- Description:
- This scrapbook contains clippings of poetry by Edgar Guest from unidentified newspapers. Guest was born in England and moved to the United States as a boy. His first poem was published in the Detroit Free Press in 1898, and he was also the only person ever to have been named Poet Laureate for the state of Michigan. He wrote over 11,000 poems during his lifetime. The scrapbook may have been kept by Alfred Seymour's wife Maude. More than 75% of the pages have not been used. Due to the item's fragility it has not been digitized in full, only its cover. Contact the library for more information.

- Description:
- This small collection, created by Blanche Mabel Wood (October 4, 1882 - May 15, 1966), includes newspaper clippings about her, Mary L. "Minnie" Sherman, and John and Charlotte Broad. The Broads owned a home at 424 North Cedar Street in Lansing. Minnie was Charlotte's daughter from a first marriage. Mabel's mother died when she was five, and her father brought her to the home of the Broads, who were his distant cousins. Mabel graduated from high school in Lansing and also attended Olivet College. She was a teacher in the Lansing schools until 1949. The collection includes her correspondence with Minnie and others; samples of her poetry and other writing; clippings about her and the family she lived with; small notebooks from Minnie's club involvements in Lansing; and other biographical information.
