Collection contains a journal kept intermittently from 1894-1920. Included are discussions of her work in the Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. During 1894, Mrs. Crump recorded a description of a journey she took with her second husband, George Crump, a United States marshal in Fort Smith (Sebastian County), who was transporting prisoners to Kings County Prison in New York City. Mrs. Crump also describes a visit to U.S. Representative from Arkansas, Colonel Samuel W. Peel, and his wife in Washington, D.C. Personal reminiscences are comprised of Mrs. Crump's accounts of her Civil War years which include incomplete remembrances of a battle, and Joe Wright Crump's unfinished story of a Mr. Fancher's successful escape from Union troops near Harrison. Completing this collection are two short stories, one sheet of correspondence and a poem from Lamar Fontaine.
