June Wood Robinson Collection

Description:

This is an artificial collection of materials associated with a young woman named June Wood who lived on Lansing's East Side. They were found when a later owner was doing interior renovation, inside the ceiling of a home on Fairview Street in 2018. Because of where they were stored for many years, the documents are covered in coal dust. Most dated materials are from the 1930s. The collection includes correspondence of June's, and what appears to be a government class notebook or scrapbook. School grade cards for both June and her brother Theodore are also included. June Florence Wood was born in Lansing on June 24, 1920, to Florence and Herbert Wood. She had several siblings. On December 20, 1940, she married Robert Claxton Robinson, who was from New Jersey. He joined the Army and they relocated to Hawaii, among other locations. June Wood Robinson died on January 8, 1998, and is buried in the Massachusetts National Cemetery with her husband who died in 2017.
