History of Shakespeare Club, 1906-1981
Scope and Contents
According to the history, a group of Baptist Church women from Niles decided to start this group which met once a week to study Shakespeare and his writings. Within the typed history of the club there are a few historic photographs and documents from the Club including a menu from a 1907 luncheon and photographs dating from 1930. For the most part the photographs are identified with the exception of the later images especially those from the 1981 75th anniversary luncheon. There is no indication as to how much longer, past 1981, the club existed. The collection came to the Archives from Janet Houseman, whose mother, Ethel Rice, was a member. They had been housed at the Baptist Church in Niles which no longer wanted them.
