Papers, 1912-1924.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/39748741

The Noss family Papers consist primarily of letters written by members of the family of Christopher Noss. The principal correspondent is Noss's son Frederick. In letters to his parents and siblings Frederick describes being a student at Mercersburg Academy (1916-19) and at Princeton University (1919-23). His letters discuss his schedule, work and studies as well as the 1918 influenza epidemic and the possibility of service in the War. Several letters dated 1923-24 describe his teaching at the Massanutten Academy. Letters from his sister Annabelle (Anna Isabel, later Annabelle Noss Welty) were written when she was a student at Northfield Seminary in 1916 and at Mount Holyoke College 1917-19. They mention her course work, social activities and events relating to World War I, including the flu epidemic and the Armistice Day parade in Holyoke, Mass. Most of the other letters in the collection were written to Frederick by his father, his stepmother, his brothers John, George, Theodore and Henry, his grandfather John George Noss, and his aunt Emma N. Burkholder. The letters chiefly concern family news with occasional references to Christopher's work as a missionary in Japan. The collection also includes transcripts of all but two of the letters, compiled by Frederick's daughter Letita Noss, and biographical information about the family.
