John and Edith Cunningham of Little Falls, New York owned the book upon their wedding in 1902.

They had two daughters. Lillie Louise, born 26 April 1903. Margaret Addeline, born 12 March 1904. It seems as though Margaret was still-born.

John passed away on 14 October 1925.

When I noticed that the Cunninghams were married one hundred years before my wife and I, I felt a certain sense of responsibility to bring this book to the attention of the Cunningham family.

I found them in the 1920 US census. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MJLV-X4T This is how I know they were from Little Falls, NY.

Also in the 1910 US census. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M5W9-FG1

And the New York State Census 1905. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SPDY-KHP?from=lynx1&treeref=L66Q-LVV

Then I found Edith while she was still living with her parents. 1900 US Census. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MSFS-4HB?from=lynx1&treeref=L66Q-LVV She must have moved in with the Cunninghams and was recorded in the census again. 1900 US Census. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MSF9-BSW?from=lynx1&treeref=L66Q-LVV

It seems she moved in with Lilly and her husband, Lester Van Allen. 1930 US Census. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7Z2-SWG?from=lynx1&treeref=L66Q-LVV And we find her there again ten years later. 1940 US Census. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KQ32-4XQ?from=lynx1&treeref=L66Q-LVV
