Abstract
This collection is composed of the Carder family papers created primarily during WWII. The collection is principally composed of letters sent between various members of the Carder family, chiefly to and from Ancel, during his enlistment as a Marine in WWII. Another bulk portion of the collection is composed of greeting cards mailed for various occasions to Orton and Chloie, remembrance cards that were collected by Orton of his congregation, and religious materials related to marriages and baptisms conducted by Orton as well as his participation in WV Methodist organizational activities for the Fourth Street Church in Huntington. Also included are materials related to Chloie’s membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution. A small amount of materials relate to letters sent to and from various members of the Proffitt family, also during WWII. The connection between the Proffitt family and Carder family is a result of Ancel’s sibling Anna marrying into the Proffitt family.
