VERY OLD SCRAPBOOK HEDDING COLLEGE ABINGDON ILLINOIS This is a great piece of Hedding College History. All pages in scrapbook are loose. In very fragile condition. Pages literally falling apart. Most items appear to be from the years around 1917, some before, some after. Contains pictures, invitation, programs, announcements, newspaper clippings, etc. Art on inside of scrapbook by Irene Russell. Hope pictures tell the story. Abingdon, a small community located south of Galesburg in west-central Illinois supported two colleges during the 1890s: Abingdon and Hedding. Hedding College was founded in 1855 as a Methodist seminary and college, with a state charter for offering degrees to women. No trace remains today of Hedding College, which was closed by the Methodist Church during the 1920s, and the buildings razed some years later.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHIPPING = $ shipping SHIPPING combined shipping ALWAYS available Tuesdays and Fridays Shipping days PAYMENTS Paypal, Money Ordersmust be made within 10 days of end of auction REFUNDS refunds are available if item is not as described and ONLY after item has been returnedif you have any problems with item please contact us CONTACT Always Include item number in all correspondenceOtherwise, read more
