1Title:  Frances Payne Bolton Oral History Interviews     
 Creator:  Bolton, Frances Payne 
 Dates:  1989 
 Abstract:  Frances Payne Bingham Bolton was a Republican congresswoman from Ohio's 22nd congressional district. Bolton served on the committees of Indian Affairs (1940) and Foreign Affairs (1941-1968), participating in foreign aid hearings and conducting study trips abroad, including a trip to the Middle East in 1947 and one to Africa in 1955. She served as a congressional delegate to the United Nations Eighth General Assembly, and was involved with the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association and helped organize the Accokee Foundation to protect the Potomac shoreline across from Mount Vernon. Mrs. Bolton had a long-time interest in nursing and nursing education and provided funds to establish the nursing school at Western Reserve University, as well as founding the Payne Fund to assist a variety of educational and other charitable programs. The collection consists of transcripts of 16 interviews conducted with individuals who had known and worked with Frances Payne Bolton in her capacity as United States Representative from Ohio's 22nd District (1940-1968), as a member of the Republican Party, in her family and personal interests, or in her many philanthropic and advocacy endeavors. The interviews were conducted in 1989 by Leslie Anne Solotko as part of the project conducted at the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio, to process the papers of Congresswoman Frances Payne Bolton (MS 3943). Questions focused on Mrs. Bolton's personality and career; and her political, family, business, and personal interests. Interviewees included Viola Anderson, David K. Ford, Zelma George, Donald W. Gropp, Alice Hansen, Robert E. Hughes, Theodore F. Owen, H. Chapman Rose, Rozella M. Schlotfeldt, John Burns Simpson, Margaret Chase Smith, Robert Ware Strauss, Charles A. Vanik, Helen Wallace, Paul W. Walter, and Fred White.

2Title:  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.
