CALEB WORLEY ORR SCRAPBOOK COLLECTION
INTRODUCTION
The Caleb Worley Orr Scrapbook was accessioned into the Flesh Public Library Archives and Special Collections c. 1986. The donor and the author of the scrapbook are not identified. The scrapbook was created from a large blank ledger book. The scrapbook consists of 115 pages of photographs, letters, announcements, invitations, and newspaper clippings. The earliest date of material in the scrapbook which can be determined is 3 April 1907. The latest date which can be determined is December 1918. The scrapbook is concerned with events in the life of Caleb Worley Orr in the years 1907-1918.
The scrapbook covers the period in which Mr. Orr was a student at the Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire and then at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire (Class of 1912). Mr. Orr was then a businessman in Piqua after his years at Dartmouth and the scrapbook concerns itself with his social life as a bachelor member of Piqua society and of The Piqua Club. When the United States entered World War I, Mr. Orr volunteered for service with the army, went through officer training and was assigned to the 314th Supply Train and served in France. His service in World War I where he rose to the rank of Captain marks the conclusion of the scrapbook.
The collection is housed in one 12”x15”x10” Gaylord box. The collection is divided into 34 files with each file holding the materials from two to eight pages of the scrapbook. The files are arranged in order by scrapbook page number and a copy of the original pages is located with the materials from those pages in each file. A copy of the entire scrapbook is housed in file 34.
The scrapbook is useful to record the life of upper class Piqua society in the period 1910-1920. The ownership and copyright to these materials rests with the Flesh Public Library. There are no restrictions on the use of these materials.
HISTORY
Caleb Worley (Jake) Orr was born in Piqua 16 January 1886. He was the son of Joshua Williamson Orr and Margaret Henry Orr. Joshua Williamson Orr was a twin to Caleb Worley Orr (1845-1935) and also the brother of William Perrine Orr [founder of Orr Felt and Blanket Co.]. Mr. Orr attended Phillips Exeter Academy and Dartmouth College. He is listed in the alumni notes of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity with the class of 1912 but it appears that he did not graduate from Dartmouth. He served in World War I with the 314th Supply Train in France where he rose to the rank of Captain. He served in World War II in England. At the outbreak of World War II he was battalion commander of the Ohio National Guard 137th Division, Field Artillery where he had achieved the rank of Colonel. Mr. Orr was a businessman in Piqua and was also employed with the State of Ohio Sales Tax Department.
In November 1927 Mr. Orr married Carolyn Nutt of Sidney, Ohio in a wedding that took place in Cleveland. From this union came four children, Margaret (Peggy) Orr who married Robert L. Baker, John P. Orr, Caleb W. Orr Jr., and Earl W. Orr. Mr. Orr died on 13 August 1966. Genealogical information on the Orr Family and a box inventory can be found in a folder in the front of the box.
