This 1897 book is from the Wilmington Ohio library and contains original signatures on their birth dates of a number of local people. I verified a few of the names by researching and found their birth dates matched the dates of the book where they signed the page.
The book is a collection of quotations by authors that apply to battles/circumstances that happened on the calendar date the quote is on. Opposite the page is a place for making notations and on those pages, a number of people signed on their birth dates. I counted approx 37 signatures on their birth dates. The photos show a few of the signatures.
Possibly someone would like to have an original signature of one of their ancestors, or the book could be used for genealogy research.. The ones I did check showed they lived in Wilmington, Ohio. An example of some of the information I found - one signature is of Veda Slack who later married a man who became a member of Congress. Perhaps someone would want to continue the research of these interesting signatures.
Buyer to pay shipping. I will package carefully in a box and ship promptly.
