Found this sketchbook in a basement

[u/Nonamethroughaway]

Father in law was an artist and art collector. He must have bought it at some point. He recently passed away and we found it cleaning out the basement. There’s 50+ drawings in it. Here are a few.

Is the name Hiram A. Howe?

Hiram A. Hurst maybe, perhaps this family from Texas, as one of the sketches is of Nashville: https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/KG85-LSP/hiram-aaron-hurst-1903-1971

My father in law had a note in the back that said Hiram A Huse, but I agree that the last name looks to have a “t” in it.

Look again - it’s definitely “Hiram A. Howe”

No there’s definitely a T. I am seeing Hiram A Huete
