- Description:
- The Mead Family Collection consists of photographs, historical documents, and artifacts pertaining to Azel Mead (1784 to 1871), his descendants, and other relatives. The materials cover various aspects of the family's lives from 1833 to approximately 1960. This includes documents relating to Minerva Jeanette White Mead and her husband George G. Mead, who were involved in the spiritualist movement at the turn of the century. They were active members of the Haslett Park Club which held a yearly spiritualist retreat on Lake Lansing. Other materials relating to the family include Azel Mead's divorce papers and casual letters written between family members. The collection also includes approximately 800 photographs, mainly portraits of people, and houses in Mason, Michigan, circa 1900. Vacation photographs and a large number of snapshots from the family members who lived in Kansas are also included. This collection was donated to the Forest Parke Library and Archives by Shirley Sliker. Additional items in the collection document her research into the Mead family and the local spiritualist movement.
