Dorothy Selden certificate for instruction at English Grammar Schools, 1815
Scope and Contents
The wider Carleton family served society in many capacities: educational, medical, military, and religious. Found here are letters, newspaper clippings, and certificates (photocopies) relating to the commission of Alford and Mary C. Carleton as representatives of the ABCFM to the Near East in 1929, as well as those of Alford’s ministerial ordination (1930) and his recognition as Director of Aleppo College (1938). Documentation on the Carleton family ancestors includes a certificate from the American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb to Thomas J. Chamberlain (1850), First Aid certificates of Anne and Martha Wilson (1917), and the military discharge and commissioning as Superintendent of Bible Society of Maine for Gowen Wilson (1864 and 1894, respectively).
