Summary: Correspondence, biographies and autobiographies, miscellaneous printed material, photocopies of Mandan Abstract Company minutes, news clippings, a manuscript “My visit to Yellowstone Park,” scrapbook, photographs and a photograph album. The correspondence includes letters to A. Kirk about genealogical material available at the Mandan Historical Society, the publication “Lantermans in America,” scans of records of the Mandan Creamery that include Lanterman family members and a transcribed letter to Georgia Greenwood Lanterman from her sister Sarah Johnson Lanterman. Biographies of Harriet Maria Shaw Lanterman (Mrs. W. A.) and W. A. Lanterman and an autobiography of W. A. Lanterman (with draft) are included with the collection. The manuscript “My visit to Yellowstone Park” is a short reminiscence by an unidentified Lanterman relative who took the trip as a 12 year old in July 1923. The news clippings cover the W. A. Lanterman Home in Mandan, a photograph of the Mandan High School graduating class of 1908, and an obituary of W. A. Lanterman. The Mandan Abstract Company minutes (copied) were sent to Kirk Lanterman from Myron Atkinson to A. Lanterman and reflect the roles played by A. Lanterman and H. W. Lanterman in the corporation from 1920-1948. Finally, the miscellaneous printed material includes the U.S. Passport of Horace William Lanterman, a graduation announcement for the Mandan High School class of 1919, and an article about the expansion of the North Dakota Heritage Center.
