News Clippings, 1842-1962 and undated

Summary: Newspaper clippings documenting the Roebling family, its business enterprises, and miscellaneous subjects. Clippings were collected by various people and most likely ultimately preserved by John A. Roebling II and by his wife, Helen Price Roebling. Many of the clippings were originally exchanged by Washington and Emily Roebling and their son, or collected by Ferdinand W. Roebling's branch of the family.

Topics include the lives of John A., Washington A., Emily Warren, Charles G., and Karl Roebling; the Brooklyn Bridge, the Civil War, John A. Roebling Sons Company (JARSCO), the Titanic, other bridges built by the Roeblings, and the early history of the family in Germany and in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania. Some of the latter are in German. Later clippings document the activities of the third generation of Roeblings.

Of particular interest are clippings documenting Emily Roebling's active schedule of speech-making and entertaining. Also of interest are clippings describing labor umest at JARSCO.

Miscellaneous clippings reflect subjects of interest to their collectors, such as the Spanish-American War, firearms legislation, and the transportation industry.
