 Here I have one of the two autograph books from Doris Maitland (Mahoney).  It belonged to Lizzie
                                       A. Later, her grandmother on her paternal side. Her father, Lizzie's (and Thomas Mahoney's) son was
                                       Clyde Edward Mahoney. Thanks to Doris for sharing both of Lizzie's autograph books. 
                                       
 Please take note that the old-type handwriting is very difficult
                                       to decipher in some cases. I have interpreted words and names as best I can. If you are certain of a mis-spelling, please
                                       contact me so that I can correct it. Thanks!
