Records of the Limaville Philomathic Literary Society and the Lima Mutual Improvement Association
by Limaville Philomathic Literary Society (1854 – 1861)
1 folder (0.1 linear feet)
This bound journal contains the records of two different Ohio organizations at different time periods: the Limaville Philomathic Literary Society from November 9, 1854 to March 29, 1855 and the Lima Mutual Improvement Association from October 15, 1860 to April 8, 1861. The records for both organizations include the constitutions, by-laws, preambles, and minutes. The Limaville Philomathic Society's stated purpose was "the mutual improvement of its members in Literacy and Scientific exercises such as original compositions, declamations, the reading of selected pieces, and debates or polemics." The youth-oriented organizations met weekly at a local schoolhouse and was divided into three classes: Composing, Declaiming, and Polemic. The Lima Mutual Improvement Association was similar in purpose to the Limaville Philomathic Literary Society. Topics of discussion in both organizations include slavery, religion, and the United States, which make the records significant for understanding small Midwestern towns prior to the American Civil War.
