- Description:
- This small collection documents the formative years of Rex E. Schlaybaugh, Jr., who grew up in Lansing, Michigan. Schlaybaugh was the son of Rex Sr., who had served in World War II and then entered the real estate business with his father Ralph "Jack" Schlaybaugh. Rex Jr. was an athlete at Sexton High School who went on to Albion College and a long career at Lansing's Board of Water and Light. The majority of this collection is a large scrapbook or baby book that begins with snapshots of Rex Jr. when he was a toddler. Various personal memorabilia such as elementary school prize ribbons and schoolwork, newspaper clippings, correspondence, certificates, and many snapshots from early years through high school and perhaps into college are included. Some items have become loose or were never attached and have been moved to folders. Rex Jr. attended Verlinden Elementary School, West Junior High School, and Sexton High School, graduating in 1967. For some time in 1970 he seems to have served as an intern or volunteer for then-governor William Milliken. He served BWL for 32.59 years according to the plaque in this collection, and retired from there in 1981 This collection appears to have been an estate sale purchase by David Caterino, who then left the collection to the Capital Area District Libraries.

- Description:
- This collection contains photographs removed from three photo albums as well as several loose items. The majority of these photographs have not been dated or identified. The albums were disassembled due to poor condition. The donor was Marilyn Culpepper but it is not clear whether these materials were her own, or those of her mother, Florence Tressler. The first album contained cabinet cards, cartes de visite, and tintypes. Some were marked with Lansing photography studio names, others elsewhere in Michigan, and the remainder out of state or not marked. Most are not identified. The second album included several photo postcards that were addressed to Florence Tressler, mostly in Montpelier, Ohio. Other photographs show portraits, farm scenes, especially pickling cucumbers, some images and postcards from Brazil, Kalamazoo, and Ohio. The third album contained many unidentified portraits of young women, possibly Florence Tressler and her classmates at a women's college. There were more photos of cucumber and other farming scenes, and photos of school children who may have been Florence Tressler's students when she became a teacher. It is possible based on notes from the donor tucked in the album that she graduated in about 1909 from the Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio, which is now part of the Miami University. Loose items include portraits identified "Pictures of my father and my uncle, Holt, Michigan, about 1898" on a note by the donor. There are early 20th century photographs of hunting and falcons, the Lansing High School football team, and houses under construction or just completed on Christiancy and East Main Streets and at 301 and 509 Moores River Drive. Florence Tressler was married to Samuel Glenn Mayer, and their daughter Marilyn Marie Mayer eventually became Marilyn Culpepper. Some photographs in this collection have the name "Mayer" written on the back. This collection has not been digitized. Contact the Local History department for more information.
