Many autographs have faded and can't be read. They include schoolmates and relatives. Ferdinand Adolph SCHUBERT was born November 05, 1901 and died June 21, 1982. To my knowledge, the DU MENIL, MERZ, and TRAPP's are kinfolk. Some of the autographs are written in German and I can't read them. Hopefully, I'll have them translated some day. The following are the legible autographs as written and they are alphabetized by surname rather than by entry: Dear Ferdinand, Love me little love me big. Love me as mutch as a Little pig >From your Uncle Max DU MENIL Dear Ferdinand Roses are Read Violets are Blue Sugar is sweet And so are you With Love from your Cou's Ralph DU MENIL Dear Ferdinand, Birds love sunshine Flowers love dew Angels love heaven and I love you.
