註釋Contains one scrapbook created by Col. John Chadwick Whiton between approximately 1882 and 1905. After his death in 1905 it was completed by his daughter Marion Chadwick Whiton, who last added to the scrapbook in approximately 1909. The materials in the scrapbook are mostly newspaper clippings, although there are also newsletter clippings, memorial pamphlets handed out at funerals, poems, and pages taken from books. The contents of these materials focus mostly on the military and prison system in Massachusetts. Many of the clippings are reprints of Edward H. Rogers' book entitled "Reminiscences of Military Service in the Forty-Third Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry, During the Great Civil War, 1862-63" which discusses the history of Company H as seen through the eyes of the author. Other items are articles written about veterans after the Civil War, including events held by the Loyal Legion, regiment reunions, battle anniversary observances, tributes to President Abraham Lincoln, and veteran deaths. Clippings discussing the prison system center on such subjects as professional conferences, the daily lives of prison inmates at the Suffolk House of Correction and Deer Island reformatory institution, Col. Whiton's opinion on incarceration laws, prisoner riots, prison overcrowding, and prisoner intake procedures. Other subjects discussed in the scrapbook include the lives and deaths of John's family and friends, religion, poetry, Presidents Taft and Roosevelt, and McKinley, music, and John's death in 1905.
