Guide to the Archival Collections.pdf - Missouri History Museum

Bonnie's records of her tenure as president and vice-president of the Women's Division of the
Academy of Science, 1959-1961. The collection also includes business records of L.B. Tebbetts
and Sons Carriage Company, 1901-1911. It is, however, unknown at this time what the
connection between the Rice and Tebbetts families might be, or how these records came to be
part of this collection. A group of photographs from this collection was transferred to
Photographs and Prints Department.
Addendums I and II to the collection cover five generations of the Rice family, beginning
with Jonathan Rice's parents, Seligmann and Jetta Rice of Bamberg, Germany, and considerably
expand the parent collection of Charles M. and May Goldman Rice Family Papers. Each
generation contributes a significant amount of personal and family correspondence.
Correspondence of note includes the writings of Jonathan and Aurelia Stix Rice (husband to
wife), 1874-1902; Harry Rice to his parents, Jonathan and Aurelia, during his college years,
1892-1894; Erna Rice Eisendrath to her parents, Charles and May Rice, and siblings, Jay and
Jonathan, during her college years, circa 1926-1930, and married life in Chicago, circa 1930-
1950. Papers include passports of Jonathan Rice and family to Germany (1886-1900); writings
and translations of Aurelia Stix Rice; business records of Charles M. Rice regarding his Lodge,
Onondaga Cave, and Buckeye Plantation; memorial broadsides, articles, and volumes for various
family members; certificates, newsclippings, and ephemeral items (dance cards, invitation,
keepsakes). Photographs of family members and their homes have been transferred to the
Pictorial Department. A St. Louis Country Day newspaper (1926) has been transferred to the
Library.
