  • Letters Collection Introduction
    Sm. Coll. 45 Letters Collection Introduction The Letters Collection consists of personal and public correspondence written to, or by, Toledoans. It spans a period of over one hundred years, touching every decade; it covers a wide variety of subjects – politics, economics, transportation, and real estate being the major topics. In virtually every case, only single letters are included in this collection; and only individual letters that did not belong to a larger collection are included here. Thus, the letters of Brand Whitlock, for instance, are a separate collection; and the correspondence of James McPherson is included in the McPherson Family Papers Collection. Property rights to this collection belong to the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library. Determination of literary rights is the responsibility of the researcher. In the case of letters, the original literary ownership belongs to the writer of the letter, not the recipient.

What has been gathered serves more for a basis upon which future family histories may build, rather than as a finished and sat­ isfactory product. It is our hope that it is sufficiently complete and interesting to inspire others to further strengthen and to continue to build upon our foundation. A keener interest in many instances, would have helped us to build a more satisfactory historical structure. Space permits of a brief mention of a fraction only of the goodly number who have given of their time, health, and pecuniary resources in assembling this Family data. , The following descendants of the Frederick Reams branch of the Family should be mentioned~ Viola R.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyriglited materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
