New Jean Davis Collection

In late 2018, a very significant collection was donated to the Center by Jean Davis. Some of the items this collection includes are photos of Samuel I. Abbey and his wife enclosed in a photobook, an 1898 Directory of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a Dime Tabernacle dedication program, a notice from Ellen White’s funeral, and many other items. A most unique part of the collection is the letters written by the White boys, Henry, Edson, and Willie, to Samuel Abbey. Mrs. Davis spent many years in original research on Adventism as well as many of the early pioneers in Battle Creek, Michigan.
