An 1880s autograph album that was presented to "Hattie", by Mamie L. Lane of Ripley, Maine.  The album is a small one, approximately 4-1/4" x 2-1/2".

Most of the signers are from the Ripley and Dexter, Maine area, including several surnamed Lane.  Mamie L.

Mamie's paternal grandparents were John L. and Lydia (Beede) Lane.  Her maternal grandparents were Reuben and Mary (Stevens) Lane.
