[SB509-F] Cat. 44,450

This scrapbook contains clippings from October 1913-June 1914 relating primarily to Madeleine Edison and her mother, Mina Miller Edison. There are numerous items pertaining to Madeleine's engagement to South Orange inventor John Eyre Sloane and to the wedding, which was delayed for a time because of religious differences between the Methodist Edisons and the Catholic Sloanes. There are also articles concerning the social activities of Madeleine and Mina, including a Halloween Ball at which the daughter of U.S. Speaker of the House Champ Clark was the guest of honor. Lists of duplicate versions of each article have been added in ink. The spine is inscribed "Miss M. Edison." The book contains 39 numbered pages, some of which are blank.
