- 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).

- Description:
- The content of this collection centers on John R. Weaver (sometimes "John B." or "John W." according to the Lansing City Directory), a clerk at the REO Motor Car Company and its later incarnations, from 1903 to 1952. The collection is an amalgamation of personal photographs, newspaper articles mostly relating to John R. Weaver and the REO Company, and pages from what is presumably Weaver's scrapbook. The collection centers on Weaver's professional career and involvement with the REO Motor Car Company (later Olds Motor Works/Oldsmobile) and various organizations that stemmed from the company, such as the bowling team and the Quarter Century Club. He was also a member of the Elf Khurafeh, a unit of the Shriners based in Saginaw, Michigan and having jurisdiction over 26 counties in lower Michigan. All of the photographs in this collection have been digitized. Weaver began working for REO on March 1, 1903, "after a fire burned out the Detroit plant." He was hired as a shipping clerk, and was one of only 100 employees. Several photographs in the collection document his early days at REO. Eventually, he began working in the purchasing department. He was honored for 25 years of service on April 4, 1927; gifts included a gold pen and pencil set, and a bouquet of 25 American Beauties. At that time, he was second in seniority at the company to Charles Blade, of which several articles and photographs in the collection detail. Blade retired sometime between 1943 and 1947. Both Weaver and Blade received their 40 Year rings in February 1943. Weaver was active in the societies within the company. During the 1920s, he was a member of the bowling team with three other men. Several photographs and programs in the collection detail Weaver's attendance at company picnics, Christmas parties, and banquets. He also served as Secretary-Treasurer of the REO Quarter Century Club from the time of its establishment until his retirement in 1942. Many clippings in the collection are of Quarter Century Club meetings, Weaver's employment anniversaries, and company banquets celebrating long-serving members of REO. In a November 1942 company newsletter, the "Oldsmobile Cannoneer," he is referred to as a "veteran," though that could be in reference to his time in the company rather than military service. A photograph of a U. S. Army artillery crew firing a cannon, appearing to date circa late 1890s/early 1900s, may suggest that Weaver served in the U. S. Army as an artilleryman early in life; only his draft registration for World War II was found in genealogical sources. Two other newspaper clippings in the collection are human interest stories of American citizens of Danish descent, suggesting that Weaver may have been Danish. The pages of his scrapbook not only detail some of Weaver's milestones at REO, but several other prominent employees' as well. Charles Blade was the most senior employee of REO until after World War II. Another REO employee featured in the scrapbook is Berthold W. Nichols, who was killed by a crazed gunman in 1932. Several other notable events included in his scrapbook are the "March of Men and Motors" which took place in Detroit on January 11, 1939, and the Fisher Auto Body strike of December 1945. John Rhodes Weaver was born on September 2, 1880, in Addison, Michigan, south of Jackson. He had at least two siblings, Edward and Hazel (later Wyman). He moved to Lansing and began working for REO in about 1903. His 1904 Lansing address is listed as 417 South Sycamore Street. He married Marion (sometimes "Marian") H. whose maiden name may have been Hanse or Hansen, in about 1922, and they then resided at 526 1/2 South Grand Avenue. She was listed as a clerk at a state office. Eventually they moved to 328 Regent Street, where they lived for the rest of their lives. He retired from REO on July 2, 1952. He remained interested in historic REO vehicles after his retirement, attending several gatherings in the Lansing area. John Weaver died on September 18, 1967, at the age of 87. His wife and sister Hazel survived him. Marion Weaver died at age 80, on December 6, 1969. They are buried together in Deepdale Memorial Park in Delta Township, Michigan. This collection was obtained through unknown means, perhaps an estate sale, by David Caterino, who then left it to the Capital Area District Libraries.

- Description:
- The Lansing Poetry Club was formed in 1938 as an outgrowth of an evening poetry-writing class that was taught by Marjorie Rey Hanhardt. The club held its first meetings at Grove's Dinette in Lansing, and Mira T. Moore was its first president. The club published an annual yearbook beginning in 1939 as well as occasional anthologies; the first of those, entitled "Tapers," is not included in this collection and club members have identified it as missing. There are other gaps in the run of yearbooks as well. A 50th anniversary history book in this collection, "The Lansing Poetry Club, The First 50 Years: A History and Anthology" contains a section outlining the history and activities of the club over the years. Most of the available yearbooks have been digitized by CADL, as has a group of poetry readings from 1982 done by members of the club. The entire collection's contents are identified in the Container List; digitized items are linked from the Child Records.

- Description:
- Contains one scrapbook compiled for Claud Erickson and several loose unidentified family portraits by Lansing photographers. The scrapbook is printed on the front with "Claud R. Erickson. President. The City Club of Lansing. 1970-1971." It contains newspaper clippings, "Newsline" newsletters, correspondence, and other items related to Claud Erickson's election as president of The City Club of Lansing. Claud Erickson was born in Manistee, Michigan in 1900, and died in 1993. He earned four engineering degrees from Michigan State University and worked for the Lansing Board of Water and Light for 50 years, serving for a time as director and ultimately having the Erickson Station plant named after him. He was also involved in many other sectors including Ingham County Chairman of U.S. Treasury Savings Bond Drive, the Red Cross, and the MSU Foundation, among others. The seven loose photographs appear to be from much earlier and have no relation to the scrapbook of the City Club. They have not been digitized. One photo is dated 1892. This collection was donated by Jim Perkins.

- Description:
- This small collection contains personal memorabilia and correspondence collected by Anna Cherwinski Elg, mostly to do with her employment at the Reo Motors Inc. company in Lansing. She was involved in the union, Local 650, that represented Reo workers, and also a part of the Reo Girls Club (for female employees). A few photographs are also included. Anna was born in Otsego, Michigan, on June 17th, 1900. Her parents Michael and Mary, who immigrated from parts of Germany and Poland, had her and 12 other children. Anna married Berger Elg at an unknown date, and he passed away in 1948. She had no children and was not remarried. Anna died in Lansing on December 4, 1990. She and Berger are buried in Evergreen Cemetery. After Berger died Anna had a need to support herself, and began working for Reo. It is not known exactly which position(s) she held with the company, but her photographs of production areas filled with women employees show stacks of small mechanical parts and what appears to be polishing and possibly sewing operations. This group of five snapshots, from 1953, have been digitized. No connection has been found between Anna Cherwinski Elg and that of Lansing author Joseph Cherwinski. This collection appears to have been an estate sale purchase by David Caterino, who then left the collection to the Capital Area District Libraries.
