Virginia Wooding Papers, 1880-1947

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/w/Wooding,Virginia.html

Virginia Wooding was the daughter of Emma Shephard Wooding and physician Benjamin Franklin Wooding of Denver, Colo. She married Bryan Hanks, a lawyer, in 1921, and the couple had two children: art administrator Nancy Hanks (1927-1983) and Larry Hanks. The collection contains the diary Virginia Wooding kept during her summer near Boston in 1914 and during her sophomore year at the University of Colorado in Boulder, 1915-1916. Also included are personal and business papers, chiefly correspondence, of Emma Shepard Wooding and Benjamin Franklin Wooding. Their personal correspondence discusses their upcoming marriage, politics, and daily life. Also included are letters relating to Benjamin Franklin Wooding's position as acting assistant surgeon in the United States Army and at Josiah Simpson General Hospital near Fort Monroe, Va., in 1898 (no items relate directly to the Spanish-American War); invitations; financial materials; and unidentified photographs, mostly of individuals, some of whom may be Hanks family members.
