Charles J. Hennessy, SJ papers

 Collection
Identifier: GTM-GAMMS30

Collection-level Scope and Content Note

Charles J. Hennessy, born 1877, kept two diaries intermittently from 1896 until 1907. The entries are at random intervals, and of varying length. Altogether they do not provide a very complete picture of that span of years. In addition, there is a notebook of somewhat prosaic clippings, mostly from newspapers, from the early 20th c. with a few as late as the 1930s. Hennessy died in Washington in 1942.
