scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: Polly Thayer's family files, which include immediate and extended family, are extensive.  Several individuals, such as Thayer's parents, Ezra Ripley Thayer and Ethel Randolph Thayer (née Clark), and her husband Donald Carter Starr, have multiple folders.  Since there are files on members from the maternal and paternal sides of Thayer's family tree, there are materials on the Clark, Ripley and Vinton families, in addition to the voluminous folders on the Thayers and Starrs.  The series includes correspondence, writings, printed materials, condolence letters, memorial plans, estate papers, and obituaries.
