Documents primarily reflecting her work as lecturer for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U.) in Kansas and surrounding states. Included are names of acquaintances, some presumably met in her temperance work, in autograph albums, 1889-1901; memoranda, contacts, facts & information useful in W.C.T.U. activities in her account, and note book, 1902-1917; and entries of family, W.C.T.U., & community events in her Diary (1912-1913). Also included is an autobiographical essay (incomplete) describing campaigning for and serving in the Kansas House of Representatives as the first woman in the Legislature. In addition, the collection contains a journal by her husband, Virgil Hooker Grinstead, of his move from Elk City, Kan., to Glasgow, Ky., June-July 1878, and his certificate of appointment, Mar. 22, 1889, to a Kansas District court judgeship.
