Abstract:

Collected papers of Letha Williams documenting her interest in the history of Marinette County, Wisconsin and the town of Marinette's “twin city,” Menominee, Michigan. The papers consist of newspaper clippings, oral histories, and genealogical information about area families collected by Williams for a proposed book on the history of the area. The bulk of her research was concentrated in the following areas: local genealogies, community histories of local towns and Marinette county generally, indigenous Native American groups, and the primary and secondary school systems in the area.
