Content Description
Viola "Ola" Goodwin was an active leading member in the Women's Christian Temperance movement in Richmond, Virginia and Durham, North Carolina. This collection consists of personal papers, financial records, newspapers, and photographs. Goodwin took notes on sermons given at her local congregation and Sunday school, and collected a variety of booklets and flyers extolling the benefits of temperance. Her correspondence is primarily largely between family members and church acquaintances. Multiple letters are from her nephew Warren, who served as a solider in the United States Army around 1918, and a friend named Lillian McDuffie, who was a missionary in Sierra Leone.
