purse / notepad ? or funeral log book?

found this in a barn, its seems to be a note pad or diary not sure. but it had a bunch of names of poeple and their signatures with the date, the dates are as ealy asdec 24 1894 and on. some of the writings have dates of when certain names died. it has the name of the owner on the front page i did a google search and her name comes up from ancestry.com and it shows she lived in the same city i am in (charlotte mi) any info on it would be appreciated email me at onestopliquor@yahoo.com thanks
