Lewis Papers ; Series 2: Lewis P. Olds Papers; Series 3: Photographs, Recipes and Sally Latting Schoolwork","John W. Lewis was raised in Randolph County, North Carolina. In 1833, at around the age of 25, Lewis entered the Virginia Conference of Methodist ministers. His 50+ year career as a pastor took him from Virginia to Mississippi and eventually back to his home state of North Carolina. Lewis was a slave-owning member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MEC-S) offshoot that split from the main Methodist Episcopal Church due to differing views on the issue of slavery. He died on May 23, 1885.","Accessioned and minimally processed in January 2010.  Further arranged and described by Jeffrey Flanagan, SCRC Staff, in March-May 2010.","Collection consists of the papers of three Southerners, dating predominantly from the 19th century. John W. Lewis lived in Virginia, Mississippi, and North Carolina and the portion of the collection from this Methodist minister and farmer includes references to religion including sermons, farming, and slavery. Lewis P. Olds was a North Carolina lawyer and politician and the collection includes evidence of his career as well as poetry and short stories he wrote. The remainder of the collection is schoolwork of Sally Latting from 1808 and unattributed photographs and a recipe book.","This series consists of the correspondence and personal papers of John W. Lewis, a North Carolina-born Methodist minister and slave-owning farmer. Subjects of correspondence include religion, family matters, farming, and slavery. Included in Lewis' personal papers are two drafts of his last will and testament, property tax assessments from Mississippi, and an August 1875 ballot for the appointment of delegates to the Constitutional Convention.","This series consists of the correspondence and personal papers of Lewis P. Olds, a North Carolina attorney and politician. Subjects of correspondence primarily deal with Olds' work as an attorney, as Attorney General of North Carolina, and as State Senator of North Carolina. Olds' personal papers are made up primarily of a number of short stories, poems, and epic poems that he authored.","This series consists of schoolwork done by Sally Latting in 1808. Also included in this series are a number of unidentifiable or attributable items from the collection, including photographs and recipe books.","Before reproducing or quoting from any materials, in whole or in part, permission must be obtained from the Special Collections Research Center, and the holder of the copyright, if not Swem Library.","Special Collections Research Center","Lewis, John W., [1808]-1885","Latting, Sally","Olds, Lewis P.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["John W.
