Heirlooms Reunited: 1880s Autograph Album of Henrietta B. Cooper of St. Mary's, Ohio & List of her Students

1880s autograph album that belonged to Henrietta B. Cooper, "Nettie", of St. Mary's, Ohio. Several autographs and four pages listing Nettie's students from the school year 1885-1886.

Another post features the autograph album of Nettie's sister, Ida May Cooper, which happens to contain a page signed by Nettie at St. Marys, Ohio, on 9 September 1882.

Nettie's album is approximately 7" x 4-1/2" with puffy red velvet covers and contains 8 autographed pages, plus the four pages of students' names mentioned above. An alphabetical list of the signers and students appears at the end of this post.

From online research, hopefully correct: [corrections and additions welcome!]

Henrietta B. Cooper, "Nettie" was born 1 January 1858 at St. Marys, Ohio, the daughter of Robert and Lydia (Hay) Cooper. I believe Nettie dedicated her life to teaching and didn't marry.

Nettie's sister Mary, "Madie", signed a page at St. Marys, Ohio, on 1 January 1886.

Nettie was still teaching at the time of the 1920 Census of St. Marys, Ohio; her niece Fern Stephens, daughter of Ida May (Cooper) Stephens was living with her. Nettie died in 1943.
