Biographical NoteResiding in Paterson, New Jersey during the years 1910-1917, Percy Keller was most likely a former student of J. Harvey Hanford. Return to the Table of Contents Scope and Content NoteThe collection consists chiefly of incoming letters, but also includes a pamphlet, a penmanship tablet and photographs, much of which was sent to Percy Keller by J. Harvey Hanford. In his letters, Hanford reports on his health, his family, and on his religious beliefs and practices. Of particular interest is his mention of Billy Sunday, an evangelist known for his attacks on liquor consumption. Hanford congratulates Keller on being a member of Billy Sunday’s church, and regrets that he has never seen him preach. Enclosed with Hanford’s letter, is a printed history of his church in Unionville, in which he is featured, and his portrait dated 1917.
