McCaughrin, Lucy Williams, 1877-1962. Lucy Williams McCaughrin papers, 1873-1998.

Title: Lucy Williams McCaughrin papers, 1873-1998.

Consisting of correspondence, pocket diaries, speeches, notebooks, contracts, minutes, student notes, teaching materials, and miscellaneous printed materials documenting McCaughrin's work teaching the hard of hearing and training teachers of hearing impaired adults and children, as well as her involvement with the American Hearing Society, and American Society for the Hard of Hearing. McCaughrin began to lose her hearing while still a young woman. She recalled that not even a hearing aid would prevent her from becoming "a social outcast," a handicap that inspired her to learn lip-reading and open the McCaughrin School of Speech Reading in Columbia, S.C. Other organizations represented include American Federation of Organizations for the Hard of Hearing, Speech Reading Club of Philadelphia, Columbia Society for the Hard of Hearing, and South Carolina Committee on Legislation for the Hard of Hearing Children. The correspondence is particularly valuable not only as a record of professional relationships, but also as evidence of the close personal ties which existed among a small group of women in the hearing-impaired teaching and leadership circles in the East and South, including Betty C. Wright, director of field service for the American Society for the Hard of Hearing, headquartered in Washington, D.C. In a letter of 6 Mar. 1947, Wright commented on a plan to assist deaf members of the African American community in Columbia, S.C., "I have had a letter from Bess Ferguson and she said she had talked to you about Mrs. Campbell's wanting to form an organization in Columbia for colored persons and that the Board of Directors of the Columbia Society would be glad to help in every way possible. I think that is the right attitude." Includes correspondence relating to family of James R. Garfield (1865-1950), son of President James A. Garfield, and his wife, Helen Newell Garfield (d. 1930), who co-edited a book, The Mentor Practice Course in Speech Reading for Adults, with McCaughrin in 1923. Other correspondents include J.S. Agnew, Walter J. Bristow, A.C. Flora, J. Rion McKissick, Calhoun Mays, O.B. Mayer, Jr., Anna L. Staples, and others. Other items include personal letters, 1873-1924, relating to the Hunt family of Newberry, S.C.; files, 1944-1946, on the Mary P. Wheeler Book and Garden Club of Columbia, S.C.; and 31 photographs, ca. early 1890s, relating to McCaughrin's student years at the College for Women [later Chicora College for Women] in Columbia, S.C.
