Box 5

Belonged to a Mrs. Whitson with daughters Margaret and Anna. One photograph of Thomas H. Whitson’s home tipped in. Has signatures of a number of Pennells (close family members), Smedleys, Whitsons, and Coopers

Autograph book, red velvet cover.

Commonplace book of Benjamin Whitson, most entries not dated.

Appears to begin as a commonplace book, with a journal in the back. Isabel Fisher is scrawled under the first entry, but in different handwriting. Ruth Fisher is written under one of the journal entries.

Commonplace book, two newspaper clipping obituaries.

Drawings and hand-drawn maps, geometry problems. One drawing of a statue bears the date (on the statue base) 1879, but that seems likely to be a feature of the statue, not a date for the drawing.

Autograph album inscribed to Phebe P. Cooper.
