Letters, photographs, diaries, concert programs, bank passbooks, and other ephemera documenting the lives of Nina Mae (Hatch) Forde (1891-1985) and her fiance and later husband, Warren P. Forde (1892-1976), who spent their married life in Newton. The collection includes portrait and snapshot photographs; numerous letters from Sgt. Warren Forde to Nina Mae Hatch from U.S. training camps and from France during World War I, prior to their marriage [transcriptions of many of these letters are available]; a pocket Bible given to Warren from Nina during WWI, numerous programs from Nina Mae Hatch's concert performances; Nina Mae Hatch's pocket diary from 1908; Nina Mae Forde's pocket diaries 1977-81 and her bank passbooks from 1968-1980; an undated menu from The Pillar House Restaurant; and a punched ticket for the Boston & Worcester Railroad from Boston to Riverside. One letter from Warren to Nina Mae describes the celebrations in Paris after the Armistice in 1918. Another from 1918 indicates that Nina Mae had broken up with Warren by letter; this one is accompanied by a letter from Warren's mother in the same envelope. (Apparently Warren and Nina Mae were later reconciled.) Nina Mae Hatch (1891-1985) was born in Boston. She was an amateur classical soprano singer, performing in numerous local concerts. She married Warren P. Forde (1892-1976), also of Boston, sometime after WWI, and the couple moved to 178 Dickerman Road in Newton.
