Samuel Maner Martin papers, 1899-1984, undated.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/123551473

The collection consists of correspondence, a memorial, negatives, photographs, and a speech that span the period 1899-1984. The correspondence, which dates from 1905-1906, is mainly from Martin to his father and his brother Benjamin, describing the weather, his garden, family matters, and a trip to Hampton County to hunt and oversee some of the family's financial interests (farm rentals and timber-cutting contracts) there. One letter is from Martin's half-brother Luther Bostick Martin, who is seeking a position in a drug store. The 1959 memorial for Martin by Clemson Mason Lodge No. 254 describes his Masonic and public service activities. The speech was given by Martin at the laying of the cornerstone of Holtzendorff Hall (YMCA) on June 16, 1915; the May 14, 1984 cover letter from Mike (Julius C.) Hubbard, Jr. to Michael Kohl donating the speech is enclosed with it. The negatives and photographs, dating from 1899-1967, depict Martin (a few show him dressed as a Mason), his family and friends, faculty at Clemson University, scenes around the City of Clemson and the University, and events such as the groundbreaking for the second Clemson Methodist Church building c.1967 and the laying of the cornerstone of the Amphitheater at Clemson University in 1940.
