SLAGLE MUSEUM
15111 SYRACUSE STREET
WESTMINSTER, CALIFORNIA 92683
NOTE:
While clearing out Gene Slagle's office at 463 E. Center in Marion,
Ohio and Gene and Emily's home, we discovered many pictures, letters
and other collectibles. Included was 21 shirt sized boxes full of
letters, newspaper clippings and pictures. Emily was going to put
these 21 boxes of materials in scrapbooks but developed macular
degeneration. Nelson took on the task of sifting through all of
the 21 boxes in 2006-7 and the materials are now in 13
scrapbooks. That includes five folders of letters, 5 scrapbook
notebooks and 3 albums of pictures. The large pictures, books,
auction catalogs, certificates, old deeds, and other items of
interest are now displayed in a one bedroom converted museum. The
closest was converted into one huge bookcase. Below are pictures
of the collection.
