Also included is Ruel Jarman's school notebook, 1919-1920, and an account book with sporadic entries 1918-1989 relating to personal accounts, farm income, crop yields, and military drills. There are also a few family photographs and several of the Seven Springs Hotel and the town itself, including two showing the flood of 1924, and a negative and photocopies of a hand-drawn map of White Hall in 1912. |
