The
following list of names is taken from an autograph book belonging
to Irene "Rena" M. Johnson, given to
her on Christmas Day in 1883, when she was about 17 years old.
Rena lived on Galloo Island in the Town
of Hounsfield, Jefferson
Co., New York, where her father, F. Byron Johnson,
was keeper of Galloo
Island Lighthouse from 1876 to 1906. Many of Rena's relatives,
friends and schoolmates signed her book. In later years Rena
made notes in the margins when some of them married
or passed away. All names recorded by Rena in her book are included
below.
The
decorative border, banner, and inscription used on this webpage
are taken from Irene's original 1883 autograph book.
