Additional Details

This magazine features articles by several named contributors, but has one author on the title page and seems to be all in one hand. The teacher's name is also given. Quite possibly, the students all wrote articles, and each one was responsible for transcribing a complete copy to practice their penmanship. Elsie Omans (born circa 1851) appears in the 1865 New York census in Eaton, Madison County, NY; Morrisville is a village in Eaton Township.
