My Great-grandmother, Burdie Mabel Nalley of Leaf River, Illinois had a memory book that she had filled with the signatures and sayings of her friends and family. Most of the entries were done in 1888 and the book is falling apart. In an effort to save those memories, the pages were scanned in color. There are so many signatures done by friends in the Leaf River area, I had to share it with other researchers from that area. Listed below are the people who signed the book. Click on their name and you will be linked to their entry. They are in the order they appear in the book. (If you have any spelling corrections or information on the people listed, please contact me)
Enjoy!
