Archives West Finding Aid

The collection is arranged first by initial donation, and then by a later accession. The initial donation consists of correspondence, books by Quayle, letters and documents regarding Quayle's literary works and sermons, and photographs.

Correspondence is arranged chronologically (1891-1922).

Two books by Quayle are included, God's Calendar (1907) and In God's Out-of Doors (1902).

There is also a print titled "Young Aspens" by C.A. Seward.

Photographs in this collection are stored separately under call number PH127. There are two photographs, a snapshot of an unidentified elderly couple in a garden, and a gathering of Methodist bishops at Bethany Methodist Hospital, 1920.

Accession Up320: contains Baker University documents including the University Quarterly (a course catalogue) 1906-1907, clippings regarding the university, correspondence between the University and Quayle's daughter, Allie Quayle; and also a personal ledger of William Quayle's that contains genealogical information, recipes, and a detailed listing of meals eaten between 1920 and 1923.

There are also two manuscripts that may have been written by Quayle: one is titled "Con Amor," which reads as a love letter to a woman, and one is titled, "The Story of Margaret," which reads as a love letter to a daughter who is battling a debilitating disease.

There is also correspondence between Quayle family members (1922), and correspondence addressed to Bishop Quayle. This accession also contains a poem that has someone marked, "possibly a Woodsworth poem."
