| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | James A. Garfield Family Papers, Series II
| | | | Creator: | Garfield, James A. Family | | | | Dates: | 1871-1937 | | | | Abstract: | James Abram Garfield was the twentieth president of the United States. He grew up in Orange, Ohio, graduated from Williams College in 1856, became president of Hiram College in Portage County, Ohio, and was a lay minister of the Disciples of Christ Church. He was elected to the Ohio Senate, and in 1858, married Lucretia Rudolph. Garfield served in the Civil War, as a lieutenant-colonel of the 42nd Ohio regiment. He was a major general when he resigned in 1863 to take a seat in the United States House of Representatives, where he served for 17 years. Nominated in 1880 as a compromise Republican presidential candidate, his campaign was conducted from Lawnfield, his Mentor, Ohio, home. Garfield was shot on July 2, 1881, and died September 19. He was survived by his widow, Lucretia Garfield, and by his children; Mary, who married his former secretary, Joseph Stanley-Brown, Irvin McDowell, Harry Augustus, who became president of Williams College, James Rudolph, a Cleveland attorney, Republican politician and member of Theodore Roosevelt's cabinet, and Abram, a Cleveland architect. The collection consists of correspondence, a quit claim deed, memoirs, certificates of appointments, stock certificates, and genealogical charts. The collection is of interest to students of the Garfield, Rudolph, and Newell families. Certificates of appointment of James Rudolph Garfield signed by Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover are included. Helen Newell Garfield, daughter of John and Julia Poore Hills Newell and wife of James Rudolph Garfield, compiled her family's genealogy. Her mother's recollections of the Chicago Fire of 1871 are also included. An unsigned copy of a 1937 quit claim deed transferring Lawnfield to the Western Reserve Historical Society is included. Of interest is a tally sheet made at the telephone of "Uncle Joe" Davidson's general store, Burlington, Ohio, during the 1880 Republican National Convention. Other correspondents include Phillip Holland and W.H. Clapp. A letter of recommendation for Joseph Rudolph, brother-in-law of President Garfield, for service in the Spanish-American War is included, as is a letter signed in 1880 by President Garfield regarding a life insurance policy. | | | | Call #: | MS 4579 | | | | Extent: | 0.21 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Garfield, James A.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | Ohio Historic Preservation Office, Western Reserve Region Records
| | | | Creator: | Ohio Historic Preservation Office, Western Reserve Region | | | | Dates: | 1969-1990 | | | | Abstract: | The Ohio Historic Preservation Office, Western Reserve Region was a regional office of the state agency designated to regulate funding and organize and administer an historic preservation plan in Ohio. It was established in 1973 and located at the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio. After state funding ceased in 1981, the Historical Society funded the office until 1990. Eric Johannesen served as the preservation officer. The Western Reserve Region includes 12 counties in Northeast Ohio. The collection consists of nomination forms, inventory forms, correspondence, photographs, and research material relating to the office's National Register of Historic Places program and the Ohio Historic Inventory program collected during the office's operation at the Western Reserve Historical Society. The first program was to recognize and nominate important historic structures within the region to the National Register of Historic Places. The second program was an on-going survey to record all buildings, sites and structures of architectural and historic significance in the state. The files include building and district histories, property records, architectural reports, and information on historic status. These files will be useful to professional preservationists, students of history and architecture, land-use planners, various local and county agencies, and neighborhood researchers. | | | | Call #: | MS 4569 | | | | Extent: | 6.40 linear feet (7 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Ohio Historic Preservation Office, Western Reserve Region. | National Register of Historic Places. | Ohio Historical Society. | Western Reserve Historical Society | Ohio Historic Inventory. | Historic buildings -- Ohio -- Conservation and restoration. | Historic buildings -- Western Reserve -- Conservation and restoration. | Historic buildings -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Conservation and restoration. | Historic sites -- Ohio -- Conservation and restoration. | Historic sites -- Western Reserve -- Conservation and restoration. | Historic sites -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Conservation and restoration. | Architecture -- Ohio -- Conservation and restoration. | Architecture -- Western Reserve -- Conservation and restoration. | Architecture -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Conservation and restoration. | Historic preservation -- Ohio. | Historic preservation -- Western Reserve. | Historic preservation -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
