Kreider, Samuel L. Papers of Samuel L. Kreider, 1637-1953 (bulk 1856-1953).

Title: Papers of Samuel L. Kreider, 1637-1953 (bulk 1856-1953).

The Manuscripts series contains various poems, stories, and historical accounts written by Samuel L. Kreider. Many of these accounts relate to individuals like Charles Victor Hall and Mary Hall (original homesteaders of Los Angeles' West Adams area), structures like the Los Angeles High School, and other California histories. It also includes notes, reports, and other documents from the Friday Morning Club and its prominent members. Beyond the private papers, this series holds many documents relating to U.S. trade with Japan and the federal General Accounting Office branch in Los Angeles. There is also a Japanese poem. The series is arranged in alphabetical order and then chronologically. The Correspondence series is primarily related to Samuel L. Kreider. Most of the letters are work-related with a large percentage of them pertaining to U.S. trade with Japanese businesses. Moreover, there is also private correspondence. Mr. Kreider corresponded with many locally and nationally prominent people. The list includes, but is not limited to Fletcher Bowron, Herbert Hoover, and Lansing Hoskins Beach. He also has correspondence from C.C. Julian & Royalties Co. The series also contains letters Mr. Kreider wrote to various newspapers and magazines about publishing his historical accounts and stories. Lastly, there is correspondence pertaining to Mr. and Mrs. Kreider's philanthropic work within the Los Angeles High School Alumni Association and the Friday Morning Club. One letter is specifically from Caroline M. Severance. The series is arranged in alphabetical order by author and then by addressee. The Legal/Financial Documents series is composed of many legal and financial documents. This series does not just hold information pertaining to Samuel L. Kreider, though he does have stocks from C.C. Julian & Royalties Co. Instead, most of the information relates to Florence Moore Kreider and Samuel L. Kreider's family. There is also legal and financial information of Volney Erskine Howard which Kreider probably collected during his research. Lastly, there is a document from 17th century about land in Mexico. This legal document, written from 1636-1637 and in Spanish, details a request from the audiencia of New Spain that people present their titles to "casas, huertas, y tierras" they hold in the marquesado del Valle (initially granted to Hernan Cortez in 1529 and held by the family until 1917). The audiencia was interested in the restitution of lands and goods belonging to His Majesty in the estado del marques del Valle that had improperly been claimed over the previous century by their current tenants. This particular case refers to Maria Zapata, widow of Francisco Tellez, concerning property in Coyoacan, probably the town where Cortez made his headquarters and currently a neighborhood on the southern edge of Mexico City. Zapata forwarded what titles she had, but these were disallowed. The fiscal for the audiencia, Juan de Rocha or Rosas, disallowed most of her documents. The series is in alphabetical order. The Ephemera Series is arranged in alphabetical order. It includes newspaper clippings, military certificates, programs, invitations, menus, postcards, and photographs. This material spans Samuel L. Kreider's life work. The newspaper clippings are sub-divided into themes. The themes include Art, Antelope Valley, Automobiles, California History, Charles Victor Hall, Early Days in Los Angeles, Japan/Japanese population, Los Angeles, Los Angeles High School, Los Angeles History, Lugo House/St. Vincent, Nippu Jiji, Osaka Mainichi, and others. The oversize folder connected to this series has eleven Japanese newspapers. All the material within each folder is arranged in chronological order.
