Abstract | Jordan S. Thomas was born in 1853 and lived in Wilmington, N.C. He attended the University of Virginia in the mid-1870s and was a member of the Delta Psi fraternity. Later, he appears to have served as in the Volunteer Fire Brigade of Wilmington. He died in 1921. The papers include two notebooks, 1874-1875, containing lecture notes on logic and German literature kept by Thomas while he was a student at the University of Virginia. The volumes also contain miscellaneous jottings, poems, and drawings. Also included are photographs, ca. 1873 and undated (probably all late 19th century), of Thomas's friends, some of his Delta Psi fraternity brothers from the University of Virginia, and members of the volunteer fire brigade of Wilmington, N.C., in uniform. |
