Beatrice Anderson's Scrapbooks

Beatrice Anderson (photo) lived in the John "Jake" Strang house when the Historic District was founded in 1979. She was instrumental in providing many of the facts about the community and houses.

We have a short biographical sketch available, which highlights Beatrice's life.

Beatrice kept several scrapbooks which came to the museum on her passing. They are available for viewing in the museum. Her scrapbooks were handwritten and randomly organized. Volunteers have transcribed several of her writings.

We don't know how much of the material is original. We think we should credit some of Beatrice's likely sources:

• Esther Foster's History
• 'The First Hundred Years', Pub. by Millburn Congregational Church
• 'Lake County History', author unknown

We've tried to organize her writings and notes along these lines:

• The Development of Millburn

• Schools at Millburn

• Biographies of Early Millburn Families:
  A thru F, G thru L, M thru S, T thru Z

• Facts about Local Buildings

• About Millburn Cemetery

• Millburn Mutual Insurance Company

• The Underground Railroad
