Newspaper clippings on various topics collected by lawyer Charles Ensign. The first two scrapbooks relate to cases in which a person's will was contested. The first case, heard in Connecticut Superior Court in 1896, involved Charles M. Pond and his brother Anson Pond, an actor. The second case was heard in Hartford Probate Court about the will of Henry Kennedy and these articles date from 1902-1905. The last scrapbooks are a combination of Hartford history, items from other historic towns in the state including Canton, biographies, articles about historic buildings and churches, court cases, and monuments, dating from 1905-1907. Each scrapbook was created by gluing articles onto the pages of printed catalogs for either books or music, and the articles themselves were primarily from the Hartford Courant.
