in August 1947. There are genealogical source materials on the Slappey, Aiken, Shi, Hollis, Singleton, Howard and allied families.
Included are two miniatures of Mr. Slappey's maternal grandparents, painted in 1851 by William Frey. Mrs. Slappey's interest

matters relating to the Slappeys. There is a small amount of correspondence with various educators and civic leaders. The
first Japanese edition of Gone With the Wind (volume one only), presented by John Marsh to George Slappey (a former roommate
