The E. N. Atkins family lived at 1331 Franklin Ave., in the Bond Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati. E. N. Atkins was Stanley Atkins’s father and according to a history of Bond Hill, a “leading member of the community.” Not much is known about Stanley M. Atkins, but according to the notes on the verso of a photograph, he enlisted in the U.S. Army on April 17, 1917 and in July of that year was appointed “Staff Director Field Hospital” under Major Hendley at Camp Sheridan, Alabama. Camp Sheridan was the training center of Ohio’s 37th Infantry “Buckeye” Division which arrived between August and October 1917. According to the photograph, in October that year, Atkins was assigned as “Assistant Supply Officer of the Battalion.” The “Buckeye” Division embarked for France in June 1918. After the war Stanley returned home to 1331 Franklin and according to records at the University of Cincinnati, he enrolled in evening courses. He later married Henrietta Florence See who grew up in Blue Ash, OH. Stanley and his family are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery.
This collection contains correspondence, photographs, military ephemera and a small bible. Most of the correspondence is written by Stanley M. Atkins while in the Army in the States, or while in Europe. Also included is correspondence from friends of the Atkins family to Stanley’s parents. As well a small portion of the collection relates to Stanley’s wife Henrietta “Nettie” who grew up in Blue Ash, OH.
