Return to the Table of Contents Scope and ContentsThe Stubbs Family Papers are a combination of materials from two separate donors. The first donation mainly consists of one linear foot of photographs, the majority of which are not identified. The few photographs that do include identifying information span from 1916-1964 and include yearly Christmas cards, student photographs from Baker Jr. High, 50th anniversary photograph of Blanco High School teachers (1934), and photographs from Sabinal High School where Barbara Stubbs was employed as a teacher. Along with the photographs there are few letters, newspaper clippings, religious writings with Mrs. O. A. Stubbs' name on them and assorted printed materials that highlight the relationship between some of the family members. The second part of the collection came from the estate of Allen Hamilton (brother of Thelma Hamilton Stubbs). The majority of this donation consists of letters written by O. Aubrey Stubbs to Thelma Hamilton Stubbs during World War II while he was stationed at various military bases both in the United States and overseas. The letters are dated from 1937 to 1945, during which time the couple was married. Additional correspondence includes letters to Thelma from various family members. Also present are several items of ephemera including a pass issued to Thelma by the military in 1945 to visit her husband at Camp Crowder, Missouri, a Certificate of Title to a motor vehicle purchased by Thelma in 1940 and a note from Dr. F. C. Gregg dated 10/23/1930 certifying that he vaccinated Thelma against small pox. There is also a will written by Otis Aubrey Stubbs on August 24, 1959 leaving "all I possess" to his wife, Thelma.
