1870s/1880s/1890s autograph album of Lois Lawler Ricker (1879-1967) of Eastport, Maine.
Reprinted with permission from the Heirlooms Reunited blog
The album, approximately 5-1/8" x 3-1/8", is missing its front cover and perhaps a front end paper or two; hopefully no pages at the back of the album are missing. The back cover and spine are present and attached to each other, but unattached to the body.
The album contains 23 pages with signatures. Lois herself signed three pages, her sister Carrie Maud Ricker signed two, and Linnie E. Mitchell of Eastport, Maine, signed two.

Lois, "Loie", the album owner, signed the page after the title page.
She also signed a page in 1891.
And a page in 1893.
Her older sister Carrie Maud Ricker signed two pages, the first in 1889,
and the second in 1892.
Lois Lawler Ricker (1879-1967), born 10 August 1879, and Carrie Maud Ricker (1877-1944), born 2 March 1877, both at Eastport, Maine, were the daughters of Eliphalet and Elizabeth "Lizzie" A. (Lawler) McCaffery Ricker, who were born at Eastport, Maine, and Campobello Island, New Brunswick, respectively.
The girls had an older sister, Mary, born about 1868.
I don't believe Lois or Carrie Maud ever married. Lois died in 1867 at Lubec, Maine, a short hop across the bay from Eastport. Carrie Maud had died in 1944 at Eastport.
