| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Mary (Mollie) Garfield Stanley-Brown Papers
| | | | Creator: | Stanley-Brown, Mary Garfield | | | | Dates: | 1881-1967 | | | | Abstract: | Mary (Mollie) Garfield Stanley-Brown was the daughter of President James A. Garfield and Lucretia Rudolph Garfield. She married Joseph Stanley-Brown in 1888 and had three children; Rudolph, Ruth, and Margaret. Joseph Stanley-Brown had served as Garfield's private secretary in Washington, and organized the papers and books in the memorial library dedicated to the late president at the family home, Lawnfield, Mentor, Ohio. Stanley-Brown worked for the United States Geologic Survey, the National Geographic Society, in the railroad industry, and as a banker. The Stanley-Brown family lived first in Washington, and then in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, New York. Rudolph Stanley-Brown was a partner in Abram Garfield's architectural firm in Cleveland, Ohio, and married Katherine Oliver in 1922. Margaret Stanley-Brown was a surgeon. Ruth Stanley-Brown attended Vassar College, worked in publishing for several years in New York, and married Herbert Feis in 1922. In 1962, Ruth published a children's book, Mollie Garfield in the White House, based on her mother's diaries. The collection consists of correspondence between Mary Stanley-Brown and her daughter, Ruth Stanley-Brown Feis and other Garfield, Stanley-Brown, and Feis family correspondence, including that between Helen Newell and James Rudolph Garfield during their courtship and first year of marriage. Other family correspondents include Joseph Stanley-Brown, Rudolph Stanley-Brown, Margaret Stanley-Brown, and Abram Garfield. The collection also includes manuscripts, verses, plays, stories, memoirs, diaries, lectures, scrapbooks, illustrations, and notebooks of Mary Garfield Stanley-Brown and other family members; genealogical data for the Ballou, Rudolph, Garfield, and Stanley-Brown families; and notes, drafts, and correspondence relating to Ruth Stanley-Brown Feis' children's book, Mollie Garfield in the White House, published in 1962. Also of interest are the travel observations and lectures of Joseph Stanley-Brown, who was widely traveled in the American West, having accompanied John Wesley Powell and the U.S. Geological Survey on several trips. Several family members produced stories, verses, plays, illustrations, and memoirs, which are included. Abram and Rae (Sara) Garfield's illustrated manuscript "Two Portage County Legends" and Joseph Rudolph's memoir of his Civil War service are included. | | | | Call #: | MS 4571 | | | | Extent: | 6.80 linear feet (17 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Stanley-Brown, Mary Garfield, 1867-1947. | Stanley-Brown, Joseph, 1858-1941. | Garfield, James A.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | James Rudolph Garfield Papers
| | | | Creator: | Garfield, James Rudolph | | | | Dates: | 1879-1909 | | | | Abstract: | James Rudolph Garfield was the son of United States President James A. Garfield and Lucretia Rudolph Garfield. He graduated from Williams College and Columbia Law School, and practiced law in Cleveland, Ohio, with his brother, Harry Augustus Garfield. James married Helen Newell in 1890. They had four sons; John N., James A., Rudolph, and Newell. He served in the Ohio Senate 1896-1900, and was appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt to the U.S. Civil Service Commission in 1902, and to the Department of Commerce and Labor, as the first commissioner of Corporations, 1903-1907. He then served as Roosevelt's Secretary of the Interior from 1907-1909. He backed Roosevelt's New Progressive Party in 1912, and was defeated as the reform candidate for Ohio governor in 1914. He resumed his Cleveland law practice, became prominent in local Republican politics, and was a member of several civic organizations, including the Chamber of Commerce, the Western Reserve Historical Society, the Cleveland Association for the Hard of Hearing, and the Cleveland Foundation. The collection consists of three scrapbooks of photographs, mementos, invitations, programs, reprints, family history, correspondence, newspaper clippings, political cartoons, and cards from his college years, early married life, and life in Washington. The scrapbooks also cover the career of Garfield's father-in-law, John Newell, president of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, and contain reprints, memorials, and photographs of Poore, Hills, Garfield, Rudolph, and Ballou family members, and of Lawnfield, the Garfield family home in Mentor, Ohio. The scrapbooks provide a picture of Garfield's college life and early career, and of Washington social life during the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt, as well as cartoon and newspaper commentary of Garfield's activities. | | | | Call #: | MS 4573 | | | | Extent: | 0.60 linear feet (3 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Garfield, James Rudolph, 1865-1950. | Garfield, Helen Newell, 1866-1930. | Newell, John. | Garfield family. | Newell family. | Poor family. | Hill family. | Rudolph family. | Ballou family. | Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919. | James A.
