Portrait of John Prindle Scott, Inscription to Mrs. Wayne B. Wheeler, ca. 1927

There are two photographs in the collection. One is a mounted portrait of John Prindle Scott, Oberlin Conservatory graduate in 1900, author and composer of songs, inscribed to Robert Wheeler’s mother, Mrs. Wayne B. Wheeler, with a message commending her “singing voice––and heart!” The message is dated April 20^th, 1927. The other photograph, ca. 1920s, depicts a group of women at a Sunday dinner with a Mrs. Lawrence. The back of the photograph carries an inscription stating that the dinner was “quite a reunion.” It may be that Mrs. Lawrence was one of those who operated a boarding house for women students in Oberlin, and Grace Wheeler may have been a boarder.
