Goethe Family, etc., 1910-1917

Contains scrapbooks compiled (presumably) by Charles’ father, H.J. Goethe. These scrapbooks contain newspaper articles, columns, printed pictures, political cartoons, and ads. The topics vary widely, but some examples include health, technology, family related items, and obituaries. Also included in the scrapbooks are photographs, postcards from California and international places, poems, telegrams, birth announcements, business cards, tickets, cigar sticker rings, and personal scriblings.

This series also contains memory books, featuring a commemoration booklet and books compiled for Goethe’s 90th birthday celebration (March 28, 1965). These books contain letters from friends, librarians, and organizations.
