Two of the tunes Jere Ryder submitted for identification are familiar
to me because they appear on the cob roller organ.

Tune #8 is "Silver Heels", which, according to sources on the Internet,
is by Charles N. Daniels and dates from 1905.  To hear the roller organ
version of it, go to http://www.rollerorgans.com/  it is cob #1152.

Tune #7 is to me clearly "Feather Your Nest" but, interestingly, that
is a much later tune than the others (1896, 1897 and 1905), with sheet
music dating from 1920.  That tune was #1256 on the roller organ.

I will try to identify some of the other four unidentified tunes as well,
but none of the titles immediately jumps out at me.
