- Description:
- This small collection contains personal memorabilia and correspondence collected by mother and daughter Ursula M. Greene Lowell (1861-1936) and Ruth Lowell Oliver (1902-1994). Ruth was Ursula's only child with her husband Herbert "Bertie" J. Lowell (1861-1935). Among Ursula Greene Lowell's materials are several cabinet card photographs and tiny matted tintype photos, most taken in New York State, and all but one (S. A. Greene) are unidentified. There are some pieces of family correspondence dating from 1802 to 1847. Ruth Lowell Oliver was born when both of her parents were 40 years old. Based on a small amount of her memorabilia, she attended Lansing High School in approximately 1919-1921. She also attended both Michigan Agricultural College (Michigan State University) and Michigan State Normal School (which became Eastern Michigan University). In census records she was listed as a teacher. Her husband Glen A. Oliver (1889-1970) was 15 years older and a farmer. They lived in a rural area near Wacousta in Clinton County, where their parents and grandparents had lived, for most of their lives. They did not have children. Ruth's memorabilia includes several photographs of women's sports teams from M. A. C. dated 1922-1925. There is also a photograph printed on pink paper of a bonfire, "Michigan Aggie Bonfire, Nov. 10, 1922." The collection contains approximately 120 letters sent to Ursula Greene between 1882 and 1888, with their original envelopes, and another 38 letters and postcards between Ruth Lowell and her parents from about 1919, also with envelopes. 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 two patient account ledgers from the medical practice of Dr. J. S. North of Lansing, Michigan, and one autograph book belonging to Louisa Buck North. The first ledger's records date from 1895 to 1902, and includes an incomplete index of patient names at the beginning. The second ledger's records date from 1896 to 1911 and also contains a name index at front. Generally the records are for a head of household, and each entry may specify which family member or resident was treated. Treatment details are sparse, usually explained as "Visit & med." with the cost of service. Sometimes the entries are for services or products Dr. North obtained, such as threshing or lumber. Louisa Buck North's autograph book mostly records her farewell from New York state in 1841, when she left for "the wilds of Michigan."
