Wyatt Scrapbook - Facts for Friends of the Nashville YWCA

In November 2011, I purchased a scrapbook at an antiques mall in Carson, California. The scrapbook is believed to have belonged to Laurine Wyatt. I am transcribing the articles and documents contained in the scrapbook with the hope that it may be of value to genealogists who may be researching the individuals named.


It appears that this multi-page booklet—“FACTS for Friends of The Nashville Y. W. C. A.”—was given to Laurine Wyatt on Sunday, October 13, 1929.  There is nothing to indicate whether she was coming to the organization as a volunteer or as a resident. I have enlarged the inner pages so they are readable online; only minimal information (primarily names of individuals) has been transcribed and is included following all the images.
