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.
