MS-363, The Kettering Family Papers

Collection Number: MS-363

Title: The Kettering Family Papers

Dates: 1876-2006

Creator: Kettering Family

Summary/Abstract:

The Kettering Family Papers contain materials documenting the life of Charles F. Kettering, as

well as his son Eugene Kettering, daughter-in-law Virginia Kettering, and their children. The

Kettering family was heavily involved in the industrial and, later, philanthropic make-up of the

city of Dayton during the 20th century, and were greatly influential in the city's more recent

history. Made up primarily of photographs, correspondence, family keepsakes such as holiday

cards, photo albums and scrapbooks, the collection encompasses everything from births,

marriages, and anniversaries, to travel and the everyday goings on of a 20th Century American

family. At the same time the collection also chronicles the development of Dayton industries

with national significance like DELCO, Frigidaire, NCR and other institutions and landmarks

like the Winters Building (now Kettering Tower) and the National Museum of the United States

Air Force.

Biographical Historical Note:

Charles F. Kettering was born August 28, 1876 in Loudonville, Ohio to Jacob and Martha

Kettering. During his early life, his academic career was hindered by bad eyesight, and he was

forced to drop out of college twice. He finally received an electrical engineering degree at Ohio

State University in 1904, and married Olive Williams a year later. They had one son, Eugene,

born on April 20, 1908. Charles worked at NCR (the National Cash Register) as a research

engineer where he met E. A. Deeds, who later also would become a prominent Dayton

industrialist. He, Deeds and their “Barn Gang” were instrumental in the development of the first

electric starter for an automobile which would revolutionize the industry. Charles F. Kettering,

known as "Boss Ket" by most, went on to found DELCO (Dayton Engineering Laboratories

Company) with Col. E. A. Deeds. When DELCO was bought out by GM it became the General

Motors Research Corporation, and Kettering was made vice president in 1920, going on to work

there for 27 years. An active head of research and development at G.M., Kettering also built a

laboratory in the basement of his Ridgeleigh Terrace home in Dayton, as well as sponsoring the

development of laboratories at Antioch College.

Kettering held over 300 patents, second only to Thomas Edison. His inventions include Freon,

electric starters, ignition systems, headlights for automobiles, portable lighting systems, and the

'Kettering Bug,' a self-propelled aerial torpedo developed during WWI. Kettering was also

involved in the development of DUCO paint, ethyl gasoline, diesel engines, and alternative

energy sources like solar power.

His hobbies included traveling, and he traveled widely, including a cross-country drive with his

wife and others, and later to exotic destinations like the Galapagos Islands on his yacht the Olive

K., named for his wife. He was also a member of numerous clubs like the Cocolobo Bay Florida

Beach Club, the Surf Club, and along with Col. E. A. Deeds founded the Engineers Club of

Dayton.

As a result of his success, Mr. Kettering used his wealth to support a variety of philanthropic

interests. His interest in medical technology and the sudden death of his wife Olive Kettering in

1946 from pancreatic cancer, prompted him to match Alfred Sloan's contributions in founding

the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. This philanthropic nature served as the

foundation for the later development of the Kettering Health Network and the Kettering College

of Medical Arts, founded by his son and daughter-in-law.

For his achievements in engineering and philanthropy, Mr. Kettering received many awards and

honors both during his life and posthumously. He received honorary degrees from numerous

universities and in 1998 the General Motors Institute was renamed Kettering University, in honor

of his services to the company. There are also many elementary and high schools that bear his

name, as well as the City of Kettering, a suburb of Dayton. Charles F. Kettering died on

November 25, 1958.

Eugene Kettering, born in 1908 in Dayton, Ohio, was Charles' and Olive's only son. He

graduated from the Moraine Park School and attended Cornell University. He married Virginia

Weiffenbach on April 5, 1930; they went on to have three children, Charles F. II, Jane, and

Susan. Soon after being married he went to work at the Winton Engine Company and later the


Cleveland Diesel Engine Division of General Motors. In 1936, he moved to Detroit to work on

the 567 Series of Diesel Engines and was pivotal in the development of G.M.'s diesel-electric

locomotive. In 1938 he was promoted to Chief Engineer for the Electro-Motive Division, and

became Division Director in 1956. From 1958 until his resignation in 1960, he served as

Research Assistant to the General Manager, and as a consultant. He retired from General Motors

soon after his father’s death, so that he could manage the Kettering estate and philanthropic

legacy.

Eugene and his wife Virginia shared Boss Ket's philanthropic passion for medical technology

and care, establishing the Hinsdale Health Museum in Hinsdale, IL. in 1958, and opening the

Charles F. Kettering Memorial Hospital on March 3, 1964. Eugene also received multiple

honorary degrees and awards. He passed away at the age of 61 in 1969.

Virginia Weiffenbach was born in Bellevue, KY., on July 15, 1907, to Norman and Clara

Weiffenbach. The Weiffenbachs soon moved to Dayton where Virginia attended the Moraine

Park School. There she met Eugene Kettering, whom she married in 1930. She also attended

Carnegie Tech and Lutherville Seminary. During her life she shared her husband's interest in the

development of the United States Air Force Museum, as well as philanthropic interests,

especially in the areas of medicine and the arts. She was the director of numerous philanthropic

organizations including the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the Air Force Museum

Foundation, in addition to many others. Upon her husband Eugene’s death, Virginia continued

to be a generous patron of the arts and other civic and humanitarian causes.

For her efforts, Virginia received many awards including numerous honorary degrees. In early

1973, she married H. Warren Kampf. Mr. Kampf passed on August 15, 1979. Virginia Kettering

passed away on February 17, 2003.

Scope and Content: Due to the famous persons and well-known topics in this collection most of the series and

subseries have been grouped first alphabetically then chronologically. Those items too large to

fit in boxes have been moved to Drawers/Map Cases. The researcher should be aware of the

shift from Box # to Drawer # when using the finding aid and requesting items.

Series I, Mr. & Mrs. Charles F. Kettering (Boxes 1-23), covers professional documents relating

to Mr. Kettering and his wife, Olive. Subseries IA, Personal and Biographical Materials,

contains items such as short biographies and resumes, and documents of a personal nature

including birthday materials, passports, notebooks, etc. Subseries IB, Awards, is separated into

paperwork and actual three-dimensional medals and plaques in succeeding boxes. Some

awards/medals have been removed to oversize boxes and drawer storage due to their size; these

items are noted in the list accordingly. Subseries IC, Correspondence, is in alphabetical order by

recipient or, in some cases, sender. In Subseries ID, Publications/Presentations, is arranged

alphabetically by author. Those publications which deal in no way with Kettering, but which

were donated presumably are items he himself collected. In Subseries IE, Topics, the researcher

finds materials relating to friends (Alfred E. Sloan and C.E. Wilson, e.g.) and any important or

leisurely endeavors in which Mr. Kettering was engaged during his lifetime (yachting). Subseries

IF, Legal and Financial Documents, is organized alphabetically by institution. Here for instance


a folder on the Smith Gas Research Company contains any document relating to that company,

whether correspondence, financial or legal. Scant materials were grouped together under topics

such as "Patents" and would encompass patent information for a number of inventions.

Series II, Eugene and Virginia Kettering (Boxes 24-45), contains the papers of the Charles F.

Kettering's son Eugene (Gene) and daughter-in-law, Virginia (Jinny). The subseries here are

organized in much the same way as Series I, however items are first arranged by the shared

materials between Eugene and Virginia (vacations, children) then items belonging solely to

Eugene, and finally materials dealing specifically with Virginia. Each of these sections is

prefaced by the name of the person, to whom the materials belong, in bold print. The series does

contain materials related to the children of Eugene and Virginia, but any materials regarding

grandchildren and great-grandchildren are found in Series III.

Series III, Extended Family and Associates (Boxes 46-49), contains personal and professional

documents pertaining to Eugene and Virginia Kettering’s children’s families and other relatives

and associates of the Ketterings. Subseries IIIA, Charles F. Kettering II (Chuck), contains all

materials related to the family of Charles F. Kettering II and his children. This is followed by

Subseries IIIB, Jane Kettering-Lombard, and Subseries IIIC, Susan Kettering-Williamson.

Subseries IIID, The Weiffenbach Family, contains materials relating to Virginia Kettering’s

parents and ancestors. Finally, Subseries IIIE, William Handler, contains materials relating to a

Charles F. Kettering researcher who did extensive work on Charles F. Kettering throughout the

1990s.

Series IV, Foundations (Boxes 50-54), features the various philanthropic organizations founded

by the Kettering Family. They are divided into a Subseries for each organization as follows:

Subseries IVA, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital; Subseries IVB, The Kettering Foundation;

and Subseries IVC, Charles F. Kettering Inc. Though not an extensive collection of records for

any of these organizations, these subseries do contain deeds, patents, correspondence, annual

reports, and other documents the organizations generated.

Series V, Photographs (Boxes 55-81), are ordered first by Charles F. Kettering, Subseries VA;

Eugene and Virginia Kettering Family, Subseries VB; and finally Oversized Photographs,

Subseries VC. If a photograph was too large for a binder album it was placed in Subseries VC:

Oversized Photos, Paintings, and Drawings in an oversized flat box. If too large for a flat box, it

was placed in a drawer/map case. As throughout the rest of the collection a “document

removed” form is used as a place holder if one of the items was moved to oversize storage. In

most instances photographs are arranged alphabetically and then chronologically. This series

contains all types of photo, from formal portraits to candid shots, black and white, color and even

some daguerreotypes and tintypes. Many of the photographs correspond with events found

elsewhere throughout the collection, for instance the researcher may find a group of photos

which correspond to an award ceremony mentioned in an Awards subseries, or birthday photos

corresponding to a particular birthday event mentioned in Personal and Biographical Materials.

Series VI, Scrapbooks and Photo Albums (Boxes 88-103A), again follows the established

organizational procedure, with scrapbooks and albums for Charles F. Kettering arranged first,

followed by Eugene and Virginia Kettering. The scrapbooks contain clippings, photos and other


ephemera, dealing with events and periods of time, e.g. the life of Charles F. Kettering from

1930-1940, while the photo albums stem from casual and more formal events in the lives of the

Ketterings.

Series VII, Oversized Materials (Boxes 104-107, Unboxed Materials and Drawers 96-98),

contains all documents and items in the collection too large to fit in normal letter or legal-sized

document boxes, or other average-sized archival boxes. These materials come from every aspect

of the collection. So stored here are oversized photographs, awards, publications, etc. Arranged

here also are ledger books from Charles F. Kettering and Eugene Kettering, which are too large

and awkward for boxed storage. They are un-boxed and rest on the shelves next to the collection

proper.

Series VIII, Audio-Visual Materials (Boxes 108-112), contains cassette tapes, reel-to-reel

recordings, VHS tapes, 33 ½ Long-playing Records, and 16mm, 8mm and Super 8mm films.

These items deal mostly with Charles F. Kettering and Virginia Kettering and document

speeches made by Kettering and others, and also filmed events, such as the grand re-opening of

the Victoria Theatre.
