  Seville-Golladay correspondence, (bulk 1866-1872)

  Manuscripts

  This group consists of four manuscripts, eleven letters, and three folders of ephemera. Three of the manuscripts are lyrical epitaphs written to commemorate the deaths of various people in no particular order. The fourth manuscript is a personal statement by Mary Elizabeth Seville Hill herself, in which she explains family connections as well as her own point of view with regard to the letters. The letters are mostly written by Mary Elizabeth, commonly called "Mary Lizzie," to her Southern cousins after the Civil War. The letters themselves contain references to their education, the presence of African Americans in schools, the aftermath of the Civil War, and general family news, such as illnesses and marriages. One letter in the group discusses the survival of the other letters in the group, and is written by a descendant of the Southern cousins to May Hill Arbuthnot, 1884-1969. Lastly, the ephemera consist of two hand-embroidered clothing fragments and a collection of newspaper epitaph clippings.
