Scope and Contents
Contains materials related to Curtis Ashley Bynum (1882-1964), his wife Florence Boyd Bynum (1878-1967), and their daughter Katherine Bynum Shepard (d. 2008). Much of the collection are materials originating from Curtis Bynum, including essays written by him, most probably either for presentation at places like the Pen and Plate Club, or for publication in newspapers. There is also business correspondence from the Asheville Creamery, which Bynum owned. The Florence Bynum materials include newspaper clippings and documents from her involvement with the Parents / Teachers Association, and other organizations. The Katherine Bynum Shepard materials include clippings, her school books, and university thesis. Photographs of the Bynum family are included, along with photographs of "Stonehaven", their home in Asheville. Finally, there are a number of published books and pamphlets, including several about Episcopalian churches around Asheville.
