Per Joanne Peters: "The baby book was given to Harry and Isabelle Pritchard upon the birth of their first child Patricia (Pritchard Peters) in 1938. Patricia was my mother-in-law. She recently passed away and we found this item at her home. In addition, we found the dedication book. I am guessing that this belonged to my husband's grandmother, Grace Peters. She graduated from the Geisinger school of nursing in 1925. She had worked many years as a nurse at Geisinger and would have attended the dedication ceremony. When she passed away more than 20 years ago, her son Walter, who was my father-in-law, took possession of this dedication book. My father-in-law passed away 18 months ago.") ,
