This folder contains a copy of the Friends' Intelligencer and Journal, dated Second Month, 1895. The folder also contains multiple handwritten essays (authors not listed) focusing on Mendenhall family history. A document sent by Alice B. Hazard to either Mary or her husband in 1929 is a carbon copy of a transcribed dictation that focuses on the history of North Carolina Quakers. Another essay, written for the Guilford Collegian, includes a 4 - 5 page poem by Delphina Mendenhall titled "March of Emancipated Slaves to Ohio." The folder also contains biographical essays of various Mendenhall/Hobbs family members: George Mendenhall, Oriana Mendenhall, Pheobe Hobbs (1886), Richard Mendenhall (1896), and Minerva Thomas (written sometime after 1902). Various notes and lists related to family names, marriages, deaths, and dates are written on scrap paper and the back of essays. Mr. Jethro R. Wilson's obituary is also contained in this folder.
