Six women from Washington County, Maine, inscribed pages in the mid 1890s in an autograph album while they were students at Gorham Normal School in Gorham, Maine, now part of the University of Southern Maine.
One of them, Mary Elinor Harvell, would have been fairly young to have been a student, but it's possible.
See a another blog post about the album, belonging to a Myra, which contains the inscriptions of students from other places in Maine and out of state.
