Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
A pair of scrapbooks, family photographs, genealogy materials, and a bomber jacket makes up the majority of this small collection. The scrapbooks have photographs, newspaper clippings, telegrams, and letters about Ross Fountain and other Nacogdoches men serving in World War 2. Researchers might find the bombing mission notes in Folder 2 interesting, as they list the date of the mission, the location targeted, the number of bombs, and their yield. Researchers may also like the rare class portraits from the Libby School (circa 1915) in Nacogdoches County.
The bulk of the collection is family photographs. Names marked with a (*) are in the collection. The connection between Cicero Fountain and Joseph G. Fountain remains unclear, but they likely were related.
