Loose Material from Bound Volumes, 1879-1882

The records (2 vols.) are mainly those of the executive committee plus newspaper clippings that report upon annual meetings and other activities of the Alliance. The clippings are pasted into the volumes in chronological sequence. The first 18 pages of volume one contain records of the “Oberlin Temperance League,” February 1, 1870, to May 1, 1874. This group apparently disbanded on the latter date because all cash on hand was turned over to the newly formed Alliance. Included are a few financial records, 1902-17, consisting of a bank book and receipts. There is also a “History of the Oberlin Temperance War,” 1882 (20 pp.; printed).
