1880s Autograph Album of Mrs. C. A. Peterson of Minnesota


1880s autograph album of Mrs. C. A. Peterson, with a few signed pages scattered throughout.  Sadly, some pages were removed at some point.



Mrs. Peterson may have lived in the Minneapolis or Excelsior, Minnesota area.

If you have any insights into the identity of Mrs. and Mrs. C. A. Peterson, please leave a comment or contact me directly.  



Mr. Peterson signed at least two other pages.

  2. Thanks for your comment. I found it interesting that her husband signed multiple pages. He must have loved her very much and held her in high regard.
