Melrose Collection
Biographical Sketch
Carmelite "Cammie" Henry was born January 14, 1871 on Scattery Plantation in Ascension Parish. She was the only daughter of Leu Divine Erwin and Captain Stephen Garrett. Cammie was a graduate of Normal State College in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and in 1894 she married planter John Hampton Henry. In 1899, after receiving the property from John's father Joseph Henry, the Henrys moved to Melrose Plantation in Natchitoches Parish. John continued as a planter, while Cammie bore eight children from 1894-1915.
After John died in 1917, Cammie sought management help of the farm. With the extra help, she began to expand her interests in gardening, literature, weaving, art and history. Cammie began to actively seek the company of Louisiana writers and artists and collecting materials on Louisiana. She continued to retain her interests and remained in good health until the 1940's. At age seventy-eight, Cammie died from complications received after falling following a stroke.Scope and Content
The bulk of the collected materials includes correspondence, photographs, leaflets, pamphlets, journal articles, magazine articles, newspaper clippings, cards, telegraph messages, and Cammie G. Henry's notations pertaining to the artists and writers who visited or corresponded with her and Louisiana’s heritage. These items are housed in scrapbooks, folders and boxes, newspaper boxes, and bound volumes. Materials are arranged by subject, then chronologically.
Over 800 linear feet in length, The Melrose Collection not only contains rare colonial documents, but also the records of its landowners that provide a rich glimpse into the history of the area. Correspondence may be found from Lyle Saxon, Henry Chambers, Caroline Dormon, Ada Jack Carver, Rachel Field, Ellsworth and William Woodward, Grace King, Roark Bradford, William Spratling and Rudolph Matas. In addition to Henry’s attention to history, architecture and the arts, the collection reflects her interest in gardening and weaving.
The depth and breadth of documented history represented encompasses French, Spanish, and English written evidence of Northwest Louisiana’s inhabitants both male and female, slaved and free, including Native Americans, French, Spanish, African, Creole, and later the Anglo invasion as a result of the Louisiana Purchase by the United States that formed interwoven communities, especially the free people of color community along Isle Brevelle on Cane River in Natchitoches Parish.

The following materials include personal items that belonged to the Henry family. The items were grouped in an approximate manner in regards to possible ownership. However, original order was unknown at the time of processing.
Boxes 1-2
These items consist of photographs, the bulk of which are not identified or dated. These photographs relate largely to the Henry family and Melrose Plantation. Some photographs document other parts of Louisiana. Also included are a photo scrapbook documenting Joe M. Henry's time at Marion Military Academy, and some photos (developed in Baton Rouge, actual area unknown) documenting The 1927 Flood (box 1).
Box 3
These items appear to be diaries and notes of Henry family sons (1936-37, n.d.).
Box 4
This box contains military-related literature. Possibly owned by Stephen Henry. Of note is a vintage Mexican flag with no documentation (1913-45, n.d.).
Boxes 5-6
These boxes contain three bound volumes of sheet music. Most appear to date around the early twentieth century.
Box 7
These items appear to have belonged to Cammie Henry. Included are publications related to her interests of quilting and Louisiana history. Of note in this box is Cammie Henry's personal address book (1845-1953, n.d.).
