The Clendenning Family Papers, 1850-1946.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/731025734

The collection consists primarily of two groups of letters. The first group were written by Arminda Holiday Clendenning of Freeport, Harrison County, Ohio, to her sister Ann Holliday Winder of Iowa, from 1850 until 1867. She writes of local and family news, life in the country, and later, as a young married woman, of her family and her husband's business. Several letters mention travels and migrations of family and friends to the West. The second group of letters were written by Robert Joseph Clendenning, grandson of Arminda Clendenning, to his family during the First World War. He describes his life in the Army Medical Department, his impressions of France and, later, of Germany, as a member of the occupational forces. Included in the collection are family histories, certificates, newspaper clippings, and photographs.
