Mystery Baby and her Baby Book

While cleaning out an old box of miscellaneous papers I collected over the years I found the baby book of Dorothy Wilhelmina (no last name noted)

Dorothy arrived in this world in Springfield on August 1st, 1914 at 4:40 AM.  She was born at Fifth and N. Grand Ave, which turns out to be the address of Springfield Hospital and Training School. 

                                                                            1919 City Directory

She was baptized at German Lutheran Church.  Her two Godmothers were: Miss Katherine Biesenthal and Miss Wilhelmina Biesenthal.  I was able to locate them in a 1919 City Directory:



The Godfather was T.A. Siebert and he was a tailor.

Inside the book I found a lock of Dorothy's hair from her first hair cut and the photograph below.

If you have any interest in this baby book just let me know.
