The Newberry Library, Chicago, has a collection of the papers of Edward Manierre's grandson, Mitchell Dawson, whose parents were George Ellis and Eva Manierre Dawson, prominent Chicago citizens. George Ellis Dawson was a successful lawyer, and Eva Manierre the daughter of Edward Manierre. "Correspondence, diaries, genealogical materials, scrapbooks and photographs from both the Dawson and Manierre families vividly reflect life in Illinois and the Midwest at the turn of the century."
