<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Clara Elise Linn was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1892. In her youth, Clara was involved the Christian Endeavor and the Student Volunteer Movement, two Christian missionary organizations. Clara worked as a secretary for Houghton Mifflin and then for the Ludlow Manufacturing Company in Boston. In 1913, Clara met Roy Creighton through the Christian Endeavor program.</p>
<p>Roy Creighton was born in Arizona in 1889. When he met Clara he was studying architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. At the beginning of 1916, Roy left Harvard to join the YMCA, which stationed him in China. The same year, Clara entered the School of Pedagogy at the Hartford Theological Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut, where she met Ruth Hahn, a missionary nurse who had worked in China and was on furlough in Connecticut. In 1916, Ruth and Clara traveled to China to join Roy. Clara and Roy got married in Kuling, China in 1916.</p>
<p>The Creightons served as missionaries for the first half of the twentieth century. Roy's experience in architecture qualified him to become a “missionary architect,” trainhing and supervising local craftsmen in Western construction methods in order to erect YMCA buildings, missions, and schools. The Creightons lived and worked primarily in China from 1915 to 1949. However, after a furlough in the United States throughout the 1920s, the Creightons were stationed in Beirut, Lebanon around 1928. The family lived and worked in Lebanon, where Roy helped construct new buildings at the American University of Beirut, for two years. The Creightons had three children that survived to adulthood: Linn, Roger, and Phyllis. Phyllis Creighton Danby married Dr. Tony Danby, a professor at North Carolina State University. </p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs taken by American missionaries Clara Elise Linn and Roy Creighton in the first half of the twentieth century. The collection documents the lives of the Creighton family while they were stationed in Beirut, Lebanon around 1928, shortly after the country's establishment as an independent nation. The images in this collection depict the family at the various historical and cultural sites that they visited during vacation. In addition to documenting the family life of Clara and Roy Creighton and their three children, these images depict the landscape and culture of Lebanon during this period of transformation.

<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Clara Elise Linn was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1892. In her youth, Clara was involved the Christian Endeavor and the Student Volunteer Movement, two Christian missionary organizations. Clara worked as a secretary for Houghton Mifflin and then for the Ludlow Manufacturing Company in Boston. In 1913, Clara met Roy Creighton through the Christian Endeavor program.</p>
<p>Roy Creighton was born in Arizona in 1889. When he met Clara he was studying architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. At the beginning of 1916, Roy left Harvard to join the YMCA, which stationed him in China. The same year, Clara entered the School of Pedagogy at the Hartford Theological Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut, where she met Ruth Hahn, a missionary nurse who had worked in China and was on furlough in Connecticut. In 1916, Ruth and Clara traveled to China to join Roy. Clara and Roy got married in Kuling, China in 1916.</p>
<p>The Creightons served as missionaries for the first half of the twentieth century. Roy's experience in architecture qualified him to become a “missionary architect,” trainhing and supervising local craftsmen in Western construction methods in order to erect YMCA buildings, missions, and schools. The Creightons lived and worked primarily in China from 1915 to 1949. However, after a furlough in the United States throughout the 1920s, the Creightons were stationed in Beirut, Lebanon around 1928. The family lived and worked in Lebanon, where Roy helped construct new buildings at the American University of Beirut, for two years. The Creightons had three children that survived to adulthood: Linn, Roger, and Phyllis. Phyllis Creighton Danby married Dr. Tony Danby, a professor at North Carolina State University. </p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs taken by American missionaries Clara Elise Linn and Roy Creighton in the first half of the twentieth century. The collection documents the lives of the Creighton family while they were stationed in Beirut, Lebanon around 1928, shortly after the country's establishment as an independent nation. The images in this collection depict the family at the various historical and cultural sites that they visited during vacation. In addition to documenting the family life of Clara and Roy Creighton and their three children, these images depict the landscape and culture of Lebanon during this period of transformation.

<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Clara Elise Linn was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1892. In her youth, Clara was involved the Christian Endeavor and the Student Volunteer Movement, two Christian missionary organizations. Clara worked as a secretary for Houghton Mifflin and then for the Ludlow Manufacturing Company in Boston. In 1913, Clara met Roy Creighton through the Christian Endeavor program.</p>
<p>Roy Creighton was born in Arizona in 1889. When he met Clara he was studying architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. At the beginning of 1916, Roy left Harvard to join the YMCA, which stationed him in China. The same year, Clara entered the School of Pedagogy at the Hartford Theological Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut, where she met Ruth Hahn, a missionary nurse who had worked in China and was on furlough in Connecticut. In 1916, Ruth and Clara traveled to China to join Roy. Clara and Roy got married in Kuling, China in 1916.</p>
<p>The Creightons served as missionaries for the first half of the twentieth century. Roy's experience in architecture qualified him to become a “missionary architect,” trainhing and supervising local craftsmen in Western construction methods in order to erect YMCA buildings, missions, and schools. The Creightons lived and worked primarily in China from 1915 to 1949. However, after a furlough in the United States throughout the 1920s, the Creightons were stationed in Beirut, Lebanon around 1928. The family lived and worked in Lebanon, where Roy helped construct new buildings at the American University of Beirut, for two years. The Creightons had three children that survived to adulthood: Linn, Roger, and Phyllis. Phyllis Creighton Danby married Dr. Tony Danby, a professor at North Carolina State University. </p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs taken by American missionaries Clara Elise Linn and Roy Creighton in the first half of the twentieth century. The collection documents the lives of the Creighton family while they were stationed in Beirut, Lebanon around 1928, shortly after the country's establishment as an independent nation. The images in this collection depict the family at the various historical and cultural sites that they visited during vacation. In addition to documenting the family life of Clara and Roy Creighton and their three children, these images depict the landscape and culture of Lebanon during this period of transformation. Images include Roy Creighton working with Lebanese builders to construct the American University of Beirut.</p>

<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Clara Elise Linn was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1892. In her youth, Clara was involved the Christian Endeavor and the Student Volunteer Movement, two Christian missionary organizations. Clara worked as a secretary for Houghton Mifflin and then for the Ludlow Manufacturing Company in Boston. In 1913, Clara met Roy Creighton through the Christian Endeavor program.</p>
<p>Roy Creighton was born in Arizona in 1889. When he met Clara he was studying architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. At the beginning of 1916, Roy left Harvard to join the YMCA, which stationed him in China. The same year, Clara entered the School of Pedagogy at the Hartford Theological Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut, where she met Ruth Hahn, a missionary nurse who had worked in China and was on furlough in Connecticut. In 1916, Ruth and Clara traveled to China to join Roy. Clara and Roy got married in Kuling, China in 1916.</p>
<p>The Creightons served as missionaries for the first half of the twentieth century. Roy's experience in architecture qualified him to become a “missionary architect,” trainhing and supervising local craftsmen in Western construction methods in order to erect YMCA buildings, missions, and schools. The Creightons lived and worked primarily in China from 1915 to 1949. However, after a furlough in the United States throughout the 1920s, the Creightons were stationed in Beirut, Lebanon around 1928. The family lived and worked in Lebanon, where Roy helped construct new buildings at the American University of Beirut, for two years. The Creightons had three children that survived to adulthood: Linn, Roger, and Phyllis. Phyllis Creighton Danby married Dr. Tony Danby, a professor at North Carolina State University. </p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs taken by American missionaries Clara Elise Linn and Roy Creighton in the first half of the twentieth century.

<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Clara Elise Linn was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1892. In her youth, Clara was involved the Christian Endeavor and the Student Volunteer Movement, two Christian missionary organizations. Clara worked as a secretary for Houghton Mifflin and then for the Ludlow Manufacturing Company in Boston. In 1913, Clara met Roy Creighton through the Christian Endeavor program.</p>
<p>Roy Creighton was born in Arizona in 1889. When he met Clara he was studying architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. At the beginning of 1916, Roy left Harvard to join the YMCA, which stationed him in China. The same year, Clara entered the School of Pedagogy at the Hartford Theological Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut, where she met Ruth Hahn, a missionary nurse who had worked in China and was on furlough in Connecticut. In 1916, Ruth and Clara traveled to China to join Roy. Clara and Roy got married in Kuling, China in 1916.</p>
<p>The Creightons served as missionaries for the first half of the twentieth century. Roy's experience in architecture qualified him to become a “missionary architect,” trainhing and supervising local craftsmen in Western construction methods in order to erect YMCA buildings, missions, and schools. The Creightons lived and worked primarily in China from 1915 to 1949. However, after a furlough in the United States throughout the 1920s, the Creightons were stationed in Beirut, Lebanon around 1928. The family lived and worked in Lebanon, where Roy helped construct new buildings at the American University of Beirut, for two years. The Creightons had three children that survived to adulthood: Linn, Roger, and Phyllis. Phyllis Creighton Danby married Dr. Tony Danby, a professor at North Carolina State University. </p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs taken by American missionaries Clara Elise Linn and Roy Creighton in the first half of the twentieth century.
