This rare framed behind glass diploma is part of an important archive associated with the Collings/Kirker family of Adams Co., Ohio that I have listed in my shop. The Archive over-all consists of materials from the Kirker-Collings-Gibson family of Adams Co., Ohio, from just before statehood to the end of the 20th century. Two of the progenitors of this clan are James R. Gibson and his wife, Martha King Gibson. This diploma and the archive appear to have been accumulated and come through Mary King Collings, who, it appears never married.*Please take a moment to examine my other outstanding items from this vast archive currently listed in my store.
