Acquisition Information

These papers were loaned to the Library by Dr. W. Edwin Hemphill, Mary Washington College, Fredericksburg, Virginia, on January 13, 1942, and are unrestricted.

Scope and Content Information

This collection consists of ca. thirty items, 1876-1914, chiefly papers which came from the home of Governor William Hodges Mann (1843-1927) in Petersburg, Virginia. Mann served as Governor of Virginia from 1910-1914 and was known for his support of temperance and education.

These papers include: a brief undated speech by Mann before the Daughters of the American Revolution responding to the toast "Virginia"; a biographical sketch of Mann; miscellaneous typescripts, one of which is an essay on Ellandonan Castle in Scotland; a photograph of W. Edwin Hemphill with his graduating class; a copy book of poetry kept by Etta E. (Dorman) Mann; and copies of newspaper editorials concerning various issues during the administration of Governor William E. Cameron, 1882-1883.

Also present is a scrapbook of newsclippings pertaining to the Democratic primary race for the gubernatorial nomination of 1909 between William Hodges Mann and Harry St. George Tucker. Two prominent issues of the campaign, compulsory education and prohibition, were both favored by Mann.
