Miscellaneous (photocopies)
Scope and Contents note
The collection spans the period from 1818 (a document naming Elisha Young as a member of the Graham Philanthropic Society of Washington College) to 1977 (a map of Greensboro, Alabama) and is chiefly made up of the works, both published and unpublished, of Martha Young of Greensboro, Alabama.
The collection contains a limited amount of correspondence dating from 1885 through 1935 (arranged chronologically) and a good deal of genealogical information on her grandfather, Dr. Henry Tutwiler, her aunt, Julia Strudwick Tutwiler, and the Tutwiler and Young families.
The bulk of the material consists primarily of copies of Martha Young's novels, short stories and poetry. Most are typescript or clipped from magazines and newspapers and while some are dated, others are not. There are a few handwritten pieces. Depending on the series, these materials are arranged chronologically by date of publication or alphabetically by the title of the work.
The collection also contains several legal documents, photographs, pen and ink drawings, watercolors, maps and information about the Greene Springs School founded by Martha Young's grandfather, Dr. Henry Tutwiler.
