Abstract
Afro-American family originating from tidewater Virginia.
Correspondence, financial papers, genealogy, clippings, printed material, and photographs, all relating to the Blunt family. Topics in the correspondence include: family relations; health; courtship; financial matters; and other domestic issues, particularly the strains of maintaining the family when its members migrated to other parts of the United States. Some letters detail the workings of an Afro-American women's voluntary association, or "friendly society," the House of Ruth Lodge. There are also a few references to school integration. Financial papers include insurance records, credit books, public housing information, and receipts. Genealogical materials concern the death of Guy Blunt, Norma(n) Blunt's husband. Collection also includes greeting cards, report cards, and numerous photographs of family members.
