This is a gorgeous autograph album I picked up at an antique store last week. It's filled with short verses from friends and family of Isadora M. BENTON.

Isadora was born 23 September 1863 in Michigan to Samuel BENTON and Elizabeth DEPEEL or DEPEL. She was 20 years old when she married Rolland Ethro DAILEY, 20 July 1883 in Frankfort, Benzie Co., MI. (An indexer typed 1886. A look at the official document clearly reads 1883).

She sometimes went by Dora and her husband went by Rollo. Rollo and Isadora had two known children: Faith Matilda Dailey and Rollo Ethro Dailey Jr.  Isadora died 2 January 1928 in Freeport, Brazoria Co., TX of a diabetic coma.

 I have scanned the pages in order but you can see by the dated entries that people did not sign the book in order. If you would like to full screen the book perhaps you can help me with some of the names therein. I put a question mark next to names I was having difficulty making out. Leave a comment if you think something should be changed. Thank you and enjoy this beautiful book!
