Description:
Charles Baldwin Sawyer was a close friend of Charles F. Brush, Jr., Charles F. Brush, Sr.’s son. Sawyer, closely attached to Brush's family for many years, wanted to make known the unique contribution of Charles F. Brush, Sr., to American electrical technology. After the latter's death in 1929, Sawyer gave much effort to gathering data, verifying historical events, and collecting documents and artifacts relevant to Brush's career. In this series, are Sawyer’s files related to Charles F. Brush, Sr. Most importantly is the correspondence between Sawyer, Dorothy Brush Walmsley, Margaret Richardson, E. S. Lincoln, and the Case Institute of Technology regarding the writing of a biography of Charles F. Brush, Sr. Other files document Sawyer’s efforts to publicize Brush’s accomplishments through anniversary celebrations, plaque unveilings, and even the naming of a World War II battleship after Brush.
