Clippings of Humorous Material, n.d.

 File — Box: 11, Folder: 3

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Includes one scrapbook (1873) of newspaper clippings probably compiled by C.C. Comstock. The clippings relate to the national debate on the greenback versus specie monetary policies. Comstock was a member of the Greenback Party and was a candidate for elector on the 1876 national Greenback ticket. Scrapbooks #1 and #2 (1884-1938) consist mostly of newspaper obituaries and reminiscences of early Grand Rapids settlers that probably were taken from The Grand Rapids Herald or The Grand Rapids Press. There is a name index for these two scrapbooks. Another scrapbook (1910-26) relates to Huntley Russell's political activities and the Women's Suffrage movement. There is also one undated scrapbook of humorous quips.
