Subseries 1: Arthur Stone, 1863-1955 1.45 linear ft.ArrangementArranged alphabetically. Scope and ContentArthur Stones papers are primarily comprised of notes and texts for speeches and writings on a wide array of topics. Also included are correspondence, biographical material, and clippings. These include papers of a more personal nature, such as documents saved to commemorate landmark events (e.g. wedding anniversary congratulations, letters received at birth). The materials provide insight into the positions of the Vermont Republican party, Vermont history (especially the St. Johnsbury area history), and the practice of journalism. Stone appears to have participated in something called the Vermont Yarn Spinners, and widely collected anecdotes and jokes, both for use in his public presentations and for general appreciation. Also included is a friendship calendar, a desk calendar for 1908 with different inscriptions, quotations, or images contributed by friends and family members for each day of the year. |
