"Salute to Delph Carpenter", 1943

This subseries contains the personal items of Delph Carpenter's life, from his grade school report cards (called pupil's monthly reports) to his marriage certificate to the "Salute" given by Ralph Carr at the 1943 National Reclamation Association conference. In between, it contains materials from his time at Greeley High School and the University of Denver as well as his writings, including articles, poems, and short stories. The importance of his family to him is revealed in "Honey Boy" and "In re matter of the union of hearts 'Michaela and Delpho.'" There are professionally related materials as well, such as address books, appointment books, and business cards. Materials are filed alphabetically by folder title, with categories created for financial and real estate documents. These two categories give some, but not complete, information about Carpenter's financial situation and his property holdings. The real estate category largely relates to his Crow Creek Ranch and the related case Nelson vs. Carpenter et al. Note that Crow Creek Reservoir No. 3 is variously called Drury Reservoir No. 2 and Coal Creek Reservoir. Carpenter's tax documents are filed with the family papers (Series 5) as he shared some property with other family members. Also included in this subseries are speeches, programs from speaking engagements, two medical assessments, a phrenological chart, notebooks, certificates, various passes, and memorials written after his death. Loose items found in bound volumes were separated and usually placed in a folder behind the volume.
