Abstract
Correspondence, typescripts, notes, clippings, photographs, and printed material of a local historian and promoter of patriotic
societies from Berkeley Springs. Many of the papers pertain to the local history of the eastern panhandle. Subjects include
the town of Bath (Berkeley Springs); James Rumsey; George Washington; Porte Crayon (David Hunter Strother); Washington Bicentennial;
National Flag Day; D.A.R.; and American Indian Day. One of the clippings scrapbooks includes a photo of West Virginia Governor
William G. Conley with Key to Bath, West Virginia (ca. 1929-1933), and another scrapbook contains an announcement for a meeting
of the "equal suffrage club" on 25 August 1915.
