Collection Organization

The Young-Furst collection can be divided into two collections. The Eban Young collection is small and consists of five photos circa 1916-1924 from the Lima News printers and the International Typographical Union Local 296. One photo dating to 1924 shows the Sandusky News team. The Sandusky photos also include the Beach at Cedar Point, a fishing boat on Sandusky Bay and Sandusky Bay channel dredging. Other photos include a field in North Central Michigan, a shipping vessel on the Detroit River.

The Sylvester Furst collection contains numerous photographs on or around 1919. Many of the photographs depict camp life of U.S. soldiers stationed in Germany. The primary images are of Company B and scenes in and around Coblenz Germany. There are also photographs of sites in Europe including Paris, Brussels, and Metz.

The Furst portion of the collection also includes artifacts from Mr. Furst's career as a marine engineer on the Great Lakes. Included are Great Lakes Red Books for 1942 and 1962, Sylvester Furst’s Continuous Discharge Book and Certificates. In addition, there are images of the LTPPA convention from 1963 and 1966.
