Diaries, correspondence, family papers, and photographs of a graduate nurse from Hortonville, Wis., who from 1918 to 1947 worked as a clerk and statistician-economist for the U.S. Coal Commission of the Bureau of Mines. Included are girlhood letters and a 1906 senior class-meeting notebook from Jennings Seminary in Aurora, Ill., and the Chicago Training School, both girls' boarding schools; letters and reminiscent articles about nursing and nurses' training, circa 1908-1918, at St. Luke's Hospital, Racine, Wis.; and files on homes in Florida and Lake Tomahawk, Wisconsin. Among the correspondence are letters from Davies' niece, Lt. Col. Frances M. McClurkin, an Air Force nurse, 1955-1975, who was stationed in Japan and the Philippines; and letters from German and English women after World War II. On microfilm is a scrapbook which includes material on the National Recovery Administration, the United Mine Workers and John L. Lewis, employment discrimination against married women, and World War II. Family papers include a notebook of John R. Davies, Hazel Davies' husband's grandfather, concerning his invention of a pressed paper railroad car wheel, and genealogical information on the Robert E. Lee family, believed to be relatives of Davies' husband.
