A private journal dates between 1833 and 1840; Deming began the journal his sophomore year at Yale. A scrapbook (in very poor condition) contains newspaper clippings from the 1850s and 1860s, including notice of Col. Henry C. Deming's death in 1872. Lastly, a volume with a clasp contains family history. The two volumes not housed in the box are a Bible and a notebook with handwritten essays on a variety of topics.
