Title A name given to the resource Converse, Clarence Crozar Description An account of the resource Charles Crozar Converse (1832–1918) was the son of the Charles Crozar Converse Sr., American attorney, composer, and hymn writer best known for pairing William H. Monk’s hymn tune Consolation with the words of Joseph Scriven’s “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” creating one of the most beloved gospel hymns of the 19th century. Trained as a lawyer at Albany Law School, Converse balanced his legal career with a lifelong passion for music. He composed under both his own name and the pseudonym Karl Reden, contributing a wide range of sacred and secular works, from hymn tunes to part songs. His ability to bridge classical European styles with accessible melodies made his music especially popular in churches across America. Though never as widely recognized as other hymn composers of his time, Converse’s contribution to Christian music remains enduring, with “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” continuing to be sung around the world. Converse lived on Hudson Avenue in Englewood. Converse’s wife Inez died in Englewood in 1964 on Ivy Lane at the age of 94. https://archive.englewoodmakeshistory.org/files/original/76d0e6ad1eb0721ddd519a6dc4609536.jpg 3fc73d1171036a8dc72cc55bd921aef5 Document A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Title A name given to the resource Coolidge, John Calvin, Jr. (1872-1933) Subject The topic of the resource Politics, Federal Politics, State Description An account of the resource Calvin Coolidge (John Calvin Coolidge Jr.) was an attorney, public servant, and the 30th President of the United States whose career reflected a deep commitment to restraint, character, and civic responsibility. Raised in rural Vermont, Coolidge absorbed values of discipline and self-reliance that would shape both his public philosophy and personal relationships. At Amherst College, where he graduated with the Class of 1895, Coolidge formed one of the most enduring friendships of his life with Dwight Whitney Morrow. Though temperamentally reserved, Coolidge held Morrow in exceptional regard, admiring his intellectual seriousness, humility, and devotion to public service. The bond formed at Amherst would later extend into the highest levels of national and international affairs. After establishing a law practice in Northampton, Massachusetts, Coolidge rose steadily through public office, serving as a state legislator, mayor, governor, vice president, and ultimately president from 1923 to 1929. His administration emphasized fiscal restraint, limited government, and moral clarity, but it was also shaped by personal trust in individuals of proven character—none more so than Morrow. That trust extended beyond policy. During the mid-1920s, Coolidge and his wife, Grace Coolidge, occupied a central position in Washington’s political and social life. Following the 1927 transatlantic flight, they publicly embraced Charles Lindbergh, welcoming him into elite diplomatic and social circles and elevating him as a national symbol of discipline and achievement. Through this patronage, Lindbergh became closely associated with the Coolidge administration and, in particular, with Dwight Morrow. As Lindbergh’s friendship with Morrow deepened—especially during Morrow’s service as U.S. Ambassador to Mexico—he became a regular presence within the Morrow household. It was there that Lindbergh came to know Elizabeth Morrow, Dwight Morrow’s daughter. While the Coolidges did not arrange the relationship, their sponsorship and social inclusion of Lindbergh placed him within the intimate circle where that relationship could develop organically. After leaving the presidency, Coolidge reflected on Morrow’s life in a 1930 introduction to a biography of his former classmate. In rare personal prose, he praised Morrow’s humility, intellectual balance, and resistance to personal glory—qualities Coolidge believed essential to democratic leadership. He credited Morrow’s diplomatic success not to force or display, but to judgment, patience, and moral seriousness. Coolidge married Grace Goodhue in 1905, and together they raised two sons, John and Calvin Jr. By the time of his death in 1933, Coolidge was remembered less for rhetorical flourish than for steadiness of purpose. His lifelong friendship with Dwight Morrow—and his indirect role in shaping the social world that connected Morrow, Lindbergh, and Elizabeth Morrow—reveals a man who believed that character, once recognized, should be trusted and quietly elevated in service of the public good. “<a href="coolidgefoundation.org/presidency/a-biographical-sketch-of-calvin-coolidge/">A Biographical Sketch of Calvin Coolidge</a>.” Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation iCal.

Title A name given to the resource Crawford, Rosella T. Description An account of the resource Born in 1917, Rosella T. Crawford was a lifelong community leader and quiet force in Englewood, New Jersey, known for blending grassroots compassion with sustained civic engagement. Active in local politics for decades, she served as a Democratic committeewoman in Englewood’s Fourth Ward and worked behind the scenes on party committees rather than seeking elected office herself. In 1967, she was appointed to the Bergen County Welfare Board, filling an unexpired term, where she brought a strong commitment to public service and social equity. Her civic involvement also extended to the Bergen County chapter of the NAACP, where she served on the executive board, reflecting her deep engagement with civil rights and community advocacy. Beyond formal roles, Crawford was widely respected for her personal approach to service. She was known for responding directly to families in need—often delivering groceries herself and leaving quietly without seeking recognition. Friends and family described her as principled and steadfast, someone with a strong sense of right and wrong who did not back down when she believed an injustice was occurring. Though she could be imposing in stature and presence, she was equally remembered for her warmth, generosity, and ability to bring people together through kindness. Crawford was also active in civic and social organizations, including the Urban League, and was recognized publicly for her contributions to public relations and community life through groups such as the National Council of Negro Women. She remained engaged in public affairs well into later life, maintaining a reputation as a reliable advocate for fairness and dignity. When she died in 2003 at age 86, she was remembered not simply for the offices she held, but for a lifetime of unheralded service that left a lasting imprint on Englewood and Bergen County. https://archive.englewoodmakeshistory.org/files/original/129d66f0500a3e902d76e5adadb736e7.jpg 71207fb76b2af31b0d7b507ed3c9c470 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
