Sarah King Collection

SCOPE & CONTENT

            The Sarah King Collection contains materials pertaining to both the Collier and King families.  Mrs. King, a distant relative of the Colliers, received the Colliers’ late nineteenth and early twentieth century photographs, letters, financial documents, and business records as they were passed down through the generations of her family.  The second portion of the collection consists of primary sources that document Mrs. King’s activities in the Daughters of the American Revolution during the 1970s and 1980s in relation to the Rutherford County Sesquicentennial Celebration of 1976, the Sam Davis Home in Smyrna, and the Treaty of Paris Celebration of 1983.
