Treasure: Portrait of Mrs. William C. Jason

Mrs. William C. Jason, ca. 1911(?).
Written by: Emily Cottle

As we highlighted in a post back in March, the Archives received a large transfer from the Office of Alumni Relations that included, among other things, large quantities of photos.

During processing, we discovered the portrait, included here, of Mrs. William C. Jason, the wife of the second president and the library’s namesake, Dr. William C. Jason. It appears to have come from the photograph collection of Charles C. Showell and be from around 1911.

We have very little information about Mrs. Jason in our collection, but this beautiful portrait is certainly a treasure that we wanted to share with our readers.

    I have a scanned copy of a photograph that I sold of Madora E. Bailey who married Rev. William C. Jason Wednesday July 20, 1892.
