Lyda Russell Caughman Collection (MUM00068). The Department of Archives and Special Collections, J.D. Williams Library, The University of Mississippi.
Lyda Russell Caughman was born july 26, 1897 in Daniel, Smith County, Mississippi. She was the eighth living child of Victor Hugo and Susan Laura Jones Russell.in 1922 Lyda married Carl Caughman of Burns, Mississippi. Carl Caughman was a graduate of Lutheran Southern Seminary. Immediately after their marriage, Carl and Lyda left for a seven year stay in India as Lutheran missionaries.
Collection consists of correspondence, photographs, and documents related to the life of Lyda Russell Caughman from 1922-1987. The first half of this collection is principally composed of letters and journal entries from this early period in their marriage and is primarily in Lyda's voice. She served with her husband as a missionary in India between 1922-1929. There is a small addition of correspondence from the 1940's with their daughters at Newberry College, SC and from Lyda to Carl while he recuperated from a nervous breakdown. Finally, there is a considerable body of correspondance written by Carl Caughmen to Lyda, his mother and his daughters. And a very small selection of family papers from other members of the family.
