Lora Stout McQueen (1893-1980) was the daughter of Corrington Stout and Effie Lamb Stout. She and her husband, Delbert McQueen, grew up in the small community of Waverly, WA. She was a first cousin to aviator Clyde Pangborn (Effie Lamb Stout was Opal Lamb Pangborn's sister).
This collection consists of papers and photographs collected and created by Lora Stout McQueen. Most of the material relates to her cousin, aviator Clyde Pangborn, and to the Pangborn and Lamb families. It includes newspaper clippings, photographs, telegrams, a small amount of correspondence, miscellaneous manuscripts written by Lora McQueen, and genealogical information.
The papers were found at Lora McQueen's home in Walla Walla by Otis Clarke, the executor of her estate, after her death in 1980. Clarke's friend, Emil Leitz, later obtained the papers, and added descriptions, interpretation, and genealogical documentation to the collection.
This collection is arranged in a single series. It was contained in two binders, and the original order has been retained.
This collection is open and available for research use.
