Mary Ann Scurlock Collection, 1897-2015

The Mary Ann Scurlock Collection contains documents, photographs and ephemera belonging to late Dover resident Mary Ann Scurlock.  The collection is arranged in 1 box, with some loaned items available as digital scans only.  The collection was donated to the Archives in 2020.

Mary Ann (Bruton) Scurlock (1927-2020) was the daughter of Harvey and Lora Seay (Brandon) Bruton.  She founded Mary Ann’s Flower Shop in Dover and was a member of the Ft. Donelson Memorial United Methodist Church.  She was the widow of James T. Scurlock.
 
The collection includes several 1930s issues of the Stewart County Times newspaper, various family and Dover photographs, souvenir scarves, the 1963 Dover Grade School yearbook, and an interesting compilation of Civil War research material.  A 48-star U. S. Flag is also in the collection (proudly hanging on the wall at the Archives).

Digital-only items include Bruton family research and photos, letters from William Henry Oliver, and funeral cards of Nancy Bufford Webb (1897-1915).

A list of the contents of this collection can be found on the Finding Aids page.
