- Description:
- A small collection of correspondence and photographs related to the Whiteley and Zimmerman families. These materials were possibly collected by Nellie M. Whiteley Zimmerman, whose name appears frequently in them. The collection also includes a disbound, oversize volume of what appear to be personal receipts for all kinds of household goods such as paint or contractor services; personal items like clothing and perfume; antiques and other home decorations; insurance; utility bills; membership renewals for fraternal organizations, clubs, etc.; and lots and lots of pigeon seed. Nearly all receipts have Nellie Zimmerman's name on them. The materials from this volume date from 1929 to 1953, and represent many local businesses and organizations in the Lansing area, including their often illustrated letterheads. The Whiteley family home was located at 414 South Washington Street in Lansing around the turn of the century. Photographs of the home are included in this collection, as are several portraits both identified and unidentified. Some may not have been taken in the Lansing area. The correspondence in the collection is mainly of a personal nature, to Nellie (Whiteley) Zimmerman or her mother Elizabeth. Most dates from before 1900.
