Posted on: Whiteside Co. Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Whiteside/825 Surname: ------------------------- I have an autograph book of my great great grandfather's from when he was a schoolboy in Emerson. (Formerly Empire) Below is a list of the people who signed his book. If anyone is related to these folks or otherwise interested, I will mail them a color photocopy of the inscription or email a scan. I would be most interested in seeing if there are other autograph books from the same area and looking for my family members who may have signed them. Some are quite cute!
