This collection consists of genealogical records and research, scrapbooks, diaries, personal writings, published materials,
financial papers, maps, and photographs. Margaret Elizabeth LaBoon made scrapbooks out of correspondence she received from
family and friends, as well as newspaper clippings about Athens and Monroe, Georgia and the people she knew from these areas.
The correspondence hails from Margaret Elizabeth LaBoon's vast collection and focuses on what her family sent her. The scrapbooks
contain either cards (for weddings, wellness, or gratitude) or newsclippings regarding individuals in Georgia that LaBoon
recognized, particularly in the "People I Know" section of the collection.
Diaries in the collection are written by several men in the LaBoon family. The two diaries of James Franklin LaBoon cover
his service in France during World War I. The two ledgers of William Lafayette LaBoon are part diary and part memoir, as he
related his past and present experiences. The 1899-1933 ledger includes genealogy, estate records for Peter LaBoon and Joseph
Allen LaBoon, and handwritten copies of the family's legal documents and letters. The 1934-1937 ledger is mainly a diary,
with some pages devoted to Byrum family genealogy and personal opinions on politics and government. In 1941, George Mason
LaBoon copied portions of this ledger into a more legible form within the same book. The numerous diaries of George Mason
LaBoon, from 1910-1929, detail his work on the family farm, including tasks like plowing, planting, hog killing, cutting timber,
hunting, and feeding livestock. He notes the routines in his daily life, such as his reading and meals, as well as social
events and church activities.
Financial papers include ledgers (1836-1907) from the blacksmith shop of Mason C. LaBoon and later Joseph T. LaBoon in Walton
County (Ga.).
Families represented in this collection include the Laboon, Foster, Fielding, Byrum, and Bradbury families.

McClatchey line back to John McClatchey from Ireland in the mid-18th century, but original documents are not present until
reaching files from the late 19th century. Family line connections are present in genealogy and research files, with some
focused files on individuals. Correspondence focuses on Marvin and Juliet before switching to their children, particularly
Marvin Jr., in the 1930s. Photographs show family lines in the late 19th century, continuing through to descendants in the
late 20th and early 21st centuries.
