My Grandfather, my grandchildren and me; an autobiography. Harrisonburg, VA; Dayton, VA: Shenandoah Press, 1968.","The Wampler family emerged upon the American poultry industry in the early twentieth century changing the industry practices and beliefs. As a result of their success, the Wamplers became one of the most influential families in Rockingham County, Virginia and helped the Shenandoah Valley garner the moniker \"Turkey Capital of the Nation.\"","In 1811, John Wampler and family, members of the Brethren Church, moved from Pennsylvania to the Timberville area of the county during a period when large groups of Brethren were migrating south. During the Civil War, John Wampler III gained notoriety for supposedly thwarting Union General Philip Sheridan's attempt to burn his family's barn. After the war, in 1871, John Wampler III purchased a farm in Dayton that he named Sunny Slope and built a house there.  Under the setting of Sunny Slope, John Wampler III's children and grandchildren made their many significant contributions to agriculture.","Charles W. Wampler Sr., third son of John Wampler III, was born in 1886 and took quickly to the agricultural development of the county. He became a county agricultural agent and was an accomplished livestock farmer raising chickens and cattle. Eventually, he settled into turkey farming and started Rockingham County's first turkey hatchery. It was during this time that he became known as the \"Father of the Modern Turkey Industry\" because of his success in various agricultural experiments that changed the face of modern turkey farming. One of his earliest experiments was using chicken incubators to hatch turkey eggs. Starting with only ninety eggs, Wampler Sr. was able to hatch fifty-two poults. Another Charles Wampler Sr. innovation all but ended the wide spread practice of free-range turkey farming in commercial operations.  Wampler Sr. believed, and was able to show, that free-range turkeys were less cost effective to raise as they expended more energy and required more feed at the expense of the farmer. Wampler practiced \"incubation and confinement\" which soon became the standard among successful poultry growers.","Charles Wampler Sr. also served as the first Rockingham County Extension Agent and founded the Wampler Feed and Seed Company in 1927 with two of his brothers. The company mixed feed for distribution to livestock and turkeys.  Wampler Feed and Seed was the first in the nation to contract with farms to grow poultry. Wampler also helped found the National Turkey Federation. Among his many philanthropic activities, Charles Wampler Sr. served on the Board of Trustees for Bridgewater College, on the Board of Visitors for Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and on the Board of Directors for the Children's Home Society of Virginia.","Charles Wampler Jr. was born at Sunny Slope on November 25, 1915 as one of nine children (six daughters and three sons.) He attended Bridgewater College for two years and Rutgers University for one year. His early indoctrination in the poultry business began at the age of seven when he and a sister, with the aid of their mother, prepared feed for turkeys in the family business. Crushed eggs and oatmeal were the two main components of the feed. In 1936, his career officially began as a \"field man\" for Wampler Feed and Seed - traveling to various growers and inspecting livestock. Eventually, Charles Jr. became the company's general manager when Charles Sr. retired. In 1969, Wampler hatcheries, feed mills, and grower operations joined with Virginia Valley Processing to become Wampler Food Incorporated. Poultry processing, hatcheries, and growers were combined as a single corporation with Charles Wampler Jr. as president. In 1984, Charles Jr. oversaw the merger between Wampler Foods and Longacre Farms out of Franconia, Pennsylvania. By 1986, Wampler-Longacre acquired the Rockingham Poultry Cooperative and formed WLR Foods Incorporated with Charles Jr. as chairman of the board.","In addition to his business career, Charles Wampler Jr. had an equally distinguished career in service. Charles Jr. was a district representative for Rockingham County in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1954 until 1965 serving on several committees including Agriculture, Finance, and Labor. In 1957, he co-founded the United Way of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County.  From 1971 to 1984, Charles Jr. served as president and chairman of the board for the Rockingham Memorial Hospital. He has also served on James Madison University's Board of Visitors and the Rockingham County School Board. In 1990, he received James Madison University's Common Wealth award in recognition of outstanding contributions to the community. In addition, Charles Wampler Jr. was a member of the Church of the Brethren in Harrisonburg.","The bulk of this collection came from the Wampler family's Sunny Slope Farm Property near Dayton, Virginia. In 2009, James Madison University history professor Daniel Kerr was in communication with Barbara Melby, daughter of Charles W. Wampler Jr., who occupied the Sunny Slope property at that time. Mrs. Melby identified the storage of documents within the barn. After an initial inspection of the material, arrangements to transfer the material to Special Collections for cleaning, rehousing, and processing were made.","In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in 2017-2018.  This collection was previously cataloged as SC 5024. During this time the collection was minimally reprocessed meaning that it was physically rehoused to eliminate the previous arrangement of housing according to series and the description was updated and enhanced where necessary.","Elizabeth \"Libby\" Custer Papers, ca.1930s-1997, SC 0077, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va.","Wampler Family Papers, 1798-1962, SC 0150, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA","WLR Foods records, 1984-2002, SC 0112, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va.","The Wampler Family Business Records, 1916-1972, consists of 11 cubic feet and 31 boxes of material documenting Wampler Foods Incorporated. The collection is primarily comprised of personal and business correspondence of Charles Wampler Sr. The collection includes bound ledgers, financial documents, print material, reports, memoranda, and pictures. The collection is arranged topically into eleven series. Series include Administrative Files, Correspondence, Date Books, Farm Ledgers, Financial Papers, Philanthropy and Professional Organizations, Photographs, Press and Advertising Files, Print and Ephemera, Reports and Studies, and Business and Organization lists.","Series 1: Administrative Files, 1937-1972, includes a diverse assortment of administrative documents representing the business' large-scale farming operations. Insurance information and documents represent a large portion of the series regarding farm capital and employees. Another large section of the series is \"testing documentation\" for the various animals owned and bred by the Wamplers including chickens, turkey, cows, and sheep. Nearly all of these animals required regular government-regulated testing, and the corresponding findings and results are within this series.","Occidental Life Insurance Company of California- Statement of Claim, Nationwide Life Insurance Company- Statement of Claim, Rockingham Home Mutual Fire Insurance Company.","Nationwide Life Insurance Company- Statement of Claim, West Rockingham Mutual Fire Co.","Record of Eggs and Poults, Department of Agriculture- Agricultural Marketing Service, Virginia Valley Processors.","Application for Registration of Cheviot Sheep.","Soil Record Sheets, Virginia Department of Agriculture- Lime Letter.","United States Department of Agriculture- Bureau of Markets, Agreement between Wampler Feed \u0026 Seed Company and Walker May.","Inventory Pine Ridge, Sunny Slope, Blosser, Ralston, and Glendale farms for 1964, Sheep records from 1965.","Beef Cattle Record of Performance for 1953, Miscellaneous Animal Husbandry Record Sheet, Summary of Va.

Early correspondence to and from Charles Wampler Sr. in regard to his turkey business and his position as county farm agent may be found here. Through the 1940s, the letters concern both agricultural and World War II topics as the Wampler businesses supported the American war effort through food production. Intermixed throughout this range are letters regarding both the financial and agricultural support Charles Wampler Jr. provided to colleges and universities through his service on their Boards of Visitors. Letters written during his terms as a state representative can be found in the 1950s and 1960s with some addressed to Virginia governors and politician Harry F. Byrd. Wampler's letters to congressmen and state representatives regarding local and national issues document his own political persuasions on sundry topics including gambling, the United Nations, and presidential candidates. The Wamplers' philanthropic pursuits and financial donations to various non-profits (Virginia League for Planned Parenthood, Virginia Council on Health and Medical Care, etc.) are also documented.","Commonwealth of Virginia- Dairy and Food Division.","Commonwealth of Virginia- Department of Agriculture and Immigration.","Norfolk and Western Railway Co.","Walter S.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

Types of material include correspondence, reports, memos, notes, personal and biographical information, news clippings, meeting agendas, photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera. Several highlights of the collection include the original minutes of Council meetings, scrapbooks and ledgers created by Vice Regents, and early correspondence with Regents and Vice Regents. While the library's collection \"Early Records of the MVLA\" documents the founding and early years of the organization, the Papers of the MVLA continues where that collection ended and preserves the ongoing story of these women and the fulfillment of their mission. Creators of the collection are largely the board members themselves, along with staff and employees who worked directly with them. Scope notes have been added before the content list of each series to better describe its specific provenance and content. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1950s to the 1990s, however there is a very wide range represented overall, 1858-2016.","This series contains records created and collected by various committees within the MVLA. Correspondence, reports, and meeting agendas make up the majority of material.","Letter (copy) from Esther S. Fraser, Hall Tavern in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to assistant superintendent Charles Cecil Wall, August 1, 1934. Regarding analysis of Mount Vernon's wallpaper.","During the early 1980s, MVLA members agreed the process and procedures of Council needed to be updated. One suggestion made by Resident Director John Castellani was to create a notebook for each Council organized by schedule and activity. This resulted in the organized collection of reports, itineraries, minutes, and event plans for every Council, represented in these files. This practice continues, to some degree, up to the present time.","Original minutes taken for Council meetings, 1887-1994. The earliest versions were handwritten. Later copies were cleaned up and typed for preparation to be printed. Most of the minutes are loose papers in folders, but the years 1912 through 1927 are in bound/book form. Years 1928 through 1936 are in both formats, loose and bound.","A large majority of the Regent's Files contain correspondence to and from the Regent, sometimes organized by subject. Files for more recent Regents often contain event programs or invitations, speeches, clippings, reports, printed material, and other miscellaneous items. Letters to or from VIP guests or dignitaries have been noted when possible.","Includes RM-1024, MS-5652","This series contains records that were donated or transferred to the Library by a Vice Regent or their family members. These papers were often created by individual Vice Regents during the course of their duties as MVLA members, but were not held in files at Mount Vernon. Some folders may contain personal papers. A wide range of material is represented including correspondence, subject research files, reports, articles, printed material, memos, speeches, programs, invitations, memorabilia, and ephemera. Vice Regents often collected papers concerning specific projects or committees on which they worked.","Includes letters concerning Dodge's memoirs and the tree planted by the Prince of Wales.","Includes letters concerning the Anti-Fee Association and the Powel Coach.","Includes clippings on a Mount Vernon replica in New York and a visit to Mount Vernon by a British man.","Includes a Standard Guide map of Washington, D.C., \"Washington Visits to Rhode Island,\" \"George Washington and Rhode Island,\" and \"Autograph Letters and Documents of George Washington Now in Rhode Island Collections.\"","These files were kept by staff members at Mount Vernon, most often by the Secretary to the Board, to document the lives and work of individual Vice Regents.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

Types of material include correspondence, reports, memos, notes, personal and biographical information, news clippings, meeting agendas, photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera. Several highlights of the collection include the original minutes of Council meetings, scrapbooks and ledgers created by Vice Regents, and early correspondence with Regents and Vice Regents. While the library's collection \"Early Records of the MVLA\" documents the founding and early years of the organization, the Papers of the MVLA continues where that collection ended and preserves the ongoing story of these women and the fulfillment of their mission. Creators of the collection are largely the board members themselves, along with staff and employees who worked directly with them. Scope notes have been added before the content list of each series to better describe its specific provenance and content. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1950s to the 1990s, however there is a very wide range represented overall, 1858-2016.","This series contains records created and collected by various committees within the MVLA. Correspondence, reports, and meeting agendas make up the majority of material.","Letter (copy) from Esther S. Fraser, Hall Tavern in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to assistant superintendent Charles Cecil Wall, August 1, 1934. Regarding analysis of Mount Vernon's wallpaper.","During the early 1980s, MVLA members agreed the process and procedures of Council needed to be updated. One suggestion made by Resident Director John Castellani was to create a notebook for each Council organized by schedule and activity. This resulted in the organized collection of reports, itineraries, minutes, and event plans for every Council, represented in these files. This practice continues, to some degree, up to the present time.","Original minutes taken for Council meetings, 1887-1994. The earliest versions were handwritten. Later copies were cleaned up and typed for preparation to be printed. Most of the minutes are loose papers in folders, but the years 1912 through 1927 are in bound/book form. Years 1928 through 1936 are in both formats, loose and bound.","A large majority of the Regent's Files contain correspondence to and from the Regent, sometimes organized by subject. Files for more recent Regents often contain event programs or invitations, speeches, clippings, reports, printed material, and other miscellaneous items. Letters to or from VIP guests or dignitaries have been noted when possible.","Includes RM-1024, MS-5652","This series contains records that were donated or transferred to the Library by a Vice Regent or their family members. These papers were often created by individual Vice Regents during the course of their duties as MVLA members, but were not held in files at Mount Vernon. Some folders may contain personal papers.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

When possible, the original order of these files and their file names were kept during arrangement and description in this finding aid. All series in this collection are currently open-ended and small accruals will be added from time to time.

Types of material include correspondence, reports, memos, notes, personal and biographical information, news clippings, meeting agendas, photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera. Several highlights of the collection include the original minutes of Council meetings, scrapbooks and ledgers created by Vice Regents, and early correspondence with Regents and Vice Regents. While the library's collection \"Early Records of the MVLA\" documents the founding and early years of the organization, the Papers of the MVLA continues where that collection ended and preserves the ongoing story of these women and the fulfillment of their mission. Creators of the collection are largely the board members themselves, along with staff and employees who worked directly with them. Scope notes have been added before the content list of each series to better describe its specific provenance and content. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1950s to the 1990s, however there is a very wide range represented overall, 1858-2016.","This series contains records created and collected by various committees within the MVLA. Correspondence, reports, and meeting agendas make up the majority of material.","Letter (copy) from Esther S. Fraser, Hall Tavern in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to assistant superintendent Charles Cecil Wall, August 1, 1934. Regarding analysis of Mount Vernon's wallpaper.","During the early 1980s, MVLA members agreed the process and procedures of Council needed to be updated. One suggestion made by Resident Director John Castellani was to create a notebook for each Council organized by schedule and activity. This resulted in the organized collection of reports, itineraries, minutes, and event plans for every Council, represented in these files. This practice continues, to some degree, up to the present time.","Original minutes taken for Council meetings, 1887-1994. The earliest versions were handwritten. Later copies were cleaned up and typed for preparation to be printed. Most of the minutes are loose papers in folders, but the years 1912 through 1927 are in bound/book form. Years 1928 through 1936 are in both formats, loose and bound.","A large majority of the Regent's Files contain correspondence to and from the Regent, sometimes organized by subject. Files for more recent Regents often contain event programs or invitations, speeches, clippings, reports, printed material, and other miscellaneous items. Letters to or from VIP guests or dignitaries have been noted when possible.","Includes RM-1024, MS-5652","This series contains records that were donated or transferred to the Library by a Vice Regent or their family members. These papers were often created by individual Vice Regents during the course of their duties as MVLA members, but were not held in files at Mount Vernon. Some folders may contain personal papers. A wide range of material is represented including correspondence, subject research files, reports, articles, printed material, memos, speeches, programs, invitations, memorabilia, and ephemera. Vice Regents often collected papers concerning specific projects or committees on which they worked.","Includes letters concerning Dodge's memoirs and the tree planted by the Prince of Wales.","Includes letters concerning the Anti-Fee Association and the Powel Coach.","Includes clippings on a Mount Vernon replica in New York and a visit to Mount Vernon by a British man.","Includes a Standard Guide map of Washington, D.C., \"Washington Visits to Rhode Island,\" \"George Washington and Rhode Island,\" and \"Autograph Letters and Documents of George Washington Now in Rhode Island Collections.\"","These files were kept by staff members at Mount Vernon, most often by the Secretary to the Board, to document the lives and work of individual Vice Regents.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

Types of material include correspondence, reports, memos, notes, personal and biographical information, news clippings, meeting agendas, photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera. Several highlights of the collection include the original minutes of Council meetings, scrapbooks and ledgers created by Vice Regents, and early correspondence with Regents and Vice Regents. While the library's collection \"Early Records of the MVLA\" documents the founding and early years of the organization, the Papers of the MVLA continues where that collection ended and preserves the ongoing story of these women and the fulfillment of their mission. Creators of the collection are largely the board members themselves, along with staff and employees who worked directly with them. Scope notes have been added before the content list of each series to better describe its specific provenance and content. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1950s to the 1990s, however there is a very wide range represented overall, 1858-2016.","This series contains records created and collected by various committees within the MVLA. Correspondence, reports, and meeting agendas make up the majority of material.","Letter (copy) from Esther S. Fraser, Hall Tavern in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to assistant superintendent Charles Cecil Wall, August 1, 1934. Regarding analysis of Mount Vernon's wallpaper.","During the early 1980s, MVLA members agreed the process and procedures of Council needed to be updated. One suggestion made by Resident Director John Castellani was to create a notebook for each Council organized by schedule and activity. This resulted in the organized collection of reports, itineraries, minutes, and event plans for every Council, represented in these files. This practice continues, to some degree, up to the present time.","Original minutes taken for Council meetings, 1887-1994. The earliest versions were handwritten. Later copies were cleaned up and typed for preparation to be printed. Most of the minutes are loose papers in folders, but the years 1912 through 1927 are in bound/book form. Years 1928 through 1936 are in both formats, loose and bound.","A large majority of the Regent's Files contain correspondence to and from the Regent, sometimes organized by subject. Files for more recent Regents often contain event programs or invitations, speeches, clippings, reports, printed material, and other miscellaneous items. Letters to or from VIP guests or dignitaries have been noted when possible.","Includes RM-1024, MS-5652","This series contains records that were donated or transferred to the Library by a Vice Regent or their family members. These papers were often created by individual Vice Regents during the course of their duties as MVLA members, but were not held in files at Mount Vernon. Some folders may contain personal papers. A wide range of material is represented including correspondence, subject research files, reports, articles, printed material, memos, speeches, programs, invitations, memorabilia, and ephemera. Vice Regents often collected papers concerning specific projects or committees on which they worked.","Includes letters concerning Dodge's memoirs and the tree planted by the Prince of Wales.","Includes letters concerning the Anti-Fee Association and the Powel Coach.","Includes clippings on a Mount Vernon replica in New York and a visit to Mount Vernon by a British man.","Includes a Standard Guide map of Washington, D.C., \"Washington Visits to Rhode Island,\" \"George Washington and Rhode Island,\" and \"Autograph Letters and Documents of George Washington Now in Rhode Island Collections.\"","These files were kept by staff members at Mount Vernon, most often by the Secretary to the Board, to document the lives and work of individual Vice Regents. Some items were given directly by the Vice Regents to be placed in their files, while other documents were located or collected by staff and interfiled at a later time. Types of material include mostly correspondence, clippings, obituaries, resumes, tributes and memorials, notes, memos, and ephemera.","Biographical notes dated 1952 and 1954","George Washington Biography Lesson, 1995-2005","Questionnaire for the Records, correspondence 1979-1989, play written for George Washington's birthday","Skit or play performed for a Washington birthday event, written by Captain and Hope Powel Alexander, the Vice Regent for Rhode Island, February 22, 1988.","Correspondence, 1990-1999","Correspondence, 1990-1999, booklet- George Washington in Rhode Island, Words of Washington during the Revolution","Oral history interview by Sandra Robinette","Obituary, 1904; Biographical letter by her daughter; Invitation for subscription to the Peace Dance","Biographical information, Garden Club of America, obituaries for Mr. and Mrs. Anderson","Correspondence, 1967-1979, opening remarks to Mount Vernon film, 1976","Correspondence, 1980-1989, Mount Vernon, The Texas Connection","Correspondence, 1990-1999, The Mount Vernon File, Memorabilia of Washington County's Second County Seat, Questionnaire for the Records","Correspondence 1948-1960, Mount Vernon in Virginia list","Correspondence, 1919-1939","Signed by the Regent, Harriet Comegys.","Biographical note on the service of Anne Page Wilder Anderson in the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.","Correspondence 1940-1954","Correspondence, photographs","Obituaries, 2016","Correspondence, clippings, biographical and memorial information, Questionnaire for the Records","Correspondence, biographical information","Correspondence (Includes correspondence with U.S. Senator Bob Graham), biographical information","Obituary; descriptions of Florida Vice Regents","Biographical information; diary from 1863; census information; photograph of painting of Mrs. Balfour","Biographical information; Memorial tribute; Letter from the Governor of Virginia concerning a daguerreotype of Mrs. Ball; Copyright certificate for a Mount Vernon publication; Article about Mount Vernon","Obituary; minutes of Council from 1912 announcing her death","\"In Memoriam\" from Council Minutes; genealogy","Correspondence 1938-1955, obituaries, memorial from the minutes","Booklet, biographical information and memorial from minutes","Correspondence; gift annuity agreement; Questionnaire for the Records","Summary of Auction Activities, 1997","Correspondence, 1937-1942","Correspondence and biographical information, 1943-1975; list of gifts to Mount Vernon","Correspondence, biographical and genealogical information, and clippings, resolution to Council on her death, listing of her descendants, Questionnaire","Biographical information, obituaries, and correspondence (Includes letter from Mamie D.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

When possible, the original order of these files and their file names were kept during arrangement and description in this finding aid. All series in this collection are currently open-ended and small accruals will be added from time to time.

Types of material include correspondence, reports, memos, notes, personal and biographical information, news clippings, meeting agendas, photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera. Several highlights of the collection include the original minutes of Council meetings, scrapbooks and ledgers created by Vice Regents, and early correspondence with Regents and Vice Regents. While the library's collection \"Early Records of the MVLA\" documents the founding and early years of the organization, the Papers of the MVLA continues where that collection ended and preserves the ongoing story of these women and the fulfillment of their mission. Creators of the collection are largely the board members themselves, along with staff and employees who worked directly with them. Scope notes have been added before the content list of each series to better describe its specific provenance and content. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1950s to the 1990s, however there is a very wide range represented overall, 1858-2016.","This series contains records created and collected by various committees within the MVLA. Correspondence, reports, and meeting agendas make up the majority of material.","Letter (copy) from Esther S. Fraser, Hall Tavern in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to assistant superintendent Charles Cecil Wall, August 1, 1934. Regarding analysis of Mount Vernon's wallpaper.","During the early 1980s, MVLA members agreed the process and procedures of Council needed to be updated. One suggestion made by Resident Director John Castellani was to create a notebook for each Council organized by schedule and activity. This resulted in the organized collection of reports, itineraries, minutes, and event plans for every Council, represented in these files. This practice continues, to some degree, up to the present time.","Original minutes taken for Council meetings, 1887-1994. The earliest versions were handwritten. Later copies were cleaned up and typed for preparation to be printed. Most of the minutes are loose papers in folders, but the years 1912 through 1927 are in bound/book form. Years 1928 through 1936 are in both formats, loose and bound.","A large majority of the Regent's Files contain correspondence to and from the Regent, sometimes organized by subject. Files for more recent Regents often contain event programs or invitations, speeches, clippings, reports, printed material, and other miscellaneous items. Letters to or from VIP guests or dignitaries have been noted when possible.","Includes RM-1024, MS-5652","This series contains records that were donated or transferred to the Library by a Vice Regent or their family members. These papers were often created by individual Vice Regents during the course of their duties as MVLA members, but were not held in files at Mount Vernon. Some folders may contain personal papers. A wide range of material is represented including correspondence, subject research files, reports, articles, printed material, memos, speeches, programs, invitations, memorabilia, and ephemera. Vice Regents often collected papers concerning specific projects or committees on which they worked.","Includes letters concerning Dodge's memoirs and the tree planted by the Prince of Wales.","Includes letters concerning the Anti-Fee Association and the Powel Coach.","Includes clippings on a Mount Vernon replica in New York and a visit to Mount Vernon by a British man.","Includes a Standard Guide map of Washington, D.C., \"Washington Visits to Rhode Island,\" \"George Washington and Rhode Island,\" and \"Autograph Letters and Documents of George Washington Now in Rhode Island Collections.\"","These files were kept by staff members at Mount Vernon, most often by the Secretary to the Board, to document the lives and work of individual Vice Regents.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

The purpose of the Association was to purchase Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, in order to restore the property and open the grounds to visitors and admirers who desired to see Washington's house and tomb. Ann Pamela Cunningham became interested in the preservation of Mount Vernon when her mother, traveling down the Potomac River in 1853, saw the house in its neglected and dilapidated state and wrote to her daughter of its condition. Both women thought it shameful to allow the first President's home to fall into ruin. A determined Ann Pamela Cunningham assembled twenty-two women of like mind together to raise money to purchase the property, pay off all debt, and return the gardens and grounds to the condition in which they were left by Washington himself. John Augustine Washington III, George Washington's great-grandnephew and the owner of Mount Vernon at the time, delayed several years in selling the home to the Ladies' Association. He preferred a sale to the State of Virginia or the federal government, both of which declined purchase. In 1858 he finally agreed to sell Mount Vernon to Ann Pamela Cunningham and the MVLA for $200,000. \nThe MVLA is the owner and executive board of Mount Vernon. Membership is made up of one Regent and 20-30 Vice Regents, each from a different state. All MVLA members assemble twice a year in April and October for Council, where they hear motions and reports concerning projects or issues at the estate. The Vice Regents also divide into committees focused on different functions and operations, and rotate members every few years. Today the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association is remembered as the first organization dedicated to historic preservation in the United States, and as innovators in the field of preservation. The Association remains loyal to its original goals, the restoration and care of Mount Vernon, and educating people all over the world about George Washington's life and legacy. Mount Vernon is open to visitors 365 days a year. The estate now consists of not only the Mansion and tomb of Washington, but restored gardens, outbuildings, Pioneer Farm, Gristmill, Distillery, museum and orientation center, the National Library for the Study of George Washington, gift shops, food pavilion, and the Mount Vernon Inn restaurant. \nList of Regents of the MVLA: \n•\tAnn Pamela Cunningham, 1853-1874 resigned 1874, died 1875\n•\tLily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, 1874-1891, died 1891\n•\tJustine Van Rensselaer Townsend, 1891-1909, died 1912\n•\tHarriet Clayton Comegys, 1909-1927, died 1927\n•\tAlice Haliburton King Richards, 1927-1936, died 1936\n•\tHarriet Cole Towner, 1937-1942, died 1942\n•\tMary Vilas Hanks, 1943-1948, died 1959\n•\tHope Hodgman Harkness (formerly Hope H.

Types of material include correspondence, reports, memos, notes, personal and biographical information, news clippings, meeting agendas, photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera. Several highlights of the collection include the original minutes of Council meetings, scrapbooks and ledgers created by Vice Regents, and early correspondence with Regents and Vice Regents. While the library's collection \"Early Records of the MVLA\" documents the founding and early years of the organization, the Papers of the MVLA continues where that collection ended and preserves the ongoing story of these women and the fulfillment of their mission. Creators of the collection are largely the board members themselves, along with staff and employees who worked directly with them. Scope notes have been added before the content list of each series to better describe its specific provenance and content. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1950s to the 1990s, however there is a very wide range represented overall, 1858-2016.","This series contains records created and collected by various committees within the MVLA. Correspondence, reports, and meeting agendas make up the majority of material.","Letter (copy) from Esther S. Fraser, Hall Tavern in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to assistant superintendent Charles Cecil Wall, August 1, 1934. Regarding analysis of Mount Vernon's wallpaper.","During the early 1980s, MVLA members agreed the process and procedures of Council needed to be updated. One suggestion made by Resident Director John Castellani was to create a notebook for each Council organized by schedule and activity. This resulted in the organized collection of reports, itineraries, minutes, and event plans for every Council, represented in these files. This practice continues, to some degree, up to the present time.","Original minutes taken for Council meetings, 1887-1994. The earliest versions were handwritten. Later copies were cleaned up and typed for preparation to be printed. Most of the minutes are loose papers in folders, but the years 1912 through 1927 are in bound/book form. Years 1928 through 1936 are in both formats, loose and bound.","A large majority of the Regent's Files contain correspondence to and from the Regent, sometimes organized by subject. Files for more recent Regents often contain event programs or invitations, speeches, clippings, reports, printed material, and other miscellaneous items. Letters to or from VIP guests or dignitaries have been noted when possible.","Includes RM-1024, MS-5652","This series contains records that were donated or transferred to the Library by a Vice Regent or their family members. These papers were often created by individual Vice Regents during the course of their duties as MVLA members, but were not held in files at Mount Vernon. Some folders may contain personal papers. A wide range of material is represented including correspondence, subject research files, reports, articles, printed material, memos, speeches, programs, invitations, memorabilia, and ephemera. Vice Regents often collected papers concerning specific projects or committees on which they worked.","Includes letters concerning Dodge's memoirs and the tree planted by the Prince of Wales.","Includes letters concerning the Anti-Fee Association and the Powel Coach.","Includes clippings on a Mount Vernon replica in New York and a visit to Mount Vernon by a British man.","Includes a Standard Guide map of Washington, D.C., \"Washington Visits to Rhode Island,\" \"George Washington and Rhode Island,\" and \"Autograph Letters and Documents of George Washington Now in Rhode Island Collections.\"","These files were kept by staff members at Mount Vernon, most often by the Secretary to the Board, to document the lives and work of individual Vice Regents. Some items were given directly by the Vice Regents to be placed in their files, while other documents were located or collected by staff and interfiled at a later time. Types of material include mostly correspondence, clippings, obituaries, resumes, tributes and memorials, notes, memos, and ephemera.","Biographical notes dated 1952 and 1954","George Washington Biography Lesson, 1995-2005","Questionnaire for the Records, correspondence 1979-1989, play written for George Washington's birthday","Skit or play performed for a Washington birthday event, written by Captain and Hope Powel Alexander, the Vice Regent for Rhode Island, February 22, 1988.","Correspondence, 1990-1999","Correspondence, 1990-1999, booklet- George Washington in Rhode Island, Words of Washington during the Revolution","Oral history interview by Sandra Robinette","Obituary, 1904; Biographical letter by her daughter; Invitation for subscription to the Peace Dance","Biographical information, Garden Club of America, obituaries for Mr. and Mrs. Anderson","Correspondence, 1967-1979, opening remarks to Mount Vernon film, 1976","Correspondence, 1980-1989, Mount Vernon, The Texas Connection","Correspondence, 1990-1999, The Mount Vernon File, Memorabilia of Washington County's Second County Seat, Questionnaire for the Records","Correspondence 1948-1960, Mount Vernon in Virginia list","Correspondence, 1919-1939","Signed by the Regent, Harriet Comegys.","Biographical note on the service of Anne Page Wilder Anderson in the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.","Correspondence 1940-1954","Correspondence, photographs","Obituaries, 2016","Correspondence, clippings, biographical and memorial information, Questionnaire for the Records","Correspondence, biographical information","Correspondence (Includes correspondence with U.S. Senator Bob Graham), biographical information","Obituary; descriptions of Florida Vice Regents","Biographical information; diary from 1863; census information; photograph of painting of Mrs. Balfour","Biographical information; Memorial tribute; Letter from the Governor of Virginia concerning a daguerreotype of Mrs. Ball; Copyright certificate for a Mount Vernon publication; Article about Mount Vernon","Obituary; minutes of Council from 1912 announcing her death","\"In Memoriam\" from Council Minutes; genealogy","Correspondence 1938-1955, obituaries, memorial from the minutes","Booklet, biographical information and memorial from minutes","Correspondence; gift annuity agreement; Questionnaire for the Records","Summary of Auction Activities, 1997","Correspondence, 1937-1942","Correspondence and biographical information, 1943-1975; list of gifts to Mount Vernon","Correspondence, biographical and genealogical information, and clippings, resolution to Council on her death, listing of her descendants, Questionnaire","Biographical information, obituaries, and correspondence (Includes letter from Mamie D.
