Handwritten document of family genealogy by Scott C. Harrison. This was pasted into his Bible, undated. On the back is an article clipping about Harrison and Sadie D. Johnson obtaining a marriage license in August 1913. It noted: "No sooner had clerk Glen laid down his pen than Scott C. Harrison of Fort Wayne, Ind. and Miss Sadie D. Johnson, of West Chester, climbed the short flight of stairs leading into the office. They also blushingly requested a marriage license".

This collection consists of a leather-bound Bible owned by Scott C. Harrison, a Black attorney, in the 1880s-1910s. Inside the Bible are clippings, hand-written notes, lists of family genealogy, and a pamphlet for a social club meeting.
