Marty Family Collection, 1900-1960

Scope and Content Note

This collection is comprised of three scrapbooks and one folder of miscellaneous items. The folder contains photographs, a note suggesting Fred Marty inspect a specific cheese factory, various newspaper clippings, and documents relating to the Martys’ careers. The three scrapbooks contain a wide variety of news clippings most likely collected by Elizabeth Marty, Fred Marty’s wife. The clippings are on an assortment of topics, but primarily deal with the Marty family and the cheese-making industry. Other topics, such as a newspaper clipping from a German-language newspaper in 1900 depicting the new church of the Swiss Reformationists in an unknown location, are included as well. The scrapbooks also occasionally contain various ephemera such as programs and business cards.
