Pryor, Sam (Jr.) Correspondence - Danaher, John A., 1938-1941

This collection primarily covers materials from the life of Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., both his time immediately after WWI and his life after. These papers reflect his engagement with local and state government, through his involvement with the town and his relationships with various Connecticut officials, including correspondence with Governors, Senators, and state commissioners. There are letters sent home to his father and mother from his trip around the world in 1921, and a small amount of information about his later life in Maui and the church he helped to restore.

There is a small amount of material relating to Samuel F. Pryor, Sr. Mostly awards and dinners, although there are also two memorial documents. There is very little information in this collection on Samuel F. Pryor III, although he is present in the photographs on their Christmas Cards.

There are also publications collected by the Pryor family, entirely related to the period around WWI. There may be special interest in the 1917 copy of "The Nations at War A Current History" by Willis John Abbot.
