Biographical Note

Author and local history enthusiast, Pat was born in Tucson in 1928 to Wilma and Ivan Peters. Ivan Peters was property manager for Louise Foucar Marshall in the development and management of residential and commercial properties around the University of Arizona and served as vice-president and president of the Marshall Foundation after its creation in 1930. At her death, Louise Marshall left her personal property to Wilma Peters and later Wilma's daughter, Patricia, became interested in sharing the Marshall's story and the story of the West University neighborhood and Marshall Foundation properties. Pat produced three books on the subject as well as numerous articles, speeches, projects, and a University of Arizona web exhibit.


Scope and Content Note

Research materials, mostly photocopies, including correspondence, photographs, legal documents, diaries and guest registers gathered by Patricia Stephenson for her books and projects about Louise Foucar Marshall and her husband, Tom Marshall, and the West University neighborhood where they lived and developed homes and businesses. Materials created by Louise and Tom Marshall are located in MS 452. Original materials in this collection include letters between Peters family members and Louise Marshall, letters to Pat Stephenson by people who knew the Marshalls, genealogy and correspondence with Foucar family members, letters from Yolanda Tapia about the Yaqui community and photographs of the Marshall Foundation properties as they continued to be developed in the 1950s through the 1990s, but mostly in the 1990s. Letters are present from Louise's German relatives following World War II as Louise sent care packages and family members responded. There are photocopies of handwritten rental accounts for properties owned by the Marshalls in the University of Arizona area beginning in 1903 but mostly in the 1920s and 1930s. These are different than the typed reports in MS 452. There are photographs, letters and publicity concerning the Marshall Foundation's involvement in building and opening the Yaqui Community Center in the 1990s. Also present are copies of newspaper clippings and other publicity about the Marshall Foundation's work and Tom Marshall's death and the subsequent murder trial
