The Annie Laurie Jones Cunyus Hymnal Collection
The Annie Laurie Jones Cunyus Hymnal
Collection was donated by Dorothy Anne Roth. Mrs. Cunyus,
grandmother of donor Dorothy Anne Roth, was born at Cartersville,
at "Fairview," in August 1871. She sang throughout the American
south with her legendary Evangelist uncle, the Reverend Sam P.
Jones. Mrs. Cunyus also sang with her father, the Reverend Joe
Jones, and with the Reverend B. F. Pim, father of Dorothy Anne
Roth.
In addition to Mrs. Cunyus's hymnals,
the collection includes sermon notes of Benjamin Franklin Pim,
books about Sam Jones, photographs of Mrs. Cunyus and the Rev. Joe
Jones and other relevant books.
This wonderful, rich collection is
housed in the Archives and Special Collection Room and is
available for viewing by appointment. |
