As noted in previous pages, this blog is for the purpose of inventorying my maternal great-grandfather'sSOUVENIR ALBUM, covering the years from 1840 to roughly 1900.
Today's post is Page 44, and fortuitiously, it includes a number of January 1st "at-home" cards. Great timing as it is January 1st tomorrow!

Top card: "HOME"

This page shows some of the activities of James G. Terwilliger and his wife particularly in providing names of a group of friends, including the Windeckers, Loefflers, Boorman, and Lockwoods.
I looked up the name George W. Dilks, and found he was an Inspector with the New York Police Force in 1880 [census]. Note that James' father was active on the Board of the Police Force.
If any of these people are familiar to you, or are ancestors, do let me know, so I can add information to this Souvenir Album. And if I've somehow mistranscribed the fancy lettering, I'm happy to receive corrections!
