The Louis J. Taber Papers
The Louis J. Taber Papers consist of nineteen 16" boxes and eight miscellaneous (non-Cmt) boxes of papers, paluDhlets, photographs, and souvenirs, covering the period from around 1870 to 1958. ~e bulk of the material covers the years 1920 to 1950. There is no logical order l~er within the boxes or the folders (although the material in the folders appears to have been chronologically arranged at some time). After a prelilninary survey of the entire collection, I would like to propose the following method of arrangement:
I. GRANGE
Since between 9 to 11 boxes of the material concerns Taber's work as Grand Master of the National Grange (1923-1941). I feel that this material should be collected together. Tne papers are mainly the Master's correspondence and speeches. Also, the majority of the pamphlets (estimated 5 boxes) are on the Grange.
II. POLITICAL
Lfesl that this category is necessary to differentiate political matter fram that of the Grange due to the supposed non-political nature of the Grange. In addition to Taber's work as a private citizen for the Republican Party (including his candidacy for the Ohio Senatorial nomination in 1932, his recommendation as a possible Secretary of Agriculture in 1932 under Hoover, and his oppOSition to many New Deal programs). I would include his official work on several federal agricultural commissions and his partiCipation in The International Institute of Agriculture Conference in 1926. as political activities.
III. FAR."!ERS' AND TRADERS' LIFE DlSURANCE CO!1PANY
In spite of the insurance company's direct connection with the Grange. its importance in Taber's career (with his 1941 retirement as National Master, Taber assu."ed the active presidency of this company) and the large amount of material (about 6 boxes) make another division necessary.
IV. PERSONAL
This category is necessary in order to distinguish Taber's private business (fann accounts and stocks), travel souvenirs (postcards, pictures, programs, and diaries), and family correspondence with his wife, Edna Bailey Taber, and sons, Paul and Francis (Pete), from his public activities. I also feel that Taber's work on various committees and community activities, like the Boy Scouts of America, The National Highway Users, and Ohio Council of Churches, should be included in this category.
V. PHOTOGRAPHS
There are ~t least Z box~s of photos, many unidentified, of family groups and of Grange Conventions.
/2307 p. 2
VI. PAl'1PHLETS
The approximately 5 boxes of pamphlets would most profitably be divided into categories similar to those necessary for the papers. The large n1llllber of duplicates (more than 2 copies) have been separated from the others.
vn. NE'NSPAPERS
At least one and a half boxes of newspapers (mostly Taber's home town weekly, !!:!!!. Barnesville Enterprise) and thousands of clippings pertaining to Taber and his family are unarranged.
VIII. ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST
1. Grange Historical lolaterial: original letters to Rev. S. H. Ellis from O. H. Kelley and other founders of the Grange, 1875-1877.
2. Original letters from: Ezra Taft Benson, Pearl S. Buck, calvin Coolidge, Thomas E. Dewey, Helen Keller, Herbert Hoover Franklin D. Roosevelt, Robert A. Taft, and others. AlISO, !lorcH, O;:,+el.(, Fis\o.er.
