Scope and Contents note

The papers of Naomi Carrier (Mrs. William) Schopp consist mainly of correspondence of Mrs. Schopp, of Eaton and Ingham Counties, Michigan, her mother, Mrs. Joseph J. (Ada) Taylor, of Eaton County, and other relatives and friends. Included are correspondence between Mrs. Taylor, her sister, Nettie, and their mother, Marilla Collins.

Of interest are letters from Nettie (1893) describing the difficult birth of her child, from Ada (1914) discussing household tasks, and from M. A. Wilson (1913), Naomi's uncle, advising her of the importance of education and staying single. Also included are letters from Kalamazoo State Hospital (1930-1931) asking relatives to remember patients at Christmas, and from Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) acknowledging request for information on short courses (1930).

Also included are an order blank for memorial cards, an article (1913) from the Kansas Weekly Capital which advocates practical education in high schools, and a foreclosure notice served to Mrs. Schopp (1942) for real estate she purchased in Delhi Township.
