- Description:
- Two scrapbooks of material collected by Marie and Lloyd Weyant of Lansing. The Weyants were long-time telephone company employees who later operated the Airport Grille, a restaurant near the Lansing airport, as well as a sister restaurant near the Grand Rapids airport in Kent County. Their daughter Marion "Babe" Weyant (later Ruth) was a well-known pilot. Mrs. Weyant also ran a business selling paper goods such as napkins and stationery. The scrapbooks consist primarily of clippings and greeting cards. The clippings are generally Lansing State Journal articles of human interest (obituaries, articles about a person's retirement, anniversaries) or articles from a variety of sources on state and national topics, such as the governor of Michigan or the Kennedy family. Greeting cards include birthday, mother's and father's day, and other holiday cards from the Weyants' children and others. There are also high school graduation announcements from Lansing and other schools in Michigan, and a number of funeral cards. Of note is a large advertisement inside the front cover of one scrapbook for a new brand of beer being sold at the Frank Preuss market in Lansing, undated. There is a silk first place ribbon in the Antler category from the M. A. C. Farmers Week in 1942. Some material from the International Order of Job's Daughters and the Order of the Eastern Star Chapter No. 30 (both Dewitt, Mich.) dating to the early 1960s is also included. Due to the fragility of these scrapbooks the contents have not been digitized. Contact the library for more information or to access the materials.
