Dryer Scrapbooks

Description:

Two small scrapbooks of mostly newspaper clippings, a mix of local news items, obituaries, news items related to World War I, and poetry or humorous writing from national sources. A few photographs and ephemeral items are also pasted in. One of the scrapbooks includes a short written family history of the Dryer family, beginning with Von Dryer, a Holland weaver who moved to London, his descendants immigrating to Boston in 1677, and eventually E. A. Dryer, the grandfather of Howe Dryer, moving to Michigan. Howe and Alice Dryer were listed in the city directories in the late 1910s and early 1920s as living at 1018 West Michigan Avenue in Lansing. Some of the clippings mention them living in Delta as well. The last dated item in the scrapbooks is a birthday telegram to Mrs. Dryer from "The Kids" dated 1930.
