Clinton League Memory Book
Description: Photograph of the Knight family of Oakland Park Avenue in Clintonville, taken on Easter 1933. Pictured are Mr. and Mrs. Howard and Pauline Knight, with their children Jean, Phillip and Howard. The Knight family regularly hosted Clinton League events at their home. According to a caption accompanying the photograph, Phillip and Howard Jr. were both killed in service to their county, likely during combat in World War II. This image was included in a "Memory Book" compiled by Mrs. H. V. Cottrell, historian for the Clinton League (sometimes called the Clinton Welfare League) from 1938-1943. The book shows the development of the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, and records the history of the League. The Clinton League was a women's group founded in 1912 to promote child welfare and later general welfare in Columbus, but which was based in and primarily focused on the area of Clintonville.
