| | | | Creator: | Ford, David K. Family | | | | Dates: | 1791-1993 | | | | Abstract: | The Ford family were prominent lawyers, philanthropists, and businessmen of Cleveland, Ohio, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The collection consists of genealogies, biographical sketches, correspondence, diaries, journals, account books, appointment books, ledgers, stock certificates, minutes, leases, articles of incorporation, wills, deeds, corporate inventories, maps, newspaper and magazine clippings, tax assessments and returns, diplomas, certificates, military orders, and discharge papers. Material is included on several banking institutions, including Garfield Savings Bank, The Western Reserve Trust Company, Metropolitan National Savings Bank, and the East End Savings and Trust Company. Material on Ford family involvement in the construction and management of the Williamson Building is included, as is family involvement in other real estate enterprises, including The New Amsterdam Company, One Euclid Company, and the Ford McCaslin Company. Involvement in various legal firms by H. Clark, Horatio, and David K. Ford is well documented, as is David K. Ford's role in the organization and operation of the Lubrizol Corporation and Lubrizol Foundation. Family involvement with the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, and with other philanthropic and social service organizations, such as the American Red Cross, the Maternal Health Association, University Hospitals, and the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University, is documented. Family members were also involved with the Congregational City Missionary Society, the Congregational Home Missionary Society, the Schauffler Missionary Training School (later Schauffler College of Religious and Social Work), and the National Council of the Congregational Churches of the United States. David K. Ford's involvement with Defiance College is documented. David and Elizabeth Brooks Ford's commitment to community service and social reform is well documented in this collection, including correspondence with others sharing their interests, such as Ralph Hayes of the City Club, Dorothy Adams Hamilton Brush with the Maternal Health Association, Agnes Brooks Young with the Cleveland Playhouse, and Katherine Gill Brooks of the Visiting Nurse Association. Of particular interest is the correspondence of H. Clark Ford with the notorious swindler Cassie Chadwick.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Oliver Kingsley Brooks Sketches
| | | | Creator: | Brooks, Oliver Kingsley | | | | Dates: | 1861-1995 | | | | Abstract: | Oliver Kingsley Brooks was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1845. His art studies in Cleveland and New York City were interrupted by the American Civil War, when Brooks joined the 150th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, serving as a corporal in 1864, during which time he took part in the defense of Washington, D. C. After contracting malaria, he returned to Cleveland and entered into business with his father's firm, Huntington and Brooks. Brooks became a prominent Cleveland businessman. He maintained a lifelong interest in art, serving as vice president of the Cleveland Art Club. He was also a book collector, leading to membership in the Rowfant Club. Other organizations to which he belonged included the Western Reserve Society, Sons of the American Revolution; the Union Club; and Troop A, Ohio National Guard. He married Harriet Ellen Gill in 1884. They had two daughters. Brooks died in 1914. The collection consists of sketches, sketchbooks, drawings, watercolor paintings, portraits, photocopies of sketches and watercolors, a photograph, photocopies of photographs, a biographical essay, a genealogical chart, and an essay written by Brooks. The collection is of value to those studying Civil War history, army life during that war, and general scenes of nineteenth century life. The sketches include views of Civil War buildings, such as Fort Slemmer in Tennessee and the barracks at Fort Bunker Hill, Washington, D.C., and drawings of Civil War scenes of camp life done during 1864. Also included are general scenes of nineteenth century life ca. 1860-1880s; including people, landscapes, boats, lighthouses, churches, houses, and other buildings. | | | | Call #: | MS 4741 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Brooks, Oliver Kingsley, 1845-1914. | Brooks family. | Brooks, Charles E., 1851-1921 -- Portraits. | Brooks, William Keith, 1848-1908 -- Portraits. | United States.
