William O. Baldwin family papers, 1835-1993.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122368239

The William O. Baldwin family papers, 1835-1993, includes correspondence, financial and legal records, books, magazines, pamphlets, newsletters, maps, newspaper clippings, telephone directories, photographs, certificates and diplomas, blueprints, and scrapbooks. The bulk of the collection documents the varied activities of William O. Baldwin (1895-1987), especially from 1915 to 1975, as well as the many institutions and organizations with which he was associated. Additionally, the material documents in varying degrees the lives of many other Baldwin family members. Among Baldwin's documented activites are his dual careers with the Navy (1917-1957) and the First National Bank of Montgomery, Ala. (1926-1960); his brief ownership (1940-1945) of Southern Farmer magazine, which he sold to Aubrey Williams in 1945; his appointment to the Alabama Beverage Control Board as its first chairman (1937); portions of his service on the Jury Commission of the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Alabama (1956-1958 and 1966-1968); his chairmanship of the Alabama Citizens' Committee to Serve in the Interest of the State Hospitals and the Public Health (1938-1941); his involvement with the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, which he worked with to establish a scholarship fund for African Americans; and numerous other business and civic activities, including his significant contributions to several institutions. Among these institutions were Alabama Christian College, Hale Infirmary (for African Americans), Lyman Ward Military Academy, Tuskegee Institute, and the University of the South. Also documented are some of the activities of Dr. William O. Baldwin (1818-1886) and A.M. Baldwin (1860-1931). Dr. Baldwin's medical career is documented primarily by three books, while his business career is reflected to a small extent in two folders. A.M.'s business career, particularly with the First National Bank of Montgomery, is documented in several folders. Additionally, the financial activities of many other family members are documented. The general correspondence series is extensive and contains much family correspondence. That series, in particular, documents Baldwin family life, including Loulie Ewin Baldwin Yung's (1905-1990) bouts with mental illness. In addition to numerous family members, correspondents with William O. Baldwin (1895-1987) include: William Berridge, W.C. Bowman, William G. Campbell, C.C.J. Carpenter, J.C. Carr, Donald Comer, John Doar, George Grant, F.P. Hereford, L.L. Hill, Lister Hill, Eldon J. Hoar, Robert Jemison Jr., J.D. Jolley, Walter W. Kennedy, Henry C. Meader, Gordon K. Meriwether, Guy F.
