Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Irene (Bender) Schauer Collection contains a number of photographs, photographic postcards, and newspaper clippings. The collection is comprised of three series: Newspaper, Photograph, and Calendar.

The Newspaper Series has forty-six newspaper clippings from the Ashley Tribune “Down Memory Lane,” published during 1973 through 1978. The newspaper clippings contain images of people. There is also a clipping with a photograph and history, published in the Wishek newspaper for the Napoleon Centennial, June 14-17, 1984 and a clipping with a photograph of McIntosh Courthouse staff in Ashley circa 1932-1937. The images on the newspaper clippings include studio photographs of individuals, family, weddings, and sporting teams and snapshots of people, harvest, confirmation, and bands. The date on each image reflects the year in which the photograph was originally taken and not the date it was published in the newspaper.

The Photograph Series contains sixteen photographs which include some images of the Martin Bender, Sr. family, some of which are unidentified. The photographs also include portraits, photographic postcards, snapshots, and photocopies of weddings, families, people, and funerals.

The Calendar Series consists of nine pages from the Ashley Centennial Calendar in 1988. Each month includes an image on the back of it of an old photograph. Included are the calendar title page and the months of January, April, May, July, August, September, October, and November.
