    (Kalamazoo College, 1968) Conrad, Lawrence H. (Lawrence Henry), 1898-1982; Williams Family
    This is a digitized version of the original Maynard Owen Williams collection inventory prepared for Kalamazoo College's Upjohn Library. It was created by Williams' literary executor and Emeritus Professor of English (Montclair University, New Jersey), Lawrence H. Conrad, Sr. The inventory includes a brief biography of Williams. The inventory is not dated, but was likely created in 1967 or 1968 as part of an exhibit on Williams in the then-new Upjohn Library.
