- Description:
- This scrapbook contains approximately 100 pages of newspaper clippings collected by Alfred Seymour. The clippings cover a wide variety of topics and people, many of whom appear to have been friends and acquaintances of Chief Seymour from Detroit, Lansing, and elsewhere. Many of the clippings are local obituaries and marriage announcements. There are several loose items in the book, including some receipts for tuition at M.A.C. and membership in women's guilds for Maude Seymour. Due to the item's fragility it has not been digitized in full, only its cover. An index to death notices, obituaries, engagement, marriage, and anniversary announcements found in the scrapbook is linked below. Most announcements do not include a date or newspaper source. Contact the library for more information.
