Profiles: Daphne Ely (1891-1981)
Daphne Ely was a resident of Lyme and active community member, but before settling down in the town where her ancestors had settled, Daphne lived in Hartford and documented her life from 1911-1914 in her scrapbook. She was also an avid collector of newspaper clippings, local advertisements, and invitations to social events, and her scrapbook details four years in the life of a Hartford socialite in the early 20th century.
Profiles: Margaret Courtright Brown (1904–1994)

Family letters and the journal of a famous American novelist shed light on his character and his years at sea.
