Summary: In 1886, at the first session of Rawlinsville Camp Meeting, the founders could not have imagined that they were initiating what has become a one hundred year old institution in Southern Lancaster County. Rawlinsville Camp Meeting is a cohesive force among the Methodist churches of the area, and has influenced the lives of literally thousands of persons across five generations...Rawlinsville Camp Meeteing is owned by the fourteen United Methodist Churches in Southern Lancaster County, and all income is used in support of the program and physical facilities...In recognition of the centennial anniversary, the Rawlinsville Camp Meeting Association commissioned a commemorative booklet and appointed a committee to produce it. The history of the 'camp' in the 50th anniversary song book was so well done and so complete that it has been reproduced here. It is followed by an expanded view of the camp background plus, of course, history and information pertaining to the second fifty years." [forward]

Title: Archive of Alice P. Fordney

Description: This collection contains ephemera related to Alice Potter Fordney, antiques dealer and rugmaker. Items in the collection include business correspondence with Armstrong, F. Schumacher & Co., and the Montclair art museum; personal correspondence with friends and family; hooked rug patterns; and antiques sale flyers from the early 20th century. Also included in the collection are newspaper clippings, including the obituary of Fordney's sister Ellen Franklin; reference material for rug making and interior design (informational sheets, books and patterns); several items related to the Yeates School, which Fordney's brother William Bush Fordney attended; several photographs of unidentified persons; and a statement related to the will of William J. Fordney, her uncle.

Admin/Biographical History: Alice Potter Fordney was born June 21, 1887 in Lancaster, the daughter of Ida Cox and Thomas Potter Fordney. A prominent antique dealer from the late 1920s to her retirement in 1965, Fordney also made and sold hooked rugs.; Fordney's family features prominently in Lancaster County history. Her maternal great-grandfather was John Michael, who owned the historic Grape Hotel from 1805-1839. Fordney's paternal great-grandfather William Jenkins built Wheatland in 1828 and later sold the property to President James Buchanan. Colonel William Bush Fordney, her paternal grandfather, was a prominent lawyer in Lancaster. He served as district attorney from 1839-1845 and negotiated for the loan that enabled Lancaster city to build the "water works" in the 1830s. Sarah Cox, her maternal grandmother, was a known philanthropist and for years helped to manage the Home for Friendless Children in Lancaster. Her sister, Ellen Fordney Franklin, was a "pioneer" in the industry of women's knit suits, opening her first shop in 1929 in Philadelphia.; Fordney never married. She kept in contact with her nieces and nephews, as evidenced by letters in the collection. According to notes provided by Wendell Zercher, Sarah Ellmaker McIlvaine Muench, her niece and the donor of the collection, recalled her as "warm and artistic," and "a character." She died April 17, 1973, at the age of 85.; Works Cited:; "Mrs. Franklin, pioneer of women's knit suits, dies."
