I've "rescued" an old autograph album which originally belonged to "Richard", no last name indicated.? The album includes autographs from family and friends dating from 1891 to 1901 and also includes three photographs, to tintype group photographs and one of a young man which was taken in Germany.? The clues to who Richard might be are the cousins who are signed in the album including:
?
Ida POEHLER of Richmond, VA
Lena POEHLER of Richmond, VA
Emma SCHMIDT
Alma SCHMIDT of Holyoke, MA
D. CONNELL of Richmond, VA (married to Lena POEHLER)
John J. QUINN of Richmond, VA (married to Ida POEHLER)
?
In addition to these individuals who are relatives to Richard, there are many friends included with surnames including:
?
FINK
SMITH
POWELL
BOEHLER
OTTO
WILSON
WAGNER
GARY
WITTE
MITCHELL
MCMULLIN
KELLY
?
With locations identified including:
?
Richmond, VA
Holyoke, MA
New Haven, CT
Willimansitt, MA
?
I believe that some of these family members appear in your family tree.? I'm hoping to identify Richard and see that the album is returned to family.? I would appreciate you contacting me regarding the family and this treasures at your earliest convenience.

Thanks,
Shelley
