- Description
- The Appointment books/address books series is arranged alphabetically by author. The items in this series chronicle the day-to-day activities of Collis Huntington Holladay, Margaret Broad Holladay, and Henry Edwards Huntington. They span from 1925-1969. The Family Records series is arranged alphabetically and contains such items as application forms submitted by various family members to such organizations as the: Society of Colonial Wars in the State of California, Sons of the American Revolution: California Society, and the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames, Descendants of the Ancient and Honorable Families of New Netherland. These applications show how the family member applying is eligible for group membership by tracing the family lineage back to the family member who can qualify them to be part of that group. In addition, this series includes genealogical tables and family genealogies documenting the lineage of the Huntington Holladay family. The items are grouped by surname Cresap, Holladay, Ord, Saunders, and Vincent. In some way all of the families are related to one another. Items found within this grouping include personal narratives both hand written and typed by various family members, birth and death dates of family members, family trees, and obituaries. Some of the items in this series date back to the 1600's. One item worth noting is a genealogical chart from the Ord family. The chart is very comprehensive starting with James Ord who was born in England, April 1786 and later moved to Omaha, Nebraska with his wife Rebecca Ruth Cresap on January 25, 1873. The Ords are the ancestors of the Huntington Holladay family and the chart traces the lineage up until the time it was made in 1936. Also in this series are newspaper clippings which mention the Huntington Holladay family, a biography of Henry E. Huntington, documents pertaining to the Huntington Family Association and their annual meetings, and lastly, obituaries relating to the deaths of Alfred O. Larkin and Collis P. Huntington.
