Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Service Star Legion records (1905-1985) contain materials concerning the Salt Lake County Chapter, the Utah Division, and the National group of the SSL. The collection contains SSL annual rosters, bylaws, civic service records, constitutions, convention materials, correspondence, essays, financial records, handbooks, histories, invitations, meeting minute records, newsletters, newspaper clippings, programs, publication copies, several scrapbooks, and similar materials concerning Memory Grove Park and Memorial House in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Salt Lake County Chapter annual rosters span the years 1930-1975, but the run is incomplete. There is a 1951 handbook which describes the organization and its purpose, as well as convention programs. There are papers concerning Memory Grove Park and Memorial House histories, projects, and programs. Utah Division papers include their Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, constitution, minutes, and other materials relating to the Utah-Wyoming Division of the early 1930s. The National portions of the SSL papers contain their constitution, convention programs and minutes, copies of The Service Star magazine, histories, and magazine and newspaper articles and clippings. There is also an autobiography of Cora Baker, a national character member, titled "Granny's Story," and the national president endorsements of Clara Miller, a member of the Salt Lake County Chapter.
