1Title:  Anton L. Maresh Papers     
 Creator:  Maresh, Anton L. 
 Dates:  1899-1956 
 Abstract:  Anton L. maresh was a Cleveland, Ohio, musician, piano store owner, Republican politician, and collector of Abraham Lincoln material, who was also known as Anthony L. Maresh. His piano store on East 55th Street became the Republican political headquarters for Cleveland's southeast side, and in 1913, Maresh and his associates helped launch the political candidacy of Harry L. Davis for mayor. Maresh retired from the piano business in 1937, but actively pursued his hobby of collecting Lincoln memorabilia, building one of the largest private collections of Lincoln documents and lecturing on Lincoln lore to various groups. He served as long-time president of the local branch of the Lincoln Association of Ohio. The collection consists of personal correspondence, files on Cleveland politics and the music business, clippings, and financial and legal documents. Included is a collection of Lincoln material, consisting of copies of documents and facsimiles, addresses and writings about Lincoln by Maresh, writings on Lincoln by other authors, magazine articles and clippings. The collection pertains primarily to Maresh's interest in Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, as well as Maresh's activities in the local Lincoln Association. Additional materials pertain to Maresh's music business and political activities.
