Papers, 1833-1952.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/39537445

Collection contains personal correspondence, often mentioning friends and relatives. There are also bills and receipts with the names of local people. Some receipts and promissory notes are of David Craig, perhaps James's father. Of particular interest are letters from D. Irvin Craig, James's son, written to his parents while a student at Hughes Academy in Orange Co. and at the Presbyterian theological seminary in Columbia, S.C. While in seminary, he was involved in a controversy over an unordained evangelist named Munhall. Students maintained that Munhall did not represent their type of Presbyterianism. He mentions the professor William Swan Plumer and was often critical of S.C. legislators in his letters. There is one letter from the W. Duke Sons and Company to Elizabeth Craig, providing information about that firm's employment policy. Other items include a subscription list for the Elm Grove School listing courses; a subscription list for the salary of the Rev. Pleasant Hunter Dalton, probably for his service to the New Hope Presbyterian Church; accounts; a photograph; a teaching certificate for Adeline Craig; a memorial poem; a commencement program from University Normal School; a convention program from the Laymen's Missionary Movement; obituaries; an essay on marriage; and other fragments. See also the Blackwood-Lloyd family papers.
