| Summary: |
Married on April 30th of 1907, Anna Lloyd and Nathan Hayward would establish themselves in the greater-Philadelphia region as notable figures in business, science, and humanitarian efforts. Nathan’s work for the fledgling Bell Telephone Company and his influential Presidency at the Franklin Institute perhaps remain to be seen as his largest accomplishments. This collection of papers also preserves Anna Lloyd’s notable written contributions to a variety of public associations throughout the Philadelphia area – the Horticultural Society and the Franklin Institute to name but a few.
In many respects, the history of these two individuals stands to represent the continuation of two prominent family lines rooted in America since the colonial era. The collection is naturally less concerned with historically important bloodlines as it is in establishing the couple’s lives during the first half of the 20th century. To maintain a focus upon these two figures and the period in which they lived, the collection has been divided into two larger series devoted to both Anna Lloyd and Nathan Hayward respectively. Family papers have been drawn into two additional series for easier genealogical analysis. |
