. We
previously had a
discussion on 'normal' school where I wrote:
>
> My great-grandmother went to "normal" school at Valparaiso, IN ca 1880.
The only
> way I know this is because her autograph book was eventually
passed down
to me.
> This little "gem" has a wealth of info when one begins
reading the
well-wishes
> and signatures of those she met while schooling in Valpo.
>
> The students referred to it as N.I.N.S. which must stand for Northern
Indiana
> Normal School. Most students listed their homes; some were from
IL and
OH, but
> most from IN.
>
> Also included in this autograph book are a couple entries signed Winamac
Normal.
> These are dated 1880-1882. Evidently great-grandmother taught
there after
> attending N.I.N.S.

Some of you wrote requesting these names be posted to this list, so here
they
are. Feel free to post this elsewhere, if you feel someone would be
interested.
I've tried to enter these names as they were written. Those that
have read
some
of the writing of this era know it can be difficult to decipher and
some of
these folks used pencil; the writing is fading.
NOTES to help interpret what's listed below:
Items enclosed in "( )", writing not legible.
Listing after the " - ", indicates the relationship
to great-grandma. This should help determine an
approximate age for these folks.
