Gallaher married Elizabeth Bowen of Shepherdstown, Virginia, and in 1848 moved their 4 sons and 3 daughters to a prominent home, \"Rose Hall,\" located near the Virginia Central Railroad in Waynesboro. Gallaher owned farms, a mill, and a tannery in and around Waynesboro. His loyalty during the Civil War was a subject of controversy, as he was known to entertain both Union and Confederate soldiers in his home. In 1871 he petitioned the Southern Claims Commission that he should be reimbursed for $32,587.50 worth of property, purportedly taken by U.S. troops to benefit the U.S. Army, invoking a provision intended to reimburse Southerners who had remained loyal to the Union during the war. The claim was challenged and denied, and further investigation revealed that Gallaher had served as a blockade runner and privateer for the Confederacy.","Sons, William Bowen (1840-1911) and Dewitt Clinton (D.C.) Gallaher were born in Shepherdstown, Virginia (now West Virginia) and attended Waynesboro Academy in Waynesboro as youth. Both fought for the Confederate army and William was present at the battle of First Manassas in 1861. William B. worked as an engineer and Dewitt went on to become an attorney. William married Amelia Frances Briscoe (1845-1911), a member of a prominent Maryland family. The family lived at an estate called \"Springdale,\" near Waynesboro. ","Juliet Hite Gallaher (1871-1951), oldest daughter of William B. and Amelia Briscoe Gallaher, served as Vice President of the Waynesboro chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and appeared to have written several articles for Good Housekeeping magazine in the 1910s. ","Capt. John L. Briscoe (1836-1900), brother to Amelia Briscoe Gallaher and Juliet B. Miller, served in the Confederate army as an Assistant Quartermaster in Mahone's Division.","According to the record of sale, the papers were formerly part of the estate of Gene H. Baber, of Fishersville Virginia. The seller's description reads: \"Lot of 16 pieces, manuscript and printed, including five-page listing of the members of the Elliott G. Fishburne Chapter of the UDC, Waynesboro VA (organized 1896) from 1896 to 1925, two 1858 autograph letters signed by John Letcher, Civil War governor of Virginia written from Lexington, VA to Hugh Gallaher, and three letters concerning Confederate Veterans. 1864-1925.

V. Department of Virginia. It includes two personal letters from Virginia governor John Letcher to Hugh Lafferty Gallaher, written in 1858, before Letcher assumed the office of Virginia governor.  ","An 1864 account by M.J. Baldwin lists expenses charged to Amelia Briscoe, then 19 years old, presumably for her education. It contains line items for Washing, French, Latin, Music and Use of Piano.  ","The papers contain two letters from attorney and Virginia governor John Letcher to Hugh L. Gallaher (father of William Bowen Gallaher). In an 1858 letter, written in Lexington, Virginia, Letcher thanks Hugh L. Gallaher for the role his son took in relaying information about his nomination for governor at the \"Petersburg Convention.\" A handwritten note on the back of the letter by Juliet Hite Gallaher states that \"Papa rode horse back to Lexington to notify him of his election…exchanged horses.\" ","The papers include two letters from William H. Pope, Superintendent of the Maryland Line Confederate Soldiers Home regarding the condition of Captain John Lamar Briscoe, a Confederate veteran and brother to Amelia Frances Briscoe Gallaher. One 1884 letter is addressed to Briscoe's sister Mrs. J.B. Miller (Juliet B.) of Germantown, Maryland, and another written in 1900 is addressed to Mr. D.C. Gallaher in Charleston, West Virginia.","An 1887 letter from H.H. Stuart to a William W. Corcoran Esquire, chairman of the Joint Commission for the Completion of the Washington Monument, recommends that William Gallaher be appointed as a superintendent of the construction of the Washington Monument. Stuart writes that Gallaher has been a \"large contractor on various railroads and canals, and has had much experience, especially in the construction of masonry.\"","Other documents relate to the Elliot G. Fishburne Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Waynesboro. One 1910 letter is addressed to Juliet Hite Gallaher, Vice President of the Waynesboro Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, from Julian Pratt, of Grand Camp Confederate Veterans, Department of Virginia.

As such, this biographical note does not serve as an exhaustive rehashing of previous scholarship. Researchers are encouraged to review published secondary sources for additional information on the Henkel family.","The Henkel Family of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley descends from Rev. Paul Henkel (1754-1825) and Elizabeth Henkel (d. 1843). Siram Peter Henkel, who along with his immediate family is primarily documented in this collection, was the fifth child of Dr. Solomon Henkel (1777-1847) and Rebecca Miller Henkel (1780-1854) and grandson of Rev. Paul Henkel.","Siram was born March 16, 1809 in New Market, Virginia. In an attempt to follow in his father's footsteps, Siram attended, but did not complete, medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. He married Margaret Koiner (variously spelled Coiner) Henkel (1820-1899) of Augusta County, Virginia on June 30, 1835. The couple settled at \"The Plains\" – located between New Market and Timberville – in September 1835 and their thirteen children, many of whom are also documented in this collection, were born and raised there. Siram farmed various crops and also operated a store and mill at The Plains. The Plains Mill was erected between 1847 and 1849 under the direction of Siram and his father Solomon, prior to his death in August 1847.","During the American Civil War, two of Siram and Margeret's sons served for the Confederacy. Lewis Philip (1837-1904) served in the Ordance Department of the Confederate Army. Around 1863, Lewis became a member of Co. H (Valley Rangers) of the 10th Virginia Cavalry. Luther Melanchton (1841-1919) was also a member of the Confederate Army and wrote home to his father from various camps. Lewis and Luther's brother Samuel Augustus (1840-1885) was exempt from military duty due to medical reasons. He became epileptic after sustaining injuries from run-away horses in 1855.","In 1878, one year prior to Siram's death, he sketched the plans for a new house at Plains Mill. The house was built in 1882 and served as the residence for Siram's widow, Margaret, until her death in 1899. The aforementioned sketch and photographs of the completed house are found in this collection.","Heleah Margaret Henkel, daughter of Siram and Margaret Henkel, married William M. Renalds in 1893. Their family is heavily documented in the 2023 accession materials.","Material was property of a Henkel family descendant, presumably Mildred Renalds Wittig, great-granddaughter of Siram and Margaret Koiner Henkel.","Materials in the 2023-0329 accession, purchased from ZH Books, share provenance with the rest of the collection in that they descended through the Henkel family to Mildred Renalds Wittig before being sold at Jeffrey S.

The collection, chiefly documenting the Siram and Margaret Koiner Henkel line of the family, is comprised primarily of correspondence written to Siram P. Henkel and includes letters from his sons Lewis and Luther during their service in the American Civil War. The collection also includes personal and financial papers of various Henkel family members including Siram's children and genealogical research materials, much of which was used to inform Mildred Renalds Wittig's  Henkel – Renalds Connection: with Ancestral Scripts and Collections  (2014).","Series 1: Correspondence, 1827-1913, chiefly contains letters written to Siram P. Henkel with correspondents including members of the Koiner/Coiner family of Augusta County, the Miller family of Winchester, and the Rupert family of Augusta County. The correspondents report on family and community news, marriages, health and illnesses, deaths, weather, harvest and planting updates, crop yields, and include fellow merchants requesting advice on the market of certain goods and numerous requests for Dr. Henkel's pills. Of particular interest are the letters written to Siram by his sons Lewis and Luther while serving in the American Civil War. The sons, and Luther in particular, write about camp life and general updates related to the war. In a December 21, 1861 letter to his father, Lewis P. Henkel writes from Winchester and mentions General Stonewall Jackson. He also refers to General Gilbert S. Meem as \"Genl. Drunk.\"","This series also contains correspondence to/from other Henkel family members including Dr. Solomon Henkel, Samuel G. Henkel, Solomon D. Henkel, Maggie Henkel Renalds, Lillian Henkel, and Margaret Koiner Henkel.","The documentary record confirms that Margaret Koiner Henkel's family were enslavers and given the date of much of the correspondence, a portion relates to slavery and enslaved persons. Delia Koiner Overholt wrote to her sister Margaret Henkel on May 28, 1847 relaying the news of their grandfather's death. She goes on to write that \"eleven or twelve blacks are to be sold and a great deal of property.\" In a January 24, 1857 letter to Siram Henkel, Delia Koiner Overholt writes again to describe in detail describes the sale of enslaved persons from her grandfather's estate. A similarly noteworthy letter, dated August 13, 1835, was penned by Siram Henkel to his wife Margaret in which he describes a large \"drove\" of enslaved persons that passed through the Valley. He describes the scene as follows: \"There were eighty-four chained together to one long chain; there were also a great many women and children that were also in company; the whole number of men, women \u0026 children was two hundred and forty.\" There are two original copies of this letter in the collection.","All correspondence addressed to Dr. Solomon Henkel and/or Solomon Henkel P.M. is filed with Solomon Henkel (1777-1847), who was a practicing physician and served as Shenandoah County's first postmaster. A concerted effort was made on behalf of the archivist to not confuse his papers with those of his son Solomon David Henkel (1815-1872).","Much of the correspondence includes envelopes or address leaves. The correspondence is arranged primarily by recipient, but in cases where the recipient is unknown (e.g. non-specific salutations and greetings or lack of return address), the correspondence is filed with miscellaneous correspondence. Some of the letters have non-original annotations on the address leaves relating to content or the correspondents.","Series 2: Personal Papers, 1801-1881, includes miscellaneous papers from the immediate family of Siram Henkel. School papers and writing assignements from Siram and Margaret Henkel's children, Lewis, Samuel, Julia, Martin, and Maggie are included. The documents include a January 17, 1881 essay on politeness written by Maggie Henkel.","The series also includes a manuscript music book penned by Siram's mother, Rebecca Miller Henkel, a grammar copybook belonging to Siram's brother Slyvanus Henkel, and Siram's 1878 plans for his family's new home place at Plains Mill.","Series 3: Financial Files, 1832-1894, contains receipts, ledger pages, and promissory notes. Included in Siram Henkel's financial papers is a form of the estimate and assessment of agricultural products to be taxed by the government of the Confederate States. Of particular interest is Paul P. Henkel's 1844-1872 daybook entitled \"Sawmill Book No. 3\" documenting the sawmill owned by Solomon Henkel. The daybook records prices for sawing and details sawing activities. Elizabeth Garber Renalds' account book and journal documents egg business and other farming and day-to-day activities while the family was living at the Lincoln Homestead on Linville Creek south of Broadway.","Series 4: Genealogy and Research Files, 1890-2008, is comprised of research material, much of which was used to inform Mildred Renalds Wittig's  Henkel – Renalds Connection: with Ancestral Scripts and Collections  (2014). Documents include family trees, facsimiles of correspondence and manuscript material not otherwise found in this collection, photographs of Henkel family members and properties including Plains Mill and the Plains School, newspaper clippings, Henkel family reunion materials, and blank postcards. An oversize reproduction of a blank family register printed by Ambrose Henkel \u0026 Comp. is included.","Series 5: 2023-0329 Accession, 1864-1923, includes Henkel family correspondence, Renalds family correspondence, and letters written to Ray Renalds while he was admitted to Rockingham Memorial Hospital in 1923 for an undisclosed illness.","School materials were created by Lillian Henkel while a student at the Shenandoah Institute in Dayton and Harry S. Henkel while a student at Dunsmore Business College in Staunton. Coursework created by Ray Renalds while a student at Shenandoah Luthern Institute is included.","Front covers of bound volumes are inscribed \"Lillian M.

The collection, chiefly documenting the Siram and Margaret Koiner Henkel line of the family, is comprised primarily of correspondence written to Siram P. Henkel and includes letters from his sons Lewis and Luther during their service in the American Civil War. The collection also includes personal and financial papers of various Henkel family members including Siram's children and genealogical research materials, much of which was used to inform Mildred Renalds Wittig's  Henkel – Renalds Connection: with Ancestral Scripts and Collections  (2014).","Series 1: Correspondence, 1827-1913, chiefly contains letters written to Siram P. Henkel with correspondents including members of the Koiner/Coiner family of Augusta County, the Miller family of Winchester, and the Rupert family of Augusta County. The correspondents report on family and community news, marriages, health and illnesses, deaths, weather, harvest and planting updates, crop yields, and include fellow merchants requesting advice on the market of certain goods and numerous requests for Dr. Henkel's pills. Of particular interest are the letters written to Siram by his sons Lewis and Luther while serving in the American Civil War. The sons, and Luther in particular, write about camp life and general updates related to the war. In a December 21, 1861 letter to his father, Lewis P. Henkel writes from Winchester and mentions General Stonewall Jackson. He also refers to General Gilbert S. Meem as \"Genl. Drunk.\"","This series also contains correspondence to/from other Henkel family members including Dr. Solomon Henkel, Samuel G. Henkel, Solomon D. Henkel, Maggie Henkel Renalds, Lillian Henkel, and Margaret Koiner Henkel.","The documentary record confirms that Margaret Koiner Henkel's family were enslavers and given the date of much of the correspondence, a portion relates to slavery and enslaved persons. Delia Koiner Overholt wrote to her sister Margaret Henkel on May 28, 1847 relaying the news of their grandfather's death. She goes on to write that \"eleven or twelve blacks are to be sold and a great deal of property.\" In a January 24, 1857 letter to Siram Henkel, Delia Koiner Overholt writes again to describe in detail describes the sale of enslaved persons from her grandfather's estate. A similarly noteworthy letter, dated August 13, 1835, was penned by Siram Henkel to his wife Margaret in which he describes a large \"drove\" of enslaved persons that passed through the Valley. He describes the scene as follows: \"There were eighty-four chained together to one long chain; there were also a great many women and children that were also in company; the whole number of men, women \u0026 children was two hundred and forty.\" There are two original copies of this letter in the collection.","All correspondence addressed to Dr. Solomon Henkel and/or Solomon Henkel P.M. is filed with Solomon Henkel (1777-1847), who was a practicing physician and served as Shenandoah County's first postmaster. A concerted effort was made on behalf of the archivist to not confuse his papers with those of his son Solomon David Henkel (1815-1872).","Much of the correspondence includes envelopes or address leaves. The correspondence is arranged primarily by recipient, but in cases where the recipient is unknown (e.g. non-specific salutations and greetings or lack of return address), the correspondence is filed with miscellaneous correspondence. Some of the letters have non-original annotations on the address leaves relating to content or the correspondents.","Series 2: Personal Papers, 1801-1881, includes miscellaneous papers from the immediate family of Siram Henkel. School papers and writing assignements from Siram and Margaret Henkel's children, Lewis, Samuel, Julia, Martin, and Maggie are included. The documents include a January 17, 1881 essay on politeness written by Maggie Henkel.","The series also includes a manuscript music book penned by Siram's mother, Rebecca Miller Henkel, a grammar copybook belonging to Siram's brother Slyvanus Henkel, and Siram's 1878 plans for his family's new home place at Plains Mill.","Series 3: Financial Files, 1832-1894, contains receipts, ledger pages, and promissory notes. Included in Siram Henkel's financial papers is a form of the estimate and assessment of agricultural products to be taxed by the government of the Confederate States. Of particular interest is Paul P. Henkel's 1844-1872 daybook entitled \"Sawmill Book No. 3\" documenting the sawmill owned by Solomon Henkel. The daybook records prices for sawing and details sawing activities. Elizabeth Garber Renalds' account book and journal documents egg business and other farming and day-to-day activities while the family was living at the Lincoln Homestead on Linville Creek south of Broadway.","Series 4: Genealogy and Research Files, 1890-2008, is comprised of research material, much of which was used to inform Mildred Renalds Wittig's  Henkel – Renalds Connection: with Ancestral Scripts and Collections  (2014). Documents include family trees, facsimiles of correspondence and manuscript material not otherwise found in this collection, photographs of Henkel family members and properties including Plains Mill and the Plains School, newspaper clippings, Henkel family reunion materials, and blank postcards. An oversize reproduction of a blank family register printed by Ambrose Henkel \u0026 Comp. is included.","Series 5: 2023-0329 Accession, 1864-1923, includes Henkel family correspondence, Renalds family correspondence, and letters written to Ray Renalds while he was admitted to Rockingham Memorial Hospital in 1923 for an undisclosed illness.","School materials were created by Lillian Henkel while a student at the Shenandoah Institute in Dayton and Harry S.

Researchers are encouraged to review published secondary sources for additional information on the Henkel family.","The Henkel Family of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley descends from Rev. Paul Henkel (1754-1825) and Elizabeth Henkel (d. 1843). Siram Peter Henkel, who along with his immediate family is primarily documented in this collection, was the fifth child of Dr. Solomon Henkel (1777-1847) and Rebecca Miller Henkel (1780-1854) and grandson of Rev. Paul Henkel.","Siram was born March 16, 1809 in New Market, Virginia. In an attempt to follow in his father's footsteps, Siram attended, but did not complete, medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. He married Margaret Koiner (variously spelled Coiner) Henkel (1820-1899) of Augusta County, Virginia on June 30, 1835. The couple settled at \"The Plains\" – located between New Market and Timberville – in September 1835 and their thirteen children, many of whom are also documented in this collection, were born and raised there. Siram farmed various crops and also operated a store and mill at The Plains. The Plains Mill was erected between 1847 and 1849 under the direction of Siram and his father Solomon, prior to his death in August 1847.","During the American Civil War, two of Siram and Margeret's sons served for the Confederacy. Lewis Philip (1837-1904) served in the Ordance Department of the Confederate Army. Around 1863, Lewis became a member of Co. H (Valley Rangers) of the 10th Virginia Cavalry. Luther Melanchton (1841-1919) was also a member of the Confederate Army and wrote home to his father from various camps. Lewis and Luther's brother Samuel Augustus (1840-1885) was exempt from military duty due to medical reasons. He became epileptic after sustaining injuries from run-away horses in 1855.","In 1878, one year prior to Siram's death, he sketched the plans for a new house at Plains Mill. The house was built in 1882 and served as the residence for Siram's widow, Margaret, until her death in 1899. The aforementioned sketch and photographs of the completed house are found in this collection.","Heleah Margaret Henkel, daughter of Siram and Margaret Henkel, married William M. Renalds in 1893.

The correspondence is arranged primarily by recipient, but in cases where the recipient is unknown (e.g. non-specific salutations and greetings or lack of return address), the correspondence is filed with miscellaneous correspondence. Some of the letters have non-original annotations on the address leaves relating to content or the correspondents.","Series 2: Personal Papers, 1801-1881, includes miscellaneous papers from the immediate family of Siram Henkel. School papers and writing assignements from Siram and Margaret Henkel's children, Lewis, Samuel, Julia, Martin, and Maggie are included. The documents include a January 17, 1881 essay on politeness written by Maggie Henkel.","The series also includes a manuscript music book penned by Siram's mother, Rebecca Miller Henkel, a grammar copybook belonging to Siram's brother Slyvanus Henkel, and Siram's 1878 plans for his family's new home place at Plains Mill.","Series 3: Financial Files, 1832-1894, contains receipts, ledger pages, and promissory notes. Included in Siram Henkel's financial papers is a form of the estimate and assessment of agricultural products to be taxed by the government of the Confederate States. Of particular interest is Paul P. Henkel's 1844-1872 daybook entitled \"Sawmill Book No. 3\" documenting the sawmill owned by Solomon Henkel. The daybook records prices for sawing and details sawing activities. Elizabeth Garber Renalds' account book and journal documents egg business and other farming and day-to-day activities while the family was living at the Lincoln Homestead on Linville Creek south of Broadway.","Series 4: Genealogy and Research Files, 1890-2008, is comprised of research material, much of which was used to inform Mildred Renalds Wittig's  Henkel – Renalds Connection: with Ancestral Scripts and Collections  (2014). Documents include family trees, facsimiles of correspondence and manuscript material not otherwise found in this collection, photographs of Henkel family members and properties including Plains Mill and the Plains School, newspaper clippings, Henkel family reunion materials, and blank postcards. An oversize reproduction of a blank family register printed by Ambrose Henkel \u0026 Comp. is included.","Series 5: 2023-0329 Accession, 1864-1923, includes Henkel family correspondence, Renalds family correspondence, and letters written to Ray Renalds while he was admitted to Rockingham Memorial Hospital in 1923 for an undisclosed illness.","School materials were created by Lillian Henkel while a student at the Shenandoah Institute in Dayton and Harry S. Henkel while a student at Dunsmore Business College in Staunton. Coursework created by Ray Renalds while a student at Shenandoah Luthern Institute is included.","Front covers of bound volumes are inscribed \"Lillian M. Henkel, Shenandoah Institute, Sept. 20, 1900\"","Tuition for Ray and Richard Renalds."],"separatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eSeveral issues of serials including the \u003cemph render=\"italic\"\u003eLutheran Church Visitor\u003c/emph\u003e and the \u003cemph render=\"italic\"\u003eSouthern Churchman\u003c/emph\u003e have been removed from the collection and cataloged as part of Special Collections' rare book collection.

Rupp (1834-1908) was a German-born frescoer, plain and ornamental painter, and paperhanger from New Market, Virginia. While a youth in Germany, Rupp attended design school. He immigrated from Heilbronn, Germany and arrived in New York on July 17, 1854. Rupp resided in Luray for approximately one year and moved to New Market permanently in July 1855. He married Mary Catherine Spitzer (1837-1900) in 1862. Her father, Charles Spitzer, was a New Market gunsmith. In 1866, Rupp purchased what is now known as the Spitzer-Rupp House (located at 9295 Congress Street, New Market) from members of the Spitzer family. William and Mary Rupp had three sons, Charles E. (1863-1930), William \"Willie\" H. (1866-1925), and Joseph H. (1869-1923), all of whom are documented in the collection. While William F. Rupp worked primarily in the Shenandoah Valley, documentary evidence confirms that he also frescoed and painted in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. His fresco painting included churches, public buildings, and private residences, some of which are still extant.","Many members of the immediate and extended Rupp family are buried in New Market's St. Matthew's Cemetery.","Researchers should reference the \"Rupp family obituaries\" file for additional and more complete biographical information.","The materials descended through the Fritz and Loretta Orebaugh family of New Market, Virginia. Fritz's mother, Mary Rupp Orebaugh, was the granddaughter of William F. Rupp.","Papers were removed from non-archival document sleeves. Several leather document cases were discarded due to lack of research value and overall condition.","Charles E. Rupp. Papers, 1869-1942. Accession 36719, Personal papers collection, The Library of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia.","The collection documents the Rupp family of New Market, Virginia and includes correspondence, photographs, financial documents, account books, legal documents, and pencil drawings.","Most notably, the collection documents the work of William F. Rupp, a German-born frescoer, plain and ornamental painter, and paperhanger from New Market, Virginia. Rupp's account books list the name and place of buildings he painted, frescoed, and wallpapered including frescoing Rader's Lutheran Church in Timberville and the Shenandoah County Courthouse courtroom in Woodstock. Bound accounts also document his work painting signs and gilding. One book is devoted to Rupp's sketches, including a birds-eye view of Luray, Virginia, but his pencil drawings are also scattered throughout the bound account books.","The collection also comprises photographs, financial documents, tax receipts, correspondence, and photographs related to William Rupp's immediate family including his wife Mary; sons Charles E., William \"Willie\" H., and Joseph H. Rupp, wife Rose, and their daughter Mary E., as well as others.","Series 1: Personal Papers, 1831-1940, includes correspondence, financial and legal documents, account books, and pencil drawings and sketches. The materials primarily document William F. Rupp and his immediate family. Documents also relate to the Spitzer family.","Of note are the materials documenting William F. Rupp's profession as a fresco painter and paperhanger. These materials include business letterhead, account books, sketches, his apprentice certificate, and invoices and financial records. Rupp's sketchbook includes a bird's-eye view of Luray, Virginia that is featured in the Shenandoah Valley Folklore Society's publication  Folk and Decorative Art of the Shenandoah Valley , pg. 16, fig. 220. Rupp's account book dated 1867-1930 records the work he did for private individuals as well as work in public buildings. These include Rader's Lutheran Church in Timberville, the Shenandoah County Court House court room, the Methodist Church in Edinburg, the United Brethren Church in Hawkinstown, the New Market Bank of Virginia, and many others. An 1856 document outlines Rupp's plan for providing drawing lessons to the pupils at the New Market Female Seminary and associated charges.","Additional William F. Rupp materials include his 1858 citizenship certificate, two 1866 deeds documenting the purchase of his New Market house (now known as the Spitzer-Rupp House) from the Spitzer family, and his July 1865 oath of allegiance to the United States. Correspondence from R.C. Rupp, William's brother in New York, is written in German.","In addition to bound accounts, the financial documents primarily comprise annual tax receipts.","Charles E. Rupp's diary documents a trip from New Market to the Pacific coast and back with his three companions.","Includes bird's-eye view of Luray, Virginia, other scenes, people, and many fresco designs. The sketch of Luray is featured in the Shenandoah Valley Folklore Society's  Folk and Decorative Art of the Shenandoah Valley , pg. 16, fig. 220.","Series 2: Photographs, 1840-1973, comprises photographs, cabinet cards, and a framed daguerreotype and ambrotype of the immediate William F. Rupp family. The photographs are largely identified with a subset of unidentified photographs grouped together. Images of Joseph H. and Rose Neff Rupp comprise the bulk of the photographs with several images featuring people posing with an obelisk-style Confederate memorial. More modern photographs document fresco works attributed to William F. Rupp and include a painted ceiling in the Charles Price home near Stanley, Virginia.","Two printed volumes were separated and cataloged individually.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

One book is devoted to Rupp's sketches, including a birds-eye view of Luray, Virginia, but his pencil drawings are also scattered throughout the bound account books.","The collection also comprises photographs, financial documents, tax receipts, correspondence, and photographs related to William Rupp's immediate family including his wife Mary; sons Charles E., William \"Willie\" H., and Joseph H. Rupp, wife Rose, and their daughter Mary E., as well as others.","Series 1: Personal Papers, 1831-1940, includes correspondence, financial and legal documents, account books, and pencil drawings and sketches. The materials primarily document William F. Rupp and his immediate family. Documents also relate to the Spitzer family.","Of note are the materials documenting William F. Rupp's profession as a fresco painter and paperhanger. These materials include business letterhead, account books, sketches, his apprentice certificate, and invoices and financial records. Rupp's sketchbook includes a bird's-eye view of Luray, Virginia that is featured in the Shenandoah Valley Folklore Society's publication  Folk and Decorative Art of the Shenandoah Valley , pg. 16, fig. 220. Rupp's account book dated 1867-1930 records the work he did for private individuals as well as work in public buildings. These include Rader's Lutheran Church in Timberville, the Shenandoah County Court House court room, the Methodist Church in Edinburg, the United Brethren Church in Hawkinstown, the New Market Bank of Virginia, and many others. An 1856 document outlines Rupp's plan for providing drawing lessons to the pupils at the New Market Female Seminary and associated charges.","Additional William F. Rupp materials include his 1858 citizenship certificate, two 1866 deeds documenting the purchase of his New Market house (now known as the Spitzer-Rupp House) from the Spitzer family, and his July 1865 oath of allegiance to the United States. Correspondence from R.C. Rupp, William's brother in New York, is written in German.","In addition to bound accounts, the financial documents primarily comprise annual tax receipts.","Charles E. Rupp's diary documents a trip from New Market to the Pacific coast and back with his three companions.","Includes bird's-eye view of Luray, Virginia, other scenes, people, and many fresco designs. The sketch of Luray is featured in the Shenandoah Valley Folklore Society's  Folk and Decorative Art of the Shenandoah Valley , pg. 16, fig. 220.","Series 2: Photographs, 1840-1973, comprises photographs, cabinet cards, and a framed daguerreotype and ambrotype of the immediate William F. Rupp family. The photographs are largely identified with a subset of unidentified photographs grouped together. Images of Joseph H. and Rose Neff Rupp comprise the bulk of the photographs with several images featuring people posing with an obelisk-style Confederate memorial. More modern photographs document fresco works attributed to William F. Rupp and include a painted ceiling in the Charles Price home near Stanley, Virginia."],"separatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eTwo printed volumes were separated and cataloged individually.\u003c/p\u003e"],"separatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Separated Materials"],"separatedmaterial_tesim":["Two printed volumes were separated and cataloged individually."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.
