The Society will be meeting in a few weeks, after which I should have more information. Smith College's Sophia Smith Collection and College Archive are interested in the photographs and letters, but the textiles (uniforms) are still a question mark. I will try contacting the YMCA and the Smithsonian if I can't find a place for them. Thank you for the gift and for watching out for posterity on our behalf. I know you saved these materials from the dustbin of history and it is appreciated.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082406276423678772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442846349063232268.post-24277769007530773522010-08-03T10:54:56.544-04:002010-08-03T10:54:56.544-04:00I, W.

For several years I have tried to find a proper home for the collection and have held it for display in an antique shop and now in a small private museum in Wolfe City, Texas. I will be sending you pictures of the collection which includes two uniforms she wore, her documentation for service with the YMCA, letters she wrote home during her service in Europe and some personal pictures of her. I also have a collection of other letters and photos taken during the war which you may be interested in. I am very happy to at last find a proper home for the collection and hope you will accept it as a gift from me. Photos and more information to come soon. Please feel free to publish any and all information I send you. Gratefully yours, W.

I found 10 references in the <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=KQUhAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA530&lpg=PA530&dq=%22Elizabeth+Spader+Clark%22&source=bl&ots=PJ8xLz2xxf&sig=iaAqAC9AwdRkkWFTd8nouEPh01M&hl=en&ei=V-9WTKz4HJHtnQeU7PzyAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CBYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Elizabeth%20Spader%20Clark%22&f=false" rel="nofollow">Smith College Monthly</a>), vol. 15 available at google books, where she was an editor (class of 1909).<br /><br />2. She is mentioned in the December 17, 1911 issue of the <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9E0CEFD91E31E233A25754C1A9649D946096D6CF" rel="nofollow">New York Times</a>), in the society section, as a maid of honor at the wedding of Miss Lucetta Tiebout Davies and Paul Beekman Roura in Brooklyn, NY.<br /><br />3. And most significantly, someone posted about her at <a href="http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.spader/19/mb.ashx" rel="nofollow">ancenstry.com </a> to the effect that the dress she wore while working at the Eagle Hut is on display in an antique store in Wolfe City, Texas.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024885323956340158noreply@blogger.com
