Evelyn Barber Metcalf Brewster papers
Collection – Multiple Containers
Identifier: MS-0092
Collection Organization
The Evelyn Barber Metcalf Brewster Papers, 1827-1969, mainly document the lives of several Metcalf family members. While there is little information about Mrs. Brewster herself, there is substantial material on her father, Clarendon B. Metcalf. The material is arranged by the type of document (diaries, correspondence), and each document type is divided further into specific groupings such as Clarendon B. Metcalf's correspondence. All of the maps, broadsides, pamphlets, books, and newspapers have been removed from the collection and placed into their respective areas of the Center's main holdings.
Two diaries written by Abigail Jones (1844-1848, 1854-1863) relate daily activities while Abigail lived in Sandusky County and later while residing in Findlay, Ohio. Scrapbooks mainly of news clippings provide information on the Hurd and Metcalf families. The major part of the correspondence consists of letters written to Clarendon B. Metcalf. Most of these letters are from Clarendon's mother, Lucinda August Capell, in which she describes daily life in Jersey, Ohio, (Licking County) from 1885 to 1890. The remaining letters to Clarendon are from his father (John Barber Metcalf), his brothers, several cousins, and acquaintances.
Following Clarendon's correspondence are letters addressed to Clarendon's mother and others to his wife, Evalina Hurd Metcalf. Evalina's letters precede the correspondence addressed to Evelyn Metcalf Brewster; Evelyn's letters are the second largest series of correspondence in the collection. Evelyn's letters are from her mother, grandmother, cousins, and acquaintances and date from 1895 to 1900. The remaining correspondence, from several different family members, relates information on family activities in New York, Kansas, Oregon, Michigan, and areas of Ohio.
Arranged after the correspondence are items of a diverse nature. Applications to the Daughters of the American Revolution and the extensive genealogical research conducted by Mrs. Brewster comprise the largest section of the remaining material. Also included are notes on Findlay's history, many wedding invitations and announcements, two unidentified account ledgers, a few legal papers, poems, and the family Bible. The Bible also has information included on Metcalf genealogy.
