Nonie (Rhoads) Sabin operated a photograph studio in Union City, Tennessee, in the early 1910’s, and after marrying Verne Sabin, they both operated a studio in Union City from 1919 to 1924. After moving the family to Raymondville, Texas, in 1924, the Sabins’ operated an apothecary and photograph studio there until the late 1930’s. The collection contains many photographs of Union City and Reelfoot Lake, including portraits of local individuals, photographs of Newport News, Virginia, where Verne Sabin was stationed during the First World War, family photographs, photographs of Raymondville, Texas, and the adjacent King Ranch, photographs from Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and Brooke General Hospital, where Verne Sabin worked during and after the Second World War, and photographs of the Sabins’ vacations. The collection also includes personal documents of the Sabin’s, relating to their lives and business affairs. Other items include several 16mm films of events in the Raymondville–San Antonio, Texas area, ca. 1920-1930’s; photograph albums; oversized materials; and an extensive negative collection. The Tennessee State Library and Archives was made aware of this collection during the year-long Tennessee Homecoming ‘86 Celebration in 1986. An exhibit of Sabin photographs was displayed in Samburg, Tennessee, produced by the Obion County Historical Museum. Mrs. Connie Burkhalter and Ms. Pat Morris of the State Library and Archives were in Obion County with the Looking Back at Tennessee Project, and viewed this exhibit. They suggested to the owner of the Sabin photographs, Mrs. Lela Karweil (daughter of the Sabins’), and Dr. Wintfred Smith of the University of Tennessee at Martin (who coordinated the exhibit in Samburg), that the collection be donated to the State Library and Archives. The collection was donated to the Tennessee State Library and Archives in 1989. An addition was given to the Library and Archives in 1990. The collection as received in its original state contained several dozen boxes of prints, documents, ephemera, negatives, films and other material. Much of the collection required extensive conservation work done by Carol Roberts of the Tennessee State Library and Archives. Reproduction services were provided by Connie Burkhalter, and later by Karina McDaniel, both of the TSLA. Mrs. Karweil and her daughter, Mrs. Janelle Garnett of San Antonio, Texas, were instrumental in identifying much of the family photographs in this collection, and Dr. Smith contributed greatly to the identification of much of the Reelfoot Lake material. Judge Sam Nailling of Union City contributed to the identification of some of the Union City photographs, as well as the photographs of the sportsman’s lodges at Reelfoot Lake. Identification of some of the military subjects in this collection was aided by Ken Fieth, formerly of the Tennessee State Library and Archives, now Archivist for the Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County (Tenn.) Archives. 4 The collection is housed in a six drawer file cabinet that contains over 5,400 photographic prints; thirteen photo album boxes; one large family photographic album; several oversized photographs and materials located in a map case drawer located on the Eighth Stack, TSLA; three boxes of miscellaneous items, such as postcards, advertisements and other items; eight boxes of 8x10” photograph prints; two boxes of manuscript related materials and ephemera; thirty-four boxes of photographic negatives, most of which are silver nitrate; and nine 16mm movie films. There is only one special condition placed on the usage of the collection. Mrs. Lela Karweil has stipulated in the donor agreements that materials reproduced from this collection in publications and for scholarly research must be credited to the Tennessee State Library and Archives. The collection has been microfilmed, and it is stored in the environmentally controlled vault of the Tennessee State Library and Archives. It is strongly recommended that, due to the fragile nature of this collection, the microfilm of this collection be accessed by the public, and only the photographic technician of the State Library and Archives have access to any original prints and negatives contained in the collection. This finding aid is produced in two formats: the container list for the photographs and negatives is in “landscape” format due to its’ large size and content; the remainder of this document is in “portrait” format. 5 CHRONOLOGY September 8, 1890 Nonie Rhoads is born in Ohio County, Kentucky.

  • Les Bains-Douches Municipaux De La Ville De Paris
    Les bains-douches municipaux de la Ville de Paris I. Des bains publics aux bains-douches Aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, les bains publics de Paris sont encore majoritairement des lieux de plaisir et de divertissement raffinés1, réservés à une élite aristocratique, à l’image des pittoresques « bains chinois » construits en 1787 par Nicolas Lenoir sur le boulevard des Italiens. Cependant, l’industrialisation et l’urbanisation croissante de la capitale s’accompagnent d’un cortège de maux, promiscuité, insalubrité, propagation des épidémies - le choléra frappe la ville à plusieurs reprises dès 1832 – qui rendent nécessaire l’élaboration d’une véritable politique d’hygiène sociale en faveur des classes populaires. Cette dernière, bien étudiée par Fabienne Chevallier2, emprunte alors deux directions : une action visant à réglementer les conditions de l’habitat, avec la loi sur les logements insalubres (13 avril 1850) et un important effort de constructions, entrepris par un Etat-Providence en gestation. Dans ce domaine, comme dans celui des logements ouvriers3, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, influencé par son séjour d’exil en Angleterre, montre l’exemple. En 1849, le chimiste Jean- Baptiste Dumas, qu’il nomme Ministre du Commerce et de l’Agriculture, confie à une commission ministérielle la responsabilité d’établir un rapport sur les établissements de bains publics anglais gratuits ou à prix réduits. Il démontre la qualité des réalisations, au bénéfice de la classe ouvrière qui s’y rend « au moins une fois par semaine »4. Le 3 février 1851 est donc voté par l’Assemblée nationale un crédit extraordinaire de 600 000 francs pour encourager les communes à créer des établissements modèles de bains et de lavoirs publics gratuits ou à prix réduits, grâce à une subvention de l’Etat pouvant atteindre les deux tiers de leur financement.

Impacts of a major Seine flood in the Ile-de-France region A historic reference: the great 100-year flood of 1910 While the possibility of a major flood of the Seine River may initially seem remote, it comes back regularly and arouses public attention as was the case during the spring of 2013 when floods took place upstream of the Seine River basin. Even though the flooding did not cause any major damage, it reopened the question of risk management and the region's vulnerability to flooding. The prospect of a historic event is a key concern for French risk management stakeholders. The 1910 flood was particularly destructive in the context of an era marked by industrial and technological progress. Such events illustrate the difficulties societies have in compromising between economic development and the management of increased vulnerability of society and multiple economic sectors.

  • Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago's Parks
    Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago’s Parks by Julia S. Bachrach, Chicago Park District Historian In 1909, Daniel H. Burnham (1846 – 1912) and Edward Bennett published the Plan of Chicago, a seminal work that had a major impact, not only on the city of Chicago’s future development, but also to the burgeoning field of urban planning. Today, govern- ment agencies, institutions, universities, non-profit organizations and private firms throughout the region are coming together 100 years later under the auspices of the Burnham Plan Centennial to educate and inspire people throughout the region. Chicago will look to build upon the successes of the Plan and act boldly to shape the future of Chicago and the surrounding areas. Begin- ning in the late 1870s, Burnham began making important contri- butions to Chicago’s parks, and much of his park work served as the genesis of the Plan of Chicago. The following essay provides Daniel Hudson Burnham from a painting a detailed overview of this fascinating topic. by Zorn , 1899, (CM). Early Years Born in Henderson, New York in 1846, Daniel Hudson Burnham moved to Chi- cago with his parents and six siblings in the 1850s. His father, Edwin Burnham, found success in the wholesale drug busi- ness and was appointed presidet of the Chicago Mercantile Association in 1865. After Burnham attended public schools in Chicago, his parents sent him to a college preparatory school in New England. He failed to be accepted by either Harvard or Yale universities, however; and returned Plan for Lake Shore from Chicago Ave. on the north to Jackson Park on the South , 1909, (POC).

He formerly p-layed, and two of his sons gained eminenee in Kansas and Missouri Valley play, kirke mechem THE KANSAS HISTORICAL QUARTERLY Volume XVII November, 1949 Number 4 "Home on the Range" KIRKE MECHEM The night Franklin D. Roosevelt was first elected president a group of reporters sang "Home on the Range" on his doorstep in New York City. He asked them to repeat it, and made the statement, so it was said, that it was his favorite song. Later he often listened to the ballad at the White House, and it was reported that at Warm Springs he frequently led his guests in singing it. Stories of the President's approval soon made "Home on the Range" one of the country's hit songs. By 1934 it had moved to the top on the ra­ dio, where it stayed for six months. Everybody sang it, from Lawrence Tibbett to the smallest entertainer. Radio chains, motion picture com­ panies, phonograph record concerns and music publishers had a field day -all free of royalties, for there was no copyright and the author was un­ known. At its peak the song was literally sung around the world. Writing from Bucharest, William L. White, son of William Allen White of Kansas, said: They all know American songs, which is pleasant if you are tired of wars and little neutral capitals, and are just possibly homesick.
