Antique Find

So I was out shopping with my oldest at an antique store and got some books, yes books, surrounding genealogy or local history finds. In a box of books I purchased with some great finds, any how we landed this agenda/contacts book.

In my world of thinking I thought how cool would it be to locate the descendant of this original owner, or the owner if still living. In the back of it is a heart gripping journal entry of two in love battling life threatening challenges. My daughter and immediately grew to appreciate the author of this brief entry that you truly can feel the love. 

Soo! Maybe you can help?!

We believe the owner is related to, or is a descendant to surname Canfield. In a postcard addressed to Nashville, TN, she addresses a Mrs. D. D. Canfield. We believe the author is female and she addresses her love as 'D'. It is possible the Nashville address is her daughter.

The Author obviously knew these indiduals.

1) Mrs. E. W.  Andrews   from  Miami, Florida.
2) Mrs. Norma Renaldi    from  Miami, Florida.
3) Mrs. Stella Nelson       from  Miami, Florida.
4) Elizabeth ?                   from  Detroit, Michigan
5) Mrs. J. W. Moy
6) Mrs. Hersh                   from Jamaica  ?
                      (Jamaican L.I.   N, Y). ????

7) Mr. and Mrs.  Elmo/Elma (?) Willis          From Observatory Drive ??
8) Mary OBrien
9) Mr/Mrs T. R. Sanders    From Brentwood
10) Mr. and Mrs. JC Bamford/Banford          From Woodmont Boulevard
11) Mr. and Mrs. CW McCullough                from Estes Avenue 
12) Mr and Mrs. Jake Petuay                         From 1008 Mansfield Ave. 
13) Mr/Mrs JE Karanaugh/Kasanaugh          From Windsor Hotel,  Jacksonville, Florida 

These are just a few names of some they have noted. I will try to get these photo's uploaded shortly.

 I'm estimating they are from the Florida area, possibly Tennessee area.

Thanks for any thoughts offered.
