Biographical and Non-Political, 1881-1962 and undated
This series covers the non-political aspects of Millard E. Tydings' life and gives some insight into the personal lives of other members of his family. The documents in this series include papers concerning the O'Neill estate (in Tydings' mother's family) dating from 1881 to 1928. Personal correspondence, post cards, a yearbook, speeches and writings of his wife, Eleanor Davies Cheesborough Tydings, and memorials and eulogies on the occasion of the Senator's death are also located here.
The bulk of the series, however, is devoted to Tydings' business dealings and his law practice, as detailed in contracts and legal files. Arrangement is alphabetical by topic and/or document type.
