Advertising campaign for Lamar Hotel (1 item)
Scope and Contents
The collection indicates little about Miss Hill's family. She likely had relatives in Tennessee as implied by a 1913 postcard from Aunt Mar postmarked Memphis, TN; a 1907 graduation invitation to Ward Seminary in Nashville, TN, listing Mary Demoville Hill of Tennessee in its Senior Class; a 1907 obituary of V. M. Fulton, who married Miss Lulu Hill at Nashville, TN on January 5, 1893; and an 1892 handwritten newspaper from Willard, Tennessee, called "The Willard News." The above items are in the colletion along with materials predominately relating to Miss Hill's attending Houston High School and Rice Institute, including tests and mementos. Also contained in Box 1 are some unidentified photographs and some pencil sketches.
Box 2 contains correspondence and advertising materials relating to Miss Hill's business as well as several newspaper clippings about Martha Frances Hill. Box 3 contains feature pages from the 'Houston Post-Dispatch' of Martha Frances Hill's "Mrs. Houston's Model Kitchen," and various issues of 'The Thresher', the Rice student newspaper. The collection consists predominately of handwritten and printed originals.
