Suffrage

A miscellany of materials, primarily genealogical records of a large number of families. The collection also contains files on the Hopewell Baptist Church in Fayette County, Alabama, the 26th Alabama Infantry Regiment Company F, Alabama land records, and on women's suffrage.

Mainly personal correspondence between Horace and Marian Chase during the early years of their marriage when they were separated by business or vacations. Also included are other family and social correspondence discussing family news, daily life, vacation activates, and business trips, as well as a letter from the Cook County Women's Suffrage Association concerning "first general reunion after the great fire."

A variety of materials related to several Alabama women, some of whom are well-known in Alabama and the nation, while others were simple women going about their daily lives. This is also the affirmative side of a debate speech presented by Benjamin F. Eborn at Southern University in Greensboro, Alabama, on the question "Is Woman Really Better Than Man?"
