- Description:
- This is a small collection of assorted family papers from the Edmond family of Lansing. It spans from 1850 to 1989 with the majority of the materials dating to prior to 1900. Items include club membership cards, event invitations and wedding announcements for many of Lansing's society families, business and personal accounting notes and diaries, and other personal records such as National Guard service certificates. The collection also includes some manuscript material: an essay about early Lansing, a description of a Bement Co. Labor Day parade float photograph, poetry by James P. Edmonds' father-in-law N. B. Jones, and others. John W. Edmonds was a prominent Lansing pioneer. He moved from New York State in 1854 and established a trunk and leather goods business, eventually partnering with Charles Cannell, a partnership that would last 36 years. Their business was succeeded by the Liebermann Trunk Co. Edmonds was also an organizer of the Lansing Fire Department and served as chief engineer for a time. He was Second Ward alderman, and also treasurer of the local school board for 12 years. His son James P. Edmonds served as City Treasurer before co-founding the Bates & Edmonds Company, which manufactured motors, in 1899. He was also known as an unofficial historian for the city of Lansing, collecting many early photographs and memorabilia. He wrote "Early Lansing History" which was published in 1944. See also the Edmonds Photograph Collection (2018-06-003).
