Abstract | Lizzie Weaver Blackwood Freeland and her husband, Alexander Freeland, lived on a farm in the New Hope Community of Chapel Hill, N.C. They rented out two apartments in their home, mostly to University of North Carolina students and their wives, 1946-1965. The collection includes a scrapbook, 1946-1965, kept by Lizzie Weaver Blackwood Freeland. Each page contains information on a different student to whom the Freelands rented apartments, usually including the student's area of study at the University of North Carolina, hometown, and where he ended up working and living after school. Pages usually include photographs of the students both while they lived with the Freelands and later. There are also birth announcements and newspaper clippings related to the students. Also included are photographs and related items that were in the scrapbook, but not mounted on the pages. Most of the students who lived with the couple in the 1940s were returned World War II veterans. Many of the men were married, and the scrapbook includes information about their wives and the children they had after moving out. Many of the wives were students or worked outside of the home. The students usually resided in the apartments from half a year to two years, but Freeland kept in touch with many of her former lessees for many years. |
