Summary:

Collection contains a scrapbook that details the experiences and correspondence of Edith Lee, a student at Fairmount Seminary in the 1910s in Washington, DC.

Scope and Contents:

This collection consists of the loose pages and covers of the scrapbook Lee created using materials from her time at Fairmount seminary and is extremely fragile. The pages are not in chronological order, but for the most part have materials from 1912 to 1916. The scrapbook is annotated by Lee and filled with her drawings. It contains a wide range of correspondence, including telegrams and letters, photographs, postcards, watercolor paintings and other drawings, dance cards (including a metal bangle with a dance list), ribbons and other textiles, and a variety of three-dimensional objects. There are cartoons and fashion sketches, as well as watercolor paintings that she made. The scrapbook mainly focuses on recording the events Lee attended and messages she received, though there are many photographs of her and her friends in casual and costume dress. It includes photographs of Rock Creek Park in D.C. It includes tickets and a program for a women's suffrage march held in 1913 in D.C. There is also a Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) pamphlet. The scrapbook offers a look at society practices between women in Washington at the time.

Although limited, the scrapbook does have information on Fairmount Seminary itself, mostly relating to its teachers. Assistant Principal Judith Steele is noted most often, and the scrapbook includes an image of her. It also has several programs and booklets pertaining to the Naval Academy, including copies of the Log of the US Navy. It also has programs and invitations for Winter Hops and Middies Dances held at the academy. It contains materials from Triple 6 fraternity's Christmas balls. It also contains Lee's short correspondence with John Sharp Williams, a Representative from Tennessee. The collection provides insight for research on girls' education in the early 20th century, particularly the culture girls developed at boarding schools. It also has a unique lens on early 20th century history of Washington, D.C. The collection may also be useful in the study of the history of the Navy Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

The scrapbook is in poor condition as many of the pages are brittle, torn, and unable to support the weight of the objects attached. The pages are no longer bounded to the covers of the scrapbook. Scrapbook pages have been interleaved with paper to prevent the tranfer of acid from newspaper clippings, telegrams, etc. The scrapbook is also housed into two boxes to better manage the weight of the object. Researchers should handle the book with extreme caution and care.

Arrangement:

Collection is arranged into one series.

Biographical / Historical:

This scrapbook belonged to Edith Youdale Lee and chronicles the time she spent at Fairmount Seminary in Washington, D.C. It was an Episcopal school for girls, offering two years worth of college work preparatory to college. It was located in Northwest Washington and ceased operation in the 1940s. For most of its life, the seminary was headed by Arthur Ramsay. Several influential figures spoke at the seminary during Edith's time, including Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan and eugenicist David Starr Jordan. The seminary offered women diplomas and certificates, with focus on literature, music, art, and some mathematics. It advertised itself as a "city school with country sports" where students would take trips into outdoor areas in Washington D.C. It also appears to have some loose connection to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, as Fairmount students frequently attended dances and events at the academy. Fairmount hosted students from across the South, Northeast, and Midwest, as well as the odd student from California.

Edith Youdale Lee (later Brown) was born in 1898 in Memphis, Tennessee to Anna Youdale Lee (1860-?) and Robert Edward Lee. Her father died shortly after her birth in 1900. She was the youngest of three siblings, and her oldest brother Everett Dean Lee was involved in the cotton linting business. Her sister Louise (1887-1952) married Wilkie C. Thacker (1890-1956). She and her mother, Anna, lived in several locations in Memphis but spent extended time living in the Gayoso Hotel. Her mother is listed as the head of household for much of Edith's young life, and they were wealthy enough to employ a servant. In 1912, she began studying at Fairmount Seminary, where she graduated with a certificate in 1916. She met her future husband Midshipman Leon Fredrick Brown (1895-?) while living in D.C. They were married in 1917 and had a daughter, Edith, in 1918. Brown remained in the Navy for some time, before the family moved to Los Angeles, CA, where he worked for an insurance company. Information on Edith herself is unfortunately limited.

Date:

Scope and Contents:

The series contains a substantial amount of materials documenting the life of Solomon in Stockton, California. It is one of the most completed groups of materials documenting various aspects of his life. Materials relating to his education include an accounting workbook, materials relating to Business English and Mathematics for colleges, and science books such as The Science of Eugenics and Tolon-Anan sa Pagnambal, documenting the methods, contents, and educational philosophies in the 1920s. Materials relating to Pablo's personal details include his Identification and Social Security cards, photographs of army documents, and healthcare information from the 1940s to the 1970s, documenting various aspects of Pablo's personal and historical record. Materials relating to the Legionarios del Trabajo such as his 1939, 1941, and 1959 membership badge and black and white photographs of Solomon and other members highlight Pablo's dedication to his membership in the fraternal organization. Primary materials in this series consist of correspondences from Pablo's sibling, Pilar Solomon in Bataan, Philippines. The contents of letters are written in English and Tagalog, and those written in Tagalog are translated into English. The letters primarily cover the topic of family life and some economic struggles in the Philippines.

Biographical / Historical:

Pablo M Solomon was born on June 12, 1903 in Pilar, Bataan, Philippine Islands.* According to the 1930s United States Federal Census, Pablo immigrated in 1919. So far, this is the only record that indicates a date of when Pablo left the Philippines. By 1930, Pablo was naturalized in the United States, becoming a United States citizen. He was a single man, who lived on Folsom Street in San Francisco, California, as a servant working privately for an employer. At this time, he was living in a household with twenty other individual lodgers. Although no historical record provides any details of the early life of Pablo, he was able to read and write English which can be assumed that Pablo attended some form of Grammar School. On February 14, 1942, Pablo registered for the World War II draft. During this time, he stood 64 inches and weighed 126 pounds. He worked as a laborer in Mare Island Navy Yard. According to Headstone Application for Military Veterans, Pablo served in the US Army and ranked as a Private 1st Class in Company K of the 2nd Filipino Infantry, which was activated at Fort Ord the same month as his enlistment. This regiment received their combat training at Camp Cooke (now Vandenberg Air Force Base near Lompoc) and was later reorganized into the 2nd Filipino Battalion, where they would be sent to New Guinea and Manil, but never experienced any direct combat. On April 15, 1943, Pablo was discharged. By 1950, Pablo resided in San Joaquin, California. According to the 1950 United States Federal Census, Pablo worked as a cook on the farm. Before the census was taken, it was listed that Pablo worked 26 weeks and earned $700. At this time, he was living in a household with 18 other individuals, are majority of whom were Filipino men. Two of his housemates, Eusebio Maglinte and Julian Arofo are members of the Daguhoy Lodge of the Legionarios del Trabajo.* In recent historical findings, it was mentioned that Pablo was also a member of the organization and held a significant title of Secretary.

*The 1950 Census mentions Eusebio Maglinte and Julian Arofo, members of the Legionarios del Trabajo as his household members

Scope and Contents:

The series contains black and white photographs primarily documenting the activities of Legionarios del Trabajo: Daguhoy Lodge Number 528 in Stockon, California mainly in the 1930s. The photographs are primarily of significant social gatherings such as funeral services, banquets, and parades. Other images are of unidentified dignitaries. The materials do not provide information relating to the history of the organization. Instead, they document social, cultural, and community life. The series serves as a primary source for understanding the history, traditions, and dynamics of the fraternal organization in the 1930s. Materials are arranged in chronological order.

Biographical / Historical:

Founder, Domingos Ponce was born in an era when the labor movement was gaining momentum in the Philippines. In 1919, he found himself deeply involce in the "Manila Electric Company" strike, a pivotal moment in the history of labor movements in the country. During this time, a Committee of the "Congreso de Filipinas" and strike leaders frequently convened secret meetings at the "Labor Hall" in Quiapo, Manila, to strategize and communicate with the striking workforce. The aim was to maintain secrecy in their discussions to protect their interests. These clandestine meetings were crucial, as they laid the foundation of a new labor fraternity. Under the leadership and vision of Domingo Ponce, a plan was hatched to established a secret society dedicated to the welfare of laborers. The society would be known as the "Legionarios del Trabajo." In these days, initiation rituals were developed and implemented, ensuring that only dedicated and trusted members were allowed to participate in the society's activities. Despite the secretive nature of these meetings, news of their discussions began to surface in newspapers, leading to concerns about potential leaks. Ponce proposed a rigorous initiation process to safeguard the fraternity's secrets and maintain the integrity of its members. The "Legionarios del Trabajo" was official formed, with Domingo Ponce serving as its first Grand Master. This marked the birth of the first lodge, "Kalimbas," numbered 101. Subsequent lodges, including T. Pinpin. Magat-Salamat, and Plaridel, emerged, spreading the fraternity's influence across Luzon. The society also extended its reach to the Visayas and Mindanao. The "Legionarios faced severe opposition from various quarters, including the Roman Catholic Church, which communicated members, and the Grand Lodge of Free Masonry, which initially banned mason from joining the fraternity. Despite these challenges the "Legionarios" persisted, and eventually, mason were allowed to be part of both organizations. Throughout its early years, the "Legionarios" encountered persecution from government officials who suspected Ponce of radical and communist affiliations. False rumors spread, further heightening hostilities towards the fraternity. Ponce, in an effort to protect the society, resigned as Grand Master during the 1927 National Convention. This marked a challenging period for the "Legionarios," but the society survived. Today, the "Legionarios del Trabajo" stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of its early members, with Domingo Ponce at the forefront of its history. The society continues to promote the values of democracy, labor, and unity among laborers, carrying forward the legacy of its founder, and the pioneering spirit of those who dedicated their lives to the cause of workers' rights and justice.

Date:

1970-1971

Scope and Contents:

The earliest material in this series is a Legionarios del Trabajo membership badge dating from 1961. There are also wage and tax statements documenting Simangca's wage and salary, employee information, and employer information. In addition, there is some correspondence written in Visayan from Dionero Ibanez and Lina M. Bagafsolo from Bohol, Philippines, sent to Arcadio Simangca in Stockton, California. The contents of the letters are unknown and currently in the process of translation into English. The materials do not identify any information regarding Arcadio's personal details. Instead, they document Arcadio residing in Stockton, California. The series serves as a primary source for understanding the workforce, economic conditions, and tax policies in the 1970s. Furthermore, the materials provide valuable insight into how people attempted to connect with people in another country during this time. Materials are arranged in chronological order.

Biographical / Historical:

Arcadio Simangca was on November 3, 1902, in the Philippines.* Little is known regarding Arcadio's journey to the United States. So far, the only historical record indicating Arcadio's emigration to the United States is The Index to Alien Case File, which mentions Arcadio arriving in San Francisco, California on November 10, 1927. The details of his family background are uncertain. According to Arcadio's World War II Draft Registration card, his next of Kin is Estanislad Hilario, who can be assumed to be a fellow member of the Daguhoy Lodge of the Legionarios del Trabajo since both Arcadio and Estanislad both listed 203 E Hazelton Ave, Stockton, California to be their residential address. According to a Social Security Death Index, Arcadio Simangka died on February 21, 1988.

Date:

1971

Scope and Contents:

The series contains a 1971 letter written in Visayan by Hentrades Saranza in Bohol, Philippines. The contents of the letter and the relationship between the correspondent and Julio are unknown. The letters are currently in the translation process into English. The materials do not provide any information relating to Julio's personal details. Instead, they document Julio's residing in the United States. The series serves as a primary source for understanding how people attempted to stay connected with people in another country in the 1970s.

Biographical / Historical:

Julio Saranza was born on July 4, 1907 in Ando, Bohol, Philippines.* The historical record provides no detail of when Julio left the Philippines. However, a Honolulu Arriving Passenger and Crew List mentions Julio departed from Hong Kong on February 15, 1919, aboard the S.S Tenyo Maru. Julio arrived in Honolulu on March 8 after a 20-day trip. It can be assumed that Julio, like many Filipino immigrants, was brought to Hawaii to work for the Hawaiian Sugar Plantation. In less than two years in Hawaii, Julio left the islands on August 10, 1921, and headed for San Francisco aboard the SS Maui. The ship contained men and women from different ethnic backgrounds such as immigrants from Russia and Portugal. So far, no records are mentioning Julio's occupation while living in California. However, it can be assumed that he undoubtedly set to work in the fields of Northern California like many of his counterparts. According to Julio's World War II Draft Card, by 1942, Julio resided in Sacramento, California. At this time, Julio was 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 125 pounds. Julio Saranza died in Feb 1990.
