Chairmen and Trustees Boxes 10-19

These are files maintained individually by Edward O'Rear, Ross Sloniker, and Francis Hutchins, each of whom served as chair of the Mountain Fund. There is no other correspondence for O'Rear and Sloniker elsewhere in Fund records. These two administrations are thus documented most completely in Boardof Trustee minutes, in administrative records maintained by Fund secretaries Martin and West, and in the correspondence of trustee Francis Hutchins (from 1948-1988).

There is no separate series for Fred Bryant, who chaired the Board from 1967-1972. Bryant seems to have relied mostly on office files of secretary, Luise West as a repository for his files and much of his incoming and outgoing correspondence is filed in the latter's records (General Correspondence and Projects and Grants series). Fuller documentation of Bryant's administration exists in Board of Trustee minutes.

Board of Trustee minutes and Homeplace correspondence maintained by Lula Hale serve as the principal source of documentation of the activities of other members of the Board. The only records of a trustee preserved outside this collection may be among the papers of Thomas Poe Cooper, trustee from 1929-1958, held by the University of Kentucky.

The following is a complete list of trustees who served during the period of these records: L.G. Banning (1923-1934); J.C. Codell (1947-1948); Dewey Daniel (1952-1967); C.A. Gerst (1952- ); Lyman V. Ginger (1970- ); W.H. Hyden (1922-1932); C.N. Manning (1922-1947); Loretto C. Martin (1947-1951); N. Mitchell Meade (1970- ); F.W. Mobray (1922-1928); T.W.
