• mm81058628 abstract "Correspondence, diaries and diary notes (1918-1922), receipts, subject files, programs, printed matter, and clippings comprising the papers (1902-1940) of William H. Simons. The papers document Simons's career as secretary of the international committee of the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) in Burma, East Africa, and India and as a Baptist missionary teacher in Nigeria. Topics include racial and social conditions in Durban, South Africa; schools organized by the British to teach telegraphy and other railroading skills to Africans to further the British campaign against the Germans in East Africa; and Hindu and Buddhist religious practices. Correspondents include family members, friends, and fellow students and colleagues at Benedict College, Columbia, S.C., Gordon College, Wenham, Mass., and Virginia Union University (Richmond). Correspondence, subject files, financial records, printed matter, and other material comprise the papers of other Garrett, Nicholson, and Simons family members. Many papers relate to the World War II military service of Albert E. Simons, Jr., organizer of a jazz/swing band for the 357th Engineers Regiment during the war; William H. Simons (b. 1924), who served in Europe; and Joseph O. Curtis (not a family member), junior quartermaster officer in Europe. The correspondence of Naomi Mills Garrett reflects her experiences as a teacher in rural South Carolina from the 1910s to the 1930s, in Haiti during World War II, and as a professor of romance languages at West Virginia State College through the 1960s.".
