A Guide to the Ellison Family Papers
Description
This is a guide to the Ellison Family Papers. This collection contains the correspondence of members of the Ellison family, as well as other documents, records, manuscripts, publications and printed materials related to and belonging to family members, friends and associates. Most of the letters in the collection are addressed to Beirne Ellison himself, but also significant parts of the correspondence belong to his father, Charles Ellison, his mother, Leona Ellison, and his wives, Gracie and Nannie Ellison, as well as other relatives, friends and associates.
Materials in the collection touch on education, business practices, and hotel management, as well as Southern mores, dating practices and courting in the late 19th and early 20th century. The collection extends about a hundred years, from the early mid-nineteenth century to the early mid-twentieth century. The bulk of the collection is from the 1880s to the early 1900s.
