The ledger documents household and farm expenses and also includes periodic diary entries (generally written on a semiweekly basis). Various newspaper clippings are pasted to the front inside cover and flyleaf. Topics include home remedies and political news. Also included are two loose newspapers clippings concerning a death of Juette Larett and a new fencing regulation put into place in Virginia. These clippings have been removed from the ledger and foldered separately.","The accounting portion of the ledger concerns Frenger's household and farm expenses (payment of fire insurance policy, tobacco, medicine, and axle grease) and receipts for goods sold (produce sold at store, bacon sold, and beef sold to butcher).","Frenger's periodic entries primarily document the weather and general farm activities including planting, harvesting, and the overall condition of the farm. He records his church attendance, social visits, and travels to surrounding communities. Frenger also comments on local deaths and general town gossip. Many entries conclude with \"No News.\"","Of particular interest are Frenger's extensive accounts of the assassination attempt and eventual death of President James A. Garfield. He writes on July 3, 1881 of the assassination (attempt) of Garfield: \"Special Sad News: President Garfield was Assassinated yesterday in Washington yesterday just as he was boarding the cars by a man by the name of Grottoe [sic]. Mr. Garfield is my special friend and his sad end I can hardly bear. Tears do Flow when I think of the Great and Good man. May God Take care of him is my Hearts desire.\" Frenger writes on July 10, 1881, presumably after the news had reached August County, that President Garfield had been shot and only wounded: \"I am Truly Happy to Record the fact that President Garfield is Improving and is likely to Recover.\" However, Frenger's August 21, 1881 entry describes the inevitable: \"President Garfield is growing Worse I fear he will Die.\" He continues to write about President Garfield throughout September 1881 and concludes with a heartfelt entry on September 25: \"I am Sorry beyond Expression to note the Death of our venerable President James Abram Garfield which occurred at Long Branch on last Monday night at 10:35 P.M.\" Finally, Frenger mentions on July 2, 1882 that Guiteau, Garfield's assassin, was hung the week prior.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.
