Manuscripts
Reed-Glynn papers
- Description
- The Manuscript series is arranged chronologically and contains nine journals written by Henry Glyn from 1881 to 1909 regarding his farming and life in Kansas. They include daily entries regarding growing and selling his produce, details regarding family matters, and calculations related to his finances and business income and expenses. The Correspondence series is arranged chronologically and predominantly contains letters amongst various family members, including Merry Ovnick, from the 1980s to 2003 as they worked on genealogical projects. Also included in the series are letters by and for the Round Robin Reeders, a set of circulating letters written by members of the Reed family from the 1950s through the 1960s. The Ephemera series is arranged alphabetically and contains genealogical trees and histories, government and legal documents, newspaper clippings, miscellaneous personal papers (including a graduation announcement and report card) and forty-one photographs. The genealogical trees and histories include the Reed-Glyns' efforts to trace their ancestors. The photographs of the Reed-Glyn families are divided into two folders, ranging from 1884 to 1949. Included is one tintype from circa 1884. There is also a copy of a printed book: "History of Grantville Kansas: 1954-1976."
