Marian Ledford Scrapbook, ca. 1936-ca. 1957
Marian Ledford's scrapbook album (ca. 1936-ca. 1956) contains several published biographical clippings about several of the Nashville military soldiers in World War II and "Nashvillians at Camp Forrest." Several of the clippings pertain to soldiers reported missing-in-action or killed during combat. Miss Ledford's scrapbook contains articles about the special social events hosted by the YMCA-USO during WWII, an organization in which she was affiliated with as a hostess in Nashville. Other topics and materials include articles about military insignia and uniforms, original letterhead clippings, marriage announcements, and several letters of Christmas and Easter card correspondence that the WWII military soldiers sent to Miss Ledford. The scrapbook includes travel memorabilia such as dining menus, art-designed napkins, and matchbook covers. Includes Marian Ledford's West End High School diploma and school-related memorabilia. The collection includes a few sports-related and Big Band souvenir programs circa the 1940s. Some, but not all, of the servicemen referred to in the newspaper clippings include Harold Clark, Charles Horace Warfield, William H. Anthony, Joe A. Watts, Bernard Curran, William Brantley, Walter M. Newland, James Albert Harper, Carl H. Castleman, Herman Norris Criswell, Alvin B. Tidwell, Jack Little, Charles G. Caldwell, and Sydney S. Thomas, Jr.
