The collection consists of one baby book for Mary Ellen Orme, one baby book for Anne Ashley Orme, and one photograph album
from the wedding of Mary Ellen Orme.
The baby book for Mary Ellen Orme includes autographs from her parents, her weight up to five years of age, gifts her parents
received on her behalf, numerous photographs, newspaper clippings about Mary Ellen Orme in her childhood, a lock of her hair
at age 2, and notes about her firsts (steps, words, outing, party, etc).
The baby biographical record book for Anne Ashley Orme details many of the same things seen in Mary Ellen Orme's book - weight,
naming, firsts. However, this book is from 1891, and Anne Ashley Orme was born May 5, 1892. There are many photographs and
newspaper clippings about Anne Ashley Orme in her childhood.
The album is about Mary Ellen Orme's marriage to Lieutenant Robert Irving Gresham (who was stationed at Miami Beach, Florida,
in the United States Army Air Corps at the time) in 1942. Inside are newspaper clippings (announcements) and many photographs
of the marriage. Also included in the scrapbook are World War II pamphlets (from 1944) and a citation for a bronze star to
Robert Gresham. There are also more newspaper clippings and photographs from Mary Ellen's childhood.
