Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Alonzo Laker and Alice Maude Osmond Cook papers consist of family histories, a family- history scrapbook, original poetry and written essays, mostly from Alice Maude (1884-1971), and a little from Alonzo Laker (1882-1963). Although both Alonzo and Maude (her preferred name) were published authors, this collection is mostly concerned with their family and church history, and not the professional aspects of their lives. There is poetry published by Maude in the collection, and one book.
