Scope & content

Included in this collection are correspondence, photographs, and collected papers of Mabel Paul Mills, mostly from the period after she began living at Rockry Hall. The collection does not document her early life or first marriage. Also included in the collection is one folder of correspondence and membership cards related to Paul and Edith Munroe. The postcards in the collection include blank postcards most likely collected by the Mills or Munroe families, and some postcards addressed to other individuals; it is unclear whether these other individuals have any connections to the family or if the postcards were collected as curios. Some of the postcards may relate to the Earle family that owned Rockry Hall from 1914 to 1923.

Several items clearly unrelated to this collection were found in its boxes. Clearly misfiled items have been separated, but it is possible that other items which are not obviously related to the Mills and Munroe families ought not to be part of this collection.
