Hyde in Birthday Book
Does anyone know who Emily C. Mann was? Her birthday is May 6, 1855 (or 1858). She lived in NY, at least toward the end of her life. I believe she is related, in some way, to the Hyde, Elwell, Warner or McGowan families in western NY state. I have a birthday book in which she wrote down friends and/or relatives birthdays. The birthday book has an inscription in the front that says - To Mother "Mann" on her 80th Birthday.
There are not a whole lot of entries in it (she was 80, after all), and it looks as if some of the entries were added at a later date.
I believe that Emily C. Mann is "Mother Mann" because that is the only Mann name in the book.
I would appreciate any help in trying to figure out who this person is.
I have transcribed the book and posted it below.
