I have a book "The Gift of Sentiment" Leavitt and Allen 27 Dey Street NY. Inside it is hand signed To Augustus Marks from his friend M.C. Bispham March 23rd 1858 Also is Mijo? Celia Toy Mniosi? Mills Erie County, Pa March 28th 1861 To Maggie Toy Presented by her grandmr ...also a t with a line through it Also inside, -one dead boutonniere -news clipping, I once was gayest of the gay until my heart was stole away. a card that reads Jr. O.U.A.M. Armory Hall Tuesday evening, April 1, 90 Music by Coleman We reserve the right and will reject all objectionable characters tickets...$1.00 Yourself and ladies are respectfully invited to attend the First Annual Reception given under the auspices of Oil City Council No. 339 Reception Committee F.W.Eakin C.D.Pickett L.H.Hoskins H. Meals C.A.Young Also written in the book in a front cover, Maggie Toy, Derrick City, McKean Co, Pa. Also a page, leaflet....The Founding of the German Empire By William I. A description of the book , if one wishes to purchase it. I am trying to find Margaret Young the grandmother who is mentioned as giving this book to my grandmother. So I am trying to find out how she had the book in 1861 when it was giving to a Augustus Marks in 1858. And i have no idea what the word that looks like Mniosi Mills Erie County, Pa is? A person or place? I know who Celia Toy(married Abraham Withrup) was but what is the Mijo in front of her name? If that is what the letters are. And Maggie Toy was born in October 09, 1866 and her Aunt Celia Toy Witherup in January 20, 1845. So Maggie could not have gotten the book in 1860 .......... who were Maggie Toy's grandmother and grandfather? they are suppose to be Major Toy and Margaret Young.....this book came from Maggie Toy's grandmother , what connection at all these other people? Does anyone recognize any of these names? I am posting this to both Venango and McKean.

Mijo could be Miss. In that time frame the first "S" in double S's would look like the letter "f" in script.
