| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Gospel Worker Society Records
| | | | Creator: | Gospel Worker Society | | | | Dates: | 1874-2006 | | | | Abstract: | The Gospel Worker Society (founded in 1895 by Reverend William Brunner Musselman) is a nondenominational Christian missionary ministry designed to reach people outside of an established church community, and to encourage them to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. This goal was reached by holding missionary meetings, daily colportage work, tent meetings and saloon work. In 1896 two branches of the Home Missionary Society were established, one being for men and one for women. In 1897 the Women's Home Missionary Society was changed to the Gospel Worker Society, and has remained the Society's name since. Although it started in Annandale, New Jersey, the Gospel Worker Society soon spread to various towns, including Williamsport, Pennsylvania. In 1907 the Gospel Worker Society (as well as their publishing company: the Herald Publishing House) moved their headquarters to Cleveland, Ohio. They resided in a fifteen-building complex on the corner of West Seventh and Jefferson Avenue. In order to stop distributing nondenominational literature that was not written by the Society itself, the Herald Publishing House was started in 1902 by the Society to print its own literature for distribution. After much expansion and numerous name changes the Herald Publishing House became known as the Union Gospel Press in 1922. In 1938 Rev. Musselman passed away, and his youngest daughter, Miss Mary E. Musselman, was elected as president, who led the nonprofit organization until her death in 1971. After Miss Musselman's death, Miss Julia P. Stabley was elected president until her retirement in 1990. Today (as of June 2007) The Incorporated Trustees of the Gospel Workers Society and Union Gospel Press is under the leadership of Mrs. Beryl C. Bidlen, who was elected president in 1990. In 1950 the Gospel Workers Society and the Union Gospel Press moved to their present locations (as of June of 2007) at the corner of Brookpark Road (State Route 17) and Broadview Road (State Route 176). The collection consists of group photographs of members of the Society as well as information on a house located at 2028 Corning Street in Cuyahoga County, a photograph album, and a scrapbook. | | | | Call #: | MS 4977 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Gospel Worker Society. | Women in church work -- United States. | Women in church work -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Women in charitable work -- United States. | Women in charitable work -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Women -- United States -- Societies and clubs. | Women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies and clubs. | Women in missionary work. | Church societies -- United States. | Church societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Societies, etc.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 3 | Title: | Emily Newell Blair Family Papers
| | | | Creator: | Blair, Emily Newell Family | | | | Dates: | 1785-1972 | | | | Abstract: | Emily Newell Blair was a suffragist, feminist, Democratic Party official, mother and writer. During World War I she worked in the press department of the Missouri Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, eventually becoming vice chair. Representing Missouri on the Democratic National Committee, Blair was chosen national vice chair responsible for organizing women voters and women's activities, and eventually rose to first vice president, organized 2,000 plus Democratic women's clubs, and helped found the Woman's National Democratic Club. In 1935, she was appointed to the Consumers' Advisory Board of the National Recovery Administration, and, in 1942, was appointed chief of the Women's Interest Section of the War Department's Public Relations Bureau. Her husband, Harry Wallace Blair, was U.S. Assistant Attorney General in the Land Div. of the Justice Dept. in the 1930s and later served with the President's Loyalty Review Board. The collection consists of personal, professional and family correspondence, published and unpublished writings by and about Emily Blair, diaries, speeches, personal and family memorabilia, and clippings. Series I and II form the bulk of the collection, Series II being largely Emily Blair's personal writings, such as diaries, speeches, published articles, typescripts of fiction and non-fiction, and typescripts of her autobiography. Blair family material consists of the papers of Harry Wallace Blair (husband), Harriet Blair Forsythe (daughter), James Patton and Anna Gray Newell (parents), and her McDowell family ancestors of Pennsylvania, particularly the correspondence of Alexander McDowell. The collection is useful for researching the history of women and the family in the early 20th century, the issues of feminism and women's suffrage, and the emergence of women as politicians within the Democratic Party. Notable correspondents include Cordell Hull, Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, and Harry S. Truman. McDowell family materials chronicle pioneer life on the 18th-century Pennsylvania frontier. | | | | Call #: | MS 4342 | | | | Extent: | 7.50 linear feet (18 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Blair, Emily Newell, b. 1877 -- Archives. | Blair family. | Newell family. | McDowell family. | United States.
