This subseries contains biographical information, almost entirely clippings, concerning various members of the Townshend family. The subseries is arranged by person, from earliest to latest born, and includes obituaries and articles on members of the Townshend family. Harriet N. Townshend, who was the last member of the first class of Ohio State University, receives particular attention.

These writings, both published and unpublished, are on a variety of topics: religious, personal, and professional. They are arranged by author in order of earliest to latest birth date. Lydia Sayer Hasbrouck, the famous dress reformer and publisher ofSybil, was a family friend of the Dodges, and a poem she gave to them is included.
