The first part of this scrapbook, likely created by Founder Minnie Stewart Nelson Field, contains newspaper and magazine clippings on topics of interest to her, such as poetry and womanhood. The second part of the book, perhaps maintained by later members of the Stewart family, documents the lives and deaths of family members with newspaper clippings dating up to 1950.
