I've "rescued" an old autograph album which appears to have belonged to Sherman or John S. MERACLE. The album includes entries from about 1883 to 1892 including family members belonging to the ORRISON and STRINE Families. Based on limited research I was able to gather some information regarding the family and have included that information below along with the lists of entries in the album: Autograph Book belonging to: Sherman MERACLE Also identified as - "John S." and "Shermy" Family: .
