Collection Description

Biographical Note

Emilie Hasford, née Werner, was born in 1796 Bartenstein near Königsberg, East Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia). Her husband was an officer in the Prussian military under General Johann David Ludwig Graf Yorck von Wartenburg.

Scope and Content Note

The collection consists primarily of three poesiealben kept by Emilie Hasford and her female descendants. Poesiealben are autograph books in which friends, family, teachers, mentors, or others wrote messages by which the owner of the book would remember them. These were often a poem, song lyric, or other inspirational message. Some of the entries are hand illustrated. Hasford passed the album down to her granddaughter Gertrud (Lengnick) Werner, who in turn passed it to her daughters Margarethe Werner Kunze and Ursula Werner. Kunze then gave the albums to her daughter Anneliese Kunze, who eventually passed them along to her daughter Sigrun Mueller. The collection also includes the family "Luther Bibel,” a translation of the Bible by Martin Luther, which belonged to Hasford and was also inherited through the women in the family. Family photographs in the collection depict the women who created and contributed to the poesieablen and include descriptions by Mueller.
