There are addresses, notes, accounts, Christmas lists and book lists in the back of many of the early diaries.

Sayre's day to day activities and usually include letters he has written and received, where he gone, when he naps, and people he meets if they include family and close friends.

When he is visiting his family, he goes into a little more detail, but still sticks to the facts. His train and automobile trips across country are usually interesting. Very rarely does he share his feelings, though he might comment if a letter was wonderful, a meal great, a death hard on a family or how great it is to be back at college or at his old home or with Marjorie after a separation. There are addresses, notes, accounts, Christmas lists and book lists in the back of many of the early diaries.

When Group 1 was accessioned, the seller had removed, and filed separately, letters that were written by well known people, such as Harry F. Byrd, a Virginia Senator and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. These letters were returned to the file in A-Z order, but they are noted in the list of correspondents. Most correspondents' names are noted, but some are either too difficult to read or do not appear on the letter. The content and date of some letters have been noted. Also, some letters have a note by Rev. Samuel H. Sayre along the top margin where he gives an explanation about the letter or letter writer. These notes appear to have been added at a later date rather than at the time of receipt. Possibly, Rev. Sayre went through his professional correspondence and kept items that reflect the variety of his ministry. Even though there are a few family letters, most of the correspondence concerns Rev. Samuel H. Sayre's ministry, his church related activities, his professional activities or other personal concerns not related to his family.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eCorrespondents include John H.

On Page 10, he gives a wonderful description of Marjorie Renison Sayre, his wife. The 1938 diary begins his œManhood period. His early entries are more in depth and personal, even giving detail of things that happened in the past, or people, such as his Mother, but he quickly reverts to just telling of his daily activities with few personal touches. Rev. Sayre mentions listening to the new presiding Bishop, Rt. Rev. Henry St. George Tucker of Virginia, on the radio on New Year's Day, 1938. He writes œRev. Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin of Williamsburg, Virginia on January 10, 1938 and spends the day with him on April 27, 1938.

They have been placed in a separate folder in front of the diary and the date where they were located noted. On March 4, 1945, Rev. Sayre writes that St. Barnabas' Church was consecrated. He mentions on August 14, 1945 that Japan accepted the surrender terms of the Allies and the city went wild. He had a œVision After Victory special service on August 19, 1945. On January 28, 1946, Rev. Sayre writes that his Mother and sister Margaret and husband returned to Hampton where they rented an apartment.

The records have been gathered via multiple accruals from 1956 to 2016. Originally, these collections were divided between A\u0026M 873 and A\u0026M 1701, the latter also being composed of thirteen addenda and A\u0026M 1858.","In an attempt to organize the collections in a more coherent fashion for patron use and to reflect the creator(s) in a more concise manner, the material was reevaluated and reorganized into the three sets of papers with distinct series and subseries: A\u0026M 873: Rush Dew Holt (1905-1955) Papers; A\u0026M 1858: Helen Holt (1913-2015) Papers; and A\u0026M 4218: Rush Dew Holt Family Papers.","Because of the 2016-2017 reorganization, the physical arrangement no longer matches the intellectual arrangement and series order.

Even at a young age, Helen Holt displayed academic potential, being advanced from the second to third grade, and this excellence was further demonstrated by Helen Holt's selection as class president and later valedictorian of her graduating class.","After high school she attended Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, where she received an AA degree in 1932. To further her education, Helen Holt applied to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she was inducted into the Delta Delta Delta sorority. While attending Northwestern University, Helen Holt maintained a high grade point average, and she graduated in 1934 with a BA in Biology and a minor in Anthropology. Soon after receiving her degree, Helen Holt was offered a position at Stephens College Science Division to first help establish a library and then to assist students and teachers with research or as needed. This experience led to Helen Holt's first published work, Function of a Science Divisional Library. In 1936, Helen Holt was encouraged to attend the Marine Biological Laboratory, an institution for research and education, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. During this time (1935-1937) she also completed graduated work in connection with the University of Missouri in Columbia Missouri. After attending the Marine Biological Laboratory where she was able to interact with other students and well-known professors, Helen Holt decided it best to further her education at the graduate level; thus, she applied for a teaching fellowship in Zoology at Northwestern University. She was accepted and began her courses during the 1937 summer term and graduated in 1938. In addition to earning her MS, Helen Holt completed graduate work in conjunction with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1956.","After graduating with her MS degree, Helen Holt was hired for a position at National Park College in Washington, D.C., where she taught several Science courses from 1938-1941. It was during this time that she was introduced to the youngest member of the United States Senate, Rush Dew Holt of West Virginia, by Helen's friend and Rush's sister, Jane (Holt) Chase. They were married a year after they met, and the couple moved to West Virginia in 1941. Two children were born to the couple: Helen Jane Holt (1945) and Rush Dew Holt, Jr. (1948). When Rush Holt, Sr.'s sister died in 1952, the couple adopted her son, David. During this period Helen Holt described herself as a homemaker, but she was later involved with her husband's campaigns and even served as an unpaid assistant in Rush Holt's Charleston office. This initial involvement in government, however, was only the beginning of Helen Holt's own political career.","In 1955 after the death of her husband, Helen Holt was appointed by Governor William C. Marland to fulfill her late husband's term in the West Virginia House of Delegates, and she was later elected as a delegate to the 1956 Republican National Convention. After the legislative session ended in March, 1956, Helen Holt accepted a recently-vacated teaching position at Greenbrier College which would prove to be only temporary. In 1957, after the death of Secretary of State D. Pitt O'Brian, Governor Cecil H. Underwood appointed Helen Holt to fill the position, making Helen Holt the first woman to hold the office in West Virginia history. Wishing to remain secretary of state, Helen Holt ran against Joe F. Burdett in 1958 but lost. Despite the unsuccessful campaign, Helen Holt continued to break the gender barrier, becoming the first woman appointed to serve as Assistant Commissioner of Public Institutions in West Virginia (served from 1959-1960) and later the first woman to serve as a trustee on the Board of the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.","In 1960 Helen Holt received a presidential appointment from Dwight D. Eisenhower to serve as Special Assistant to the Commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration for Nursing Homes Program (1960-1974). During the administration of President Richard M. Nixon, Helen Holt was considered for the position of United States treasurer, but despite numerous letters of recommendation from politicians and prominent individuals, the position was offered to John B. Connelly, Jr. Nevertheless, Helen Holt continued to succeed, and in 1974 the Department of Housing and Urban Development appointed her to serve as assistant to the secretary for programs for the elderly and the handicapped (1974-1983).","In 1983 after twenty-three years of government service, Helen Holt retired, but she remained active in women's organizations (including the Washington Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the Association of University Women, and the National League of Pen Women) and in church groups sponsored by the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. In addition to the numerous positions and honors bestowed upon Helen Holt during her political career, including being chosen as West Virginia Daughter of the Year by the West Virginia Society of Washington, D.C. in 1957 and being elected as president of the same society in 1960 and again serving as president from 1965-1966, she was awarded one of her greatest distinctions in 2013 when she received an honorary doctorate from West Virginia University.","Helen Holt passed away on July 12, 2015.","Chronological List of Events:","August 16, 1913: born","1930: graduated from high school","1930-1932: attended Stephens College, received an AA degree","1932-1934: attended Northwestern University, received a BA degree in Biology and a minor in Anthropology","1934-1936: worked at Stephens College Science Division to first help establish a library and then to assist students and teachers with research or as needed","1935-1937: completed graduate study work in connection with the University of Missouri","1936-1937: attended the Marine Biological Laboratory, an institution for research and education, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts","Summer, 1937-1938: attended Northwestern University, received a MS degree in Zoology","1938-1941: taught Science courses at National Park College","1941 married Senator Rush Dew Holt","1945: birth of Helen Jane Holt.","1948: birth of Rush Dew Holt, Jr.","1955: death of Rush Dew Holt, Sr.","February 17, 1955-December 1, 1956 finished Rush Dew Holt's House of Delegates term, continued to serve in the House of Delegates until 1957","1956: served as a Delegate at Large to the Republican National Convention","1956: completed graduate study work in connection with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill","1956-1957: taught at Greenbrier College for Women","1957: stopped serving as professor at Greenbrier College, appointed to secretary of state of West Virginia (thru January, 1959)","1959-1960: served as Assistant Commissioner of Public Institutions in WV","1960-1974: appointed by Eisenhower to the Federal Housing Administration as special assistant to the commissioner for a program overseeing nursing homes","1974-1983: appointed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to serve as assistant to the secretary for programs for the elderly and the handicapped","1983: retired from government service","2013: received an Honorary Degree from WVU","July 12, 2015: death","Sources:","A\u0026M 1858, Helen Louise (Froelich) Holt (1913-2015) Papers, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries.","Daly-Lipe, Patricia.

During this period Helen Holt described herself as a homemaker, but she was later involved with her husband's campaigns and even served as an unpaid assistant in Rush Holt's Charleston office. This initial involvement in government, however, was only the beginning of Helen Holt's own political career.","In 1955 after the death of her husband, Helen Holt was appointed by Governor William C. Marland to fulfill her late husband's term in the West Virginia House of Delegates, and she was later elected as a delegate to the 1956 Republican National Convention. After the legislative session ended in March, 1956, Helen Holt accepted a recently-vacated teaching position at Greenbrier College which would prove to be only temporary. In 1957, after the death of Secretary of State D. Pitt O'Brian, Governor Cecil H. Underwood appointed Helen Holt to fill the position, making Helen Holt the first woman to hold the office in West Virginia history. Wishing to remain secretary of state, Helen Holt ran against Joe F. Burdett in 1958 but lost. Despite the unsuccessful campaign, Helen Holt continued to break the gender barrier, becoming the first woman appointed to serve as Assistant Commissioner of Public Institutions in West Virginia (served from 1959-1960) and later the first woman to serve as a trustee on the Board of the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.","In 1960 Helen Holt received a presidential appointment from Dwight D. Eisenhower to serve as Special Assistant to the Commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration for Nursing Homes Program (1960-1974). During the administration of President Richard M. Nixon, Helen Holt was considered for the position of United States treasurer, but despite numerous letters of recommendation from politicians and prominent individuals, the position was offered to John B. Connelly, Jr. Nevertheless, Helen Holt continued to succeed, and in 1974 the Department of Housing and Urban Development appointed her to serve as assistant to the secretary for programs for the elderly and the handicapped (1974-1983).","In 1983 after twenty-three years of government service, Helen Holt retired, but she remained active in women's organizations (including the Washington Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the Association of University Women, and the National League of Pen Women) and in church groups sponsored by the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. In addition to the numerous positions and honors bestowed upon Helen Holt during her political career, including being chosen as West Virginia Daughter of the Year by the West Virginia Society of Washington, D.C. in 1957 and being elected as president of the same society in 1960 and again serving as president from 1965-1966, she was awarded one of her greatest distinctions in 2013 when she received an honorary doctorate from West Virginia University.","Helen Holt passed away on July 12, 2015.","Chronological List of Events:","August 16, 1913: born","1930: graduated from high school","1930-1932: attended Stephens College, received an AA degree","1932-1934: attended Northwestern University, received a BA degree in Biology and a minor in Anthropology","1934-1936: worked at Stephens College Science Division to first help establish a library and then to assist students and teachers with research or as needed","1935-1937: completed graduate study work in connection with the University of Missouri","1936-1937: attended the Marine Biological Laboratory, an institution for research and education, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts","Summer, 1937-1938: attended Northwestern University, received a MS degree in Zoology","1938-1941: taught Science courses at National Park College","1941 married Senator Rush Dew Holt","1945: birth of Helen Jane Holt.","1948: birth of Rush Dew Holt, Jr.","1955: death of Rush Dew Holt, Sr.","February 17, 1955-December 1, 1956 finished Rush Dew Holt's House of Delegates term, continued to serve in the House of Delegates until 1957","1956: served as a Delegate at Large to the Republican National Convention","1956: completed graduate study work in connection with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill","1956-1957: taught at Greenbrier College for Women","1957: stopped serving as professor at Greenbrier College, appointed to secretary of state of West Virginia (thru January, 1959)","1959-1960: served as Assistant Commissioner of Public Institutions in WV","1960-1974: appointed by Eisenhower to the Federal Housing Administration as special assistant to the commissioner for a program overseeing nursing homes","1974-1983: appointed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to serve as assistant to the secretary for programs for the elderly and the handicapped","1983: retired from government service","2013: received an Honorary Degree from WVU","July 12, 2015: death","Sources:","A\u0026M 1858, Helen Louise (Froelich) Holt (1913-2015) Papers, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries.","Daly-Lipe, Patricia.

The records have been gathered via multiple accruals from 1956 to 2016.

Even at a young age, Helen Holt displayed academic potential, being advanced from the second to third grade, and this excellence was further demonstrated by Helen Holt's selection as class president and later valedictorian of her graduating class.","After high school she attended Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, where she received an AA degree in 1932. To further her education, Helen Holt applied to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she was inducted into the Delta Delta Delta sorority. While attending Northwestern University, Helen Holt maintained a high grade point average, and she graduated in 1934 with a BA in Biology and a minor in Anthropology. Soon after receiving her degree, Helen Holt was offered a position at Stephens College Science Division to first help establish a library and then to assist students and teachers with research or as needed. This experience led to Helen Holt's first published work, Function of a Science Divisional Library. In 1936, Helen Holt was encouraged to attend the Marine Biological Laboratory, an institution for research and education, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. During this time (1935-1937) she also completed graduated work in connection with the University of Missouri in Columbia Missouri. After attending the Marine Biological Laboratory where she was able to interact with other students and well-known professors, Helen Holt decided it best to further her education at the graduate level; thus, she applied for a teaching fellowship in Zoology at Northwestern University. She was accepted and began her courses during the 1937 summer term and graduated in 1938. In addition to earning her MS, Helen Holt completed graduate work in conjunction with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1956.","After graduating with her MS degree, Helen Holt was hired for a position at National Park College in Washington, D.C., where she taught several Science courses from 1938-1941. It was during this time that she was introduced to the youngest member of the United States Senate, Rush Dew Holt of West Virginia, by Helen's friend and Rush's sister, Jane (Holt) Chase. They were married a year after they met, and the couple moved to West Virginia in 1941. Two children were born to the couple: Helen Jane Holt (1945) and Rush Dew Holt, Jr. (1948). When Rush Holt, Sr.'s sister died in 1952, the couple adopted her son, David. During this period Helen Holt described herself as a homemaker, but she was later involved with her husband's campaigns and even served as an unpaid assistant in Rush Holt's Charleston office. This initial involvement in government, however, was only the beginning of Helen Holt's own political career.","In 1955 after the death of her husband, Helen Holt was appointed by Governor William C. Marland to fulfill her late husband's term in the West Virginia House of Delegates, and she was later elected as a delegate to the 1956 Republican National Convention. After the legislative session ended in March, 1956, Helen Holt accepted a recently-vacated teaching position at Greenbrier College which would prove to be only temporary. In 1957, after the death of Secretary of State D. Pitt O'Brian, Governor Cecil H. Underwood appointed Helen Holt to fill the position, making Helen Holt the first woman to hold the office in West Virginia history. Wishing to remain secretary of state, Helen Holt ran against Joe F. Burdett in 1958 but lost. Despite the unsuccessful campaign, Helen Holt continued to break the gender barrier, becoming the first woman appointed to serve as Assistant Commissioner of Public Institutions in West Virginia (served from 1959-1960) and later the first woman to serve as a trustee on the Board of the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.","In 1960 Helen Holt received a presidential appointment from Dwight D. Eisenhower to serve as Special Assistant to the Commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration for Nursing Homes Program (1960-1974). During the administration of President Richard M. Nixon, Helen Holt was considered for the position of United States treasurer, but despite numerous letters of recommendation from politicians and prominent individuals, the position was offered to John B. Connelly, Jr. Nevertheless, Helen Holt continued to succeed, and in 1974 the Department of Housing and Urban Development appointed her to serve as assistant to the secretary for programs for the elderly and the handicapped (1974-1983).","In 1983 after twenty-three years of government service, Helen Holt retired, but she remained active in women's organizations (including the Washington Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the Association of University Women, and the National League of Pen Women) and in church groups sponsored by the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. In addition to the numerous positions and honors bestowed upon Helen Holt during her political career, including being chosen as West Virginia Daughter of the Year by the West Virginia Society of Washington, D.C. in 1957 and being elected as president of the same society in 1960 and again serving as president from 1965-1966, she was awarded one of her greatest distinctions in 2013 when she received an honorary doctorate from West Virginia University.","Helen Holt passed away on July 12, 2015.","Chronological List of Events:","August 16, 1913: born","1930: graduated from high school","1930-1932: attended Stephens College, received an AA degree","1932-1934: attended Northwestern University, received a BA degree in Biology and a minor in Anthropology","1934-1936: worked at Stephens College Science Division to first help establish a library and then to assist students and teachers with research or as needed","1935-1937: completed graduate study work in connection with the University of Missouri","1936-1937: attended the Marine Biological Laboratory, an institution for research and education, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts","Summer, 1937-1938: attended Northwestern University, received a MS degree in Zoology","1938-1941: taught Science courses at National Park College","1941 married Senator Rush Dew Holt","1945: birth of Helen Jane Holt.","1948: birth of Rush Dew Holt, Jr.","1955: death of Rush Dew Holt, Sr.","February 17, 1955-December 1, 1956 finished Rush Dew Holt's House of Delegates term, continued to serve in the House of Delegates until 1957","1956: served as a Delegate at Large to the Republican National Convention","1956: completed graduate study work in connection with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill","1956-1957: taught at Greenbrier College for Women","1957: stopped serving as professor at Greenbrier College, appointed to secretary of state of West Virginia (thru January, 1959)","1959-1960: served as Assistant Commissioner of Public Institutions in WV","1960-1974: appointed by Eisenhower to the Federal Housing Administration as special assistant to the commissioner for a program overseeing nursing homes","1974-1983: appointed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to serve as assistant to the secretary for programs for the elderly and the handicapped","1983: retired from government service","2013: received an Honorary Degree from WVU","July 12, 2015: death","Sources:","A\u0026M 1858, Helen Louise (Froelich) Holt (1913-2015) Papers, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries.","Daly-Lipe, Patricia.

Underwood appointed Helen Holt to fill the position, making Helen Holt the first woman to hold the office in West Virginia history. Wishing to remain secretary of state, Helen Holt ran against Joe F. Burdett in 1958 but lost. Despite the unsuccessful campaign, Helen Holt continued to break the gender barrier, becoming the first woman appointed to serve as Assistant Commissioner of Public Institutions in West Virginia (served from 1959-1960) and later the first woman to serve as a trustee on the Board of the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.","In 1960 Helen Holt received a presidential appointment from Dwight D. Eisenhower to serve as Special Assistant to the Commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration for Nursing Homes Program (1960-1974). During the administration of President Richard M. Nixon, Helen Holt was considered for the position of United States treasurer, but despite numerous letters of recommendation from politicians and prominent individuals, the position was offered to John B. Connelly, Jr. Nevertheless, Helen Holt continued to succeed, and in 1974 the Department of Housing and Urban Development appointed her to serve as assistant to the secretary for programs for the elderly and the handicapped (1974-1983).","In 1983 after twenty-three years of government service, Helen Holt retired, but she remained active in women's organizations (including the Washington Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the Association of University Women, and the National League of Pen Women) and in church groups sponsored by the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. In addition to the numerous positions and honors bestowed upon Helen Holt during her political career, including being chosen as West Virginia Daughter of the Year by the West Virginia Society of Washington, D.C. in 1957 and being elected as president of the same society in 1960 and again serving as president from 1965-1966, she was awarded one of her greatest distinctions in 2013 when she received an honorary doctorate from West Virginia University.","Helen Holt passed away on July 12, 2015.","Chronological List of Events:","August 16, 1913: born","1930: graduated from high school","1930-1932: attended Stephens College, received an AA degree","1932-1934: attended Northwestern University, received a BA degree in Biology and a minor in Anthropology","1934-1936: worked at Stephens College Science Division to first help establish a library and then to assist students and teachers with research or as needed","1935-1937: completed graduate study work in connection with the University of Missouri","1936-1937: attended the Marine Biological Laboratory, an institution for research and education, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts","Summer, 1937-1938: attended Northwestern University, received a MS degree in Zoology","1938-1941: taught Science courses at National Park College","1941 married Senator Rush Dew Holt","1945: birth of Helen Jane Holt.","1948: birth of Rush Dew Holt, Jr.","1955: death of Rush Dew Holt, Sr.","February 17, 1955-December 1, 1956 finished Rush Dew Holt's House of Delegates term, continued to serve in the House of Delegates until 1957","1956: served as a Delegate at Large to the Republican National Convention","1956: completed graduate study work in connection with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill","1956-1957: taught at Greenbrier College for Women","1957: stopped serving as professor at Greenbrier College, appointed to secretary of state of West Virginia (thru January, 1959)","1959-1960: served as Assistant Commissioner of Public Institutions in WV","1960-1974: appointed by Eisenhower to the Federal Housing Administration as special assistant to the commissioner for a program overseeing nursing homes","1974-1983: appointed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to serve as assistant to the secretary for programs for the elderly and the handicapped","1983: retired from government service","2013: received an Honorary Degree from WVU","July 12, 2015: death","Sources:","A\u0026M 1858, Helen Louise (Froelich) Holt (1913-2015) Papers, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries.","Daly-Lipe, Patricia.
