The Autograph Book of Faith Matilda Dailey. Later the wife of Mordie A. Mummert

Faith was born 14 November 1889 in Saginaw County Michigan to Isadora Benton and Rollo Dailey. Faith's parents evidently hoped she would marry wealthy. They themselves were affluent. But Faith had other plans. On July 25, 1908 she eloped with Mordie Adam Mummert. Information on the elopement can be found in The Bay City Times (Saginaw, Michigan) 27 July 1908, page 4.
I have scanned the pages in order but you can see by the dated entries that people did not sign the book in order. I also did not scan blank pages. Thank you and enjoy this beautiful piece of history!
