Series 1: Biographical, 1951-1970, inclusive
Scope and Contents
This series contains newspaper clippings recognizing Schiller's achievements by various civic and community groups, as well as awards that Schiller received, including the Boy Scouts' Silver Beaver Award and the Community Civic Award from Flatlands Post #391, American Legion. Other material includes a publicity photo of Schiller and his "Community Mayor of Mill Basin" business card.
Supplemental material in this series can be found in the last two folders, as well as some of the material in folder 2, described below. The first supplemental folder contains material related to Schiller's death, including a paid death notice in the New York Times. The second supplemental folder contains material given by Teddi Schiller in 2004.
In Folder 2, only one photo is original to the collection: the publicity head shot that only has Schiller's purple property stamp on the verso (the unoriginal print of this photo has additional markings on the verso). The other photos were removed to this collection from BCMS.0002 (Brooklyn Daily Eagle photographs).
