Selected Records, 1925 - 1981
Scope and Contents
The Henderson Settlement Collection consists of the institution’s non-current records dating primarily from 1950-1976. There are some pre-1950 records, but most date from 1950, the year that founder, Hiram Frakes, left. Most of the information on the Frakes years is in the form of publications and historical sketches that Frakes compiled during the 1960s-1970s. Post 1950 program and administrative staff is documented through general correspondence, financial records, deeds, leases, and files dealing with community service and economic development projects. These persons include Stanley P. Mahan (1950-52), H. Ward Barter (1925-53), Glenn Evans (1953-66), Kenneth Fineran (1966), Robert Fulton (1966-70), James L. Reitz (1970-71), Donald Stillwell (1971-79).
The collection is divided into two series: 1: Operational and Vital Records, c.1925-76; 2: Historical Sketches and Publications, c. 1925-81.
