Mary Rupert was the daughter of Civil War veteran Daniel Rupert, a Federal artillerist assigned to defend Washington, D.C. during the war. The Greens eventually moved their young family to Foxburg, Pennsylvania on the Allegheny River. Their son James worked in the oil fields of Bradford, Pennsylvania as a teenager until he left for Pleasants County, West Virginia, drawn by the oil boom of 1898.","James E. Green married Edith Sarah Taylor in 1901. Edith was a native of St. Mary's, West Virginia and the daughter of Thomas Jefferson Taylor, owner of Orchard View Farms. James bought his first camera in 1900 and began photographing people and points of interest in the area. His favorite subjects were his family, which grew with the birth of four children, including James, Virginia, Jeanette, and Gladys. The economic depression of 1907-08 sent James and Edith Green back to Foxburg where James worked in a saw mill, but continued with photography.","James and Edith eventually moved back to West Virginia in the 1920s, this time to Edam in Tucker County where James continued working in a saw mill until it burned down in 1930. He spent the rest of his life farming until passing away in 1952. Photography seemed to be the one consistent and most enjoyable occupation of James Edwin Green's life.","Photographs by James Edwin Green of the Green family from western Pennsylvania, and Pleasants County, West Virginia, and related subjects. Includes over 500 glass plate negatives and 1 1/2 inches of film negatives documenting subjects from ca. 1900-1925 including: the James Edwin Green family of western Pennsylvania and Pleasants County, West Virginia; Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) reunions; Foxburg, Pennsylvania in ca. 1910-1920; agricultural subjects; brass bands; oil or gas derricks in Pleasants County or western Pennsylvania; railroads; St. Marys, West Virginia; and World War I (WWI). Also includes exemplars of commercial packaging of glass plate negatives and film negatives.","Many of his subjects include his wife, Edith Taylor Green, their children, James, Jr., Virginia, Jeanette, and Gladys. Other subjects include his parents, Thomas Bennett Green and Mary Rupert Green, and his siblings and in-laws. There are also pictures of the Daniel Rupert and Taylor familes. James Edwin Green's wife, Edith, was a member of the Taylor family of Pleasants County, West Virginia, whose farm is recorded in some of the images. Most of these photographs were taken outside their homes or in local settings.","Green also documented with his camera the 1909 Reunion of the 101st and 103rd Pennsylvania Regiments of the Grand Army of the Republic at Foxburg, Pennsylvania. These Pennsylvania regiments fought in the Civil War under General George McClellan in the 1862 Peninsula Campaign and the 'Seven Days Battle' for Richmond.","Item nos. 401-436 are apparently a systematic documentation of the town of Foxburg, Pennsylvania at some time between 1910 and 1920. There are images of the bank, barber shop, blacksmith, drug store, hotel, post office, etc. Other subjects includes street scenes, transportation, and portraits of residents.","Green also took pictures of 4th of July events, agricultural subjects (such as harvesting, livestock, etc.), brass bands, greeting card portraits with inscriptions, oil or gas derricks in Pleasants County or western Pennsylvania, railroad infrastructure in western Pennsylvania (images which apparently include family members who worked for the railroads), and St. Marys, West Virginia. The film negatives document James Edwin Green, Jr., as a soldier in World War I (WWI) and his time at Penn State College in the 1920s.","Green sometimes recorded subjects and dates to his glass plates. Some of the plates without such inscriptions were identified by the donor at the time of their acquisition; this data was recorded to the folders that the plates were placed in, and these folders have been retained in the collection.","In many cases photocopies of prints (made from the plates) were made to facilitate recording of detailed identification of multiple subjects in an image, often of people. This information can be found in the collection in box 15, folders 16a - 16d.","The collection also includes exemplars of commercial packaging of glass plate negatives and film negatives.","This series consists of over 500 glass plate negatives taken in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Subjects include the 1909 Reunion of the 101st and 103rd Pennsylvania Regiments of the Grand Army of the Republic, members of the extended Green, Rupert, and Taylor families, community events, and more.","This series consists of film negatives documenting James Edwin Green, Jr.'s career as a soldier in World War I (WWI) and his time at Penn State College in the 1920s.","This series consists of photocopies of prints made to facilitate recording of detailed identification of multiple subjects in an image, a Green family genealogy, and other related material.","This series consists of photographic prints made from the plates to facilitate recording of detailed identification of multiple subjects in an image, often of people.","This series consists of exemplars of commercial packaging of glass plate negatives and film negatives.","Permission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.

This is the partnership's first ledger, which spans the years 1835-1837, but reference is made to the transfer of accounts to at least one subsequent ledger. The business appears to have been located near the Ohio River (probably in Sistersville), since customers included Ohio as well as Tyler County citizens. Although the debit side for each customer only lists the term \"merchandise\" for purchases, the ledger reveals the barter nature of much of the rural economy of Tyler County on the credit side. Among items received in trade by Thistle and Cox were chestnuts, hides, bees wax, rags, sand, tobacco, clothes, meats, produce, and various forms of labor. The ledger also frequently lists the occupations or residences of many of the customers. Included were coopers, tanners, blacksmiths, preachers, schoolteachers, and carpenters, scattered from Point Pleasant to Wheeling.","Inventory and Book Accounts. This volume contains a 66-page inventory of goods on hand and their prices in a Tyler County general store in January 1877. The inventory is divided into the following categories: fancy groceries, groceries, men's shoes, ladies' shoes, children's shoes, overshoes, dress goods, wall paper, housewares, and other. Starting on page 71 is a four-page list of the book accounts of the store's customers, presumably on that same date.","The Cordray Carriage Company was a short-lived business in Fairmont, WV. The ledger lists only the customers and the amount they owed T.L. Cordray, the proprietor of the Carriage Company. The ledger does not list the services for which the customers were charged. However, one itemized account invoice on an inserted piece of paper suggests that the Cordray Carriage Company repaired vehicles. For H.O. Amos, from 1907 through 1911, the Company repaired couplings, repaired and painted the body, repaired the interior, raised the body, and tightened and repaired the fenders, for a total charge of $118. The ledger includes more than 400 customers.","A. H. Breckstein was a Jewish merchant who operated a clothing store in the boom town of Richwood, in Nicholas County. Volume 10 is a cash book detailing daily transactions in the store, both sales and expenses, for part of 1910, and consistently for the period 1928 to 1936. There are also monthly accountings of both cash and credit sales as well as expenses. Volume 11 documents sales and purchases of clothing for the period 1926 to 1934. The sales portion of this volume repeats information available in volume 10. Volume 12 is a ledger of accounts payable for the period 1921-1928, showing the firms from which Breckstein purchased his goods. Included are companies in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and New York.","J.C. Shock was a Methodist minister assigned to a parish in Pullman, WV in 1910. However, he also appeared to be an itinerant preacher, and his account book lists ministerial services provided for the towns and villages of Duffy, Straight Fork, Falls Mill, Glady, and Kingknob, in the north-central West Virginia counties of Lewis, Ritchie, and Wetzel. The account book documents Shock's ministry, listing the text for sermons preached at various towns as well as the contributions of those towns to his salary. Most of the entries cover the years 1910-1917, at which time his base of operations seems to have shifted permanently to Falls Run and Falls Mill in Braxton County. There are entries for sermons, marriages, and assessments for those towns running to 1938. An additional folder contains miscellaneous documents related to Shock found within the ledger.","In the 1890s, Mrs. Samuel C. Gans operated a general store in Moundsville, which by 1900 was specializing in dry goods. This ledger reflects the volume of business and the timing and means of settling accounts. The early pages (for the 1890s) are more detailed, listing the items purchased from the general store. For the later period, the entries are frequently limited to the terms \"goods\" or \"merchandise.\" The back of the volume also contains some notes and miscellaneous accounts, such as rooms rented.","In 1892, a number of Charleston's German families banded together to form an Evangelical Lutheran Church. Subscriptions for a building fund and other church work began to be collected in October of that year. This ledger documents the subscriptions of the founding members of St. Paul's Evangelical Church. It also provides an accounting of the expenses and building funds contributed by the members, including the purchase of a lot on Court Street in Charleston, the church's construction, and the salary of the minister.","These volumes were written by Albert S. Hayden, Notary Public in and for the county of Marion and the state of West Virginia. He recorded handwritten copies of promissory notes and bills presented at Fairmont, WV banks for redemption, which were protested by the First National Bank of Fairmont's cashier. The ledgers also list the date protested, by whom, and the notices mailed to note signers. Most notes originated in West Virginia, but some originated in Ohio. Volume 16a covers 1870-1873. Volume 16b covers 1875-1876.","Anthony Zidn operated a grocery and dry goods store outside of Fairmont on RFD #2. Zidn was an immigrant from the Middle East (perhaps Armenia, as suggested by the fact he kept his accounts in Persian and had a Christian name). These three ledgers document his business, although most of the information is written in Persian.","The Price Brothers operated a general store in the small village of Amos on the Paw Paw Creek, eleven miles from the town of Fairmont in Marion County. The Price Brothers sold all sorts of groceries to people in the town, as documented by this ledger. In addition, the Polk business directory for 1902-1903 notes that the Price sisters operated a millinery business in Amos. There are loose papers within the ledger, including statements and product advertisements (1905-1907, undated).","At the turn of the century, there were four wholesale meat provisioners in Wheeling. This ledger represents the operations of one of them for the years 1901-1902. The company principally supplied general stores and grocers in eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia, southwestern Pennsylvania, and western Maryland. However, individuals could also buy directly. Entries typically include the name of the purchaser, the town in which the purchaser resides, and the amount of the purchase. For local buyers, the ledger frequently lists the Wheeling address. Since transactions are usually noted only as merchandise, it is impossible to glean what types of meats were being purchased at what costs.","Jacob Hornbrook was born in Tavistock, England, in 1812 and moved with his parents to Wheeling when he was a small child. Jacob's father ran a small [business?] in Wheeling. As a young man, Jacob began a mercantile business buying and selling produce on the flatboats travelling on the Ohio River. He later started a notions store, purchased interest in a steamship line and the First National Bank, and was president and owned stock in the Wheeling Gas Company. These three books, a journal (volume 20; 1847-1874), a ledger (volume 21; 1847-1874), and a cash book (volume 22; 1845-1874), document his business interests, investments, and personal expenses during the last three decades of his life. Although he remained an active investor, Hornbrook retired from his mercantile business in 1855 with an estate valued at more than $30,000. In 1852, he moved to what he called \"Forest Home\" near Wheeling Park, and he served in the West Virginia legislature during the Civil War.","This volume includes a manuscript copy of the act \"To incorporate the Wheeling Gas Company\" issued March 18, 1850; a copy of a related Wheeling city ordinance, issued April 29, 1850; stockholders meeting minutes, April 15, April 25, May 1, May 9, and May 11, 1850; and lists of subscribers, the number of shares of stock, and the amount paid.","George C. Gans was a physician practicing in Marshall County in the decades prior to the Civil War. Although most of his patients resided in the area around Moundsville and Elizabeth, Gans does not appear in either the 1840 or the 1850 U.S. census schedules for Marshall County. The ledger documents his treatment of families in Marshall County for a wide variety of ills, including typhoid fever (1861), cholera (1847), and farm injuries. Gans also routinely attended childbirths. His treatments included blistering, bleeding, venesection, lancing, and operating as well as administering medicine and pills. In return for his services, Gans routinely accepted farm produce, labor on his farm, and other useful items such as shingles. He went on to serve as an assistant surgeon in the Civil War.","This is a ledger of an Elizabeth, PA, glass manufacturer's accounts with his workers. The manufacturer ran some type of company store, and the ledger thus includes debits for cash and merchandise received by the workers and credits for the various types of labor performed, including glass blowing, teasing, cutting, coal mining, blacksmithing, and box making. In addition, the ledger includes the manufacturer's accounts with a boarding house owner for boarding his workers and with a local merchant who supplied the company store. In general, the ledger provides insights into the earnings of mid-19th century artisans as well as the operation of a small, rural glass-making establishment.","This consignment book documents commodity prices and the wide variety of goods received by a Wheeling commission merchant house during the 1830s. It also provides insights into the local industrial development, since the commission merchants routinely received goods on consignment from local manufacturers, such as the German Manufacturing Company (textiles). At the beginning of the book, there is evidence that the firm engaged a peddler to make trips in 1830, and the commission house also conducted auctions during the 1830s.","Moses Chapline was a prominent citizen in Wheeling, at various times an attorney, a general store owner, and in the 1830s, mayor. This daybook documents the daily trade at his store during 1845. Included are entries for purchases of a wide variety of goods as well as entries for store expenses, such as insurance, soap, and transportation. The A. Loring who appears frequently throughout was probably Alonzo Loring, a clerk at the store.","Harry Hood and Company was a retail meat and dairy market in Fairmont, WV. This ledger covers the last few months of 1906 and the first months of 1907. It documents purchases of meat from wholesale producers, such as Armour and Company, and sales of meat to local businesses and individuals in Fairmont. Transactions are typically listed only as \"merchandise,\" making it difficult to glean any information concerning prices or consumption patterns. The ledger is used only for the first 150 of its 500 pages, and the business does not appear in the Polk business directory of 1906-1907, suggesting the possibility that it folded some time in 1907.","This ledger documents a general store in Tyler County, probably near Middlebourne, the county seat. Although fairly routine entries characterize customer purchases, the volume also documents purchases from wholesale merchants, beginning on page 251. Included are such firms as Hubbard and Paull, and Jos. Speidel, both of Wheeling; Ed Roome of Sistersville; and Burgunder Brothers and Company, of Columbus, Ohio. Also, the ledger often lists the occupations of the store's customers. Included are John Gates, an oil rig builder (reflecting the emergence of the local oil business) and a number of customers connected to a local woolen mill.","John Gallaher, Christian Ansbrutz, and Caleb Bleakmor started a general store partnership in 1853. Prior to that date, Gallaher operated a store in Moundsville, which is documented in the first 90 pages of the daybook. The daybook follows the partnership for only six months (until September 1853), but then another Moundsville general store (involving Bleakmor) used the daybook during 1856. In the 1850 census, Bleakmor was listed as a constable, age 49, born in Maryland; and Ansbrutz was listed as a miller, age 47, born in France, worth $23,000. Only Gallaher, a 53-year-old Irishman worth $12,000, was listed as a merchant. From the evidence in the daybook, it appears that the partnership was short-lived.","This series includes ephemera, sheet music, booklets, pamphlets, and correspondence.

This is the partnership's first ledger, which spans the years 1835-1837, but reference is made to the transfer of accounts to at least one subsequent ledger. The business appears to have been located near the Ohio River (probably in Sistersville), since customers included Ohio as well as Tyler County citizens. Although the debit side for each customer only lists the term \"merchandise\" for purchases, the ledger reveals the barter nature of much of the rural economy of Tyler County on the credit side. Among items received in trade by Thistle and Cox were chestnuts, hides, bees wax, rags, sand, tobacco, clothes, meats, produce, and various forms of labor.

However, one itemized account invoice on an inserted piece of paper suggests that the Cordray Carriage Company repaired vehicles. For H.O. Amos, from 1907 through 1911, the Company repaired couplings, repaired and painted the body, repaired the interior, raised the body, and tightened and repaired the fenders, for a total charge of $118.

The early pages (for the 1890s) are more detailed, listing the items purchased from the general store. For the later period, the entries are frequently limited to the terms \"goods\" or \"merchandise.\" The back of the volume also contains some notes and miscellaneous accounts, such as rooms rented.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn 1892, a number of Charleston's German families banded together to form an Evangelical Lutheran Church.

It also provides an accounting of the expenses and building funds contributed by the members, including the purchase of a lot on Court Street in Charleston, the church's construction, and the salary of the minister.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThese volumes were written by Albert S. Hayden, Notary Public in and for the county of Marion and the state of West Virginia. He recorded handwritten copies of promissory notes and bills presented at Fairmont, WV banks for redemption, which were protested by the First National Bank of Fairmont's cashier. The ledgers also list the date protested, by whom, and the notices mailed to note signers. Most notes originated in West Virginia, but some originated in Ohio. Volume 16a covers 1870-1873. Volume 16b covers 1875-1876.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAnthony Zidn operated a grocery and dry goods store outside of Fairmont on RFD #2. Zidn was an immigrant from the Middle East (perhaps Armenia, as suggested by the fact he kept his accounts in Persian and had a Christian name). These three ledgers document his business, although most of the information is written in Persian.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Price Brothers operated a general store in the small village of Amos on the Paw Paw Creek, eleven miles from the town of Fairmont in Marion County. The Price Brothers sold all sorts of groceries to people in the town, as documented by this ledger. In addition, the Polk business directory for 1902-1903 notes that the Price sisters operated a millinery business in Amos. There are loose papers within the ledger, including statements and product advertisements (1905-1907, undated).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAt the turn of the century, there were four wholesale meat provisioners in Wheeling. This ledger represents the operations of one of them for the years 1901-1902. The company principally supplied general stores and grocers in eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia, southwestern Pennsylvania, and western Maryland. However, individuals could also buy directly. Entries typically include the name of the purchaser, the town in which the purchaser resides, and the amount of the purchase. For local buyers, the ledger frequently lists the Wheeling address. Since transactions are usually noted only as merchandise, it is impossible to glean what types of meats were being purchased at what costs.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eJacob Hornbrook was born in Tavistock, England, in 1812 and moved with his parents to Wheeling when he was a small child. Jacob's father ran a small [business?] in Wheeling. As a young man, Jacob began a mercantile business buying and selling produce on the flatboats travelling on the Ohio River. He later started a notions store, purchased interest in a steamship line and the First National Bank, and was president and owned stock in the Wheeling Gas Company. These three books, a journal (volume 20; 1847-1874), a ledger (volume 21; 1847-1874), and a cash book (volume 22; 1845-1874), document his business interests, investments, and personal expenses during the last three decades of his life. Although he remained an active investor, Hornbrook retired from his mercantile business in 1855 with an estate valued at more than $30,000. In 1852, he moved to what he called \"Forest Home\" near Wheeling Park, and he served in the West Virginia legislature during the Civil War.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis volume includes a manuscript copy of the act \"To incorporate the Wheeling Gas Company\" issued March 18, 1850; a copy of a related Wheeling city ordinance, issued April 29, 1850; stockholders meeting minutes, April 15, April 25, May 1, May 9, and May 11, 1850; and lists of subscribers, the number of shares of stock, and the amount paid.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eGeorge C. Gans was a physician practicing in Marshall County in the decades prior to the Civil War. Although most of his patients resided in the area around Moundsville and Elizabeth, Gans does not appear in either the 1840 or the 1850 U.S. census schedules for Marshall County. The ledger documents his treatment of families in Marshall County for a wide variety of ills, including typhoid fever (1861), cholera (1847), and farm injuries. Gans also routinely attended childbirths. His treatments included blistering, bleeding, venesection, lancing, and operating as well as administering medicine and pills. In return for his services, Gans routinely accepted farm produce, labor on his farm, and other useful items such as shingles. He went on to serve as an assistant surgeon in the Civil War.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis is a ledger of an Elizabeth, PA, glass manufacturer's accounts with his workers. The manufacturer ran some type of company store, and the ledger thus includes debits for cash and merchandise received by the workers and credits for the various types of labor performed, including glass blowing, teasing, cutting, coal mining, blacksmithing, and box making. In addition, the ledger includes the manufacturer's accounts with a boarding house owner for boarding his workers and with a local merchant who supplied the company store. In general, the ledger provides insights into the earnings of mid-19th century artisans as well as the operation of a small, rural glass-making establishment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis consignment book documents commodity prices and the wide variety of goods received by a Wheeling commission merchant house during the 1830s. It also provides insights into the local industrial development, since the commission merchants routinely received goods on consignment from local manufacturers, such as the German Manufacturing Company (textiles). At the beginning of the book, there is evidence that the firm engaged a peddler to make trips in 1830, and the commission house also conducted auctions during the 1830s.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMoses Chapline was a prominent citizen in Wheeling, at various times an attorney, a general store owner, and in the 1830s, mayor. This daybook documents the daily trade at his store during 1845. Included are entries for purchases of a wide variety of goods as well as entries for store expenses, such as insurance, soap, and transportation. The A. Loring who appears frequently throughout was probably Alonzo Loring, a clerk at the store.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHarry Hood and Company was a retail meat and dairy market in Fairmont, WV. This ledger covers the last few months of 1906 and the first months of 1907. It documents purchases of meat from wholesale producers, such as Armour and Company, and sales of meat to local businesses and individuals in Fairmont. Transactions are typically listed only as \"merchandise,\" making it difficult to glean any information concerning prices or consumption patterns. The ledger is used only for the first 150 of its 500 pages, and the business does not appear in the Polk business directory of 1906-1907, suggesting the possibility that it folded some time in 1907.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis ledger documents a general store in Tyler County, probably near Middlebourne, the county seat. Although fairly routine entries characterize customer purchases, the volume also documents purchases from wholesale merchants, beginning on page 251. Included are such firms as Hubbard and Paull, and Jos. Speidel, both of Wheeling; Ed Roome of Sistersville; and Burgunder Brothers and Company, of Columbus, Ohio. Also, the ledger often lists the occupations of the store's customers. Included are John Gates, an oil rig builder (reflecting the emergence of the local oil business) and a number of customers connected to a local woolen mill.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eJohn Gallaher, Christian Ansbrutz, and Caleb Bleakmor started a general store partnership in 1853. Prior to that date, Gallaher operated a store in Moundsville, which is documented in the first 90 pages of the daybook. The daybook follows the partnership for only six months (until September 1853), but then another Moundsville general store (involving Bleakmor) used the daybook during 1856. In the 1850 census, Bleakmor was listed as a constable, age 49, born in Maryland; and Ansbrutz was listed as a miller, age 47, born in France, worth $23,000. Only Gallaher, a 53-year-old Irishman worth $12,000, was listed as a merchant. From the evidence in the daybook, it appears that the partnership was short-lived.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis series includes ephemera, sheet music, booklets, pamphlets, and correspondence.

Huntington, Nathaniel P. Banks, and Newton D. Baker.","This subseries contains correspondence, invoices, deeds, tax documents, court cases, and other material. Most of the items pertain to West Virginia.  Highlights include:  bills and invoices of G.H.A. Kunst and John H. Kunst (1853-1867, 1892-1893);  papers of the Wells family of Sistersville (1806-1885);  a telegram regarding the burning of Harpers Ferry (1861);  a broadside listing members of Company H, 3rd Regiment, Potomac Home Brigade, Maryland Infantry (undated); and  legal documents regarding the manumission of slaves (1820-1828, 1856).","Lucy Prichard taught Latin and Classical Studies at Marshall College from 1914 to 1941. This series includes correspondence, photographs, and printed material. Correspondence includes Karl Prichard's letters (1918) and Lucy Prichard's letters (1925-1927, undated). Lucy's letters are addressed to her mother, Mrs. R.H. Prichard, in Huntington, WV. Many of Lucy's letters relate to her travels and studies in the Peloponnesus peninsula of Greece, the British Isles, Western Europe, and Italy in 1925 and 1927. For more information on Lucy Prichard, see the Historical Note.","This series includes newspaper clippings and typescripts of Wirt County resident and Atlantic Monthly writer Louis Eckert Reed. The newspaper clippings show images of Reed family photos (1960). The typescripts are short stories written by Louis, many likely unpublished. Also included are notes and a draft of  Burning Springs, Virginia: The Civil War's Unsolved Mystery , initially a paper that Reed prepared for the West Virginia Historical Society (see  Burning Springs, West Virginia: the Civil War's Unsolved Mystery , by Louis Reed, self-published in Elizabeth, WV, 1960). This material may have been developed for his later fictional novel,  Burning Springs  (published in Huntington, WV by University Editions/Aegina Press, 1985). For more information on Reed, see the Historical Note. A letter from Louis Reed to Jim Comstock regarding Reed's book  Warning in Appalachia  (1967) can be found in Series 6, Comstock Correspondence, box 62, folder 27. Other letters from Reed may be found elsewhere in Series 6, Correspondence.","This series includes 27 account books, many of which relate to north-central West Virginia businesses. These ledgers document general stores, a Jewish-owned clothing store in Richwood, the activities of an itinerant Methodist minister in the mining villages of north-central West Virginia, grocery stores and meat markets, a glass manufacturer, and other businesses. See Separated Materials note for information on volumes separated to other collections.","Thistle and Cox formed a partnership in Tyler County, [West] Virginia in March of 1835. This is the partnership's first ledger, which spans the years 1835-1837, but reference is made to the transfer of accounts to at least one subsequent ledger. The business appears to have been located near the Ohio River (probably in Sistersville), since customers included Ohio as well as Tyler County citizens. Although the debit side for each customer only lists the term \"merchandise\" for purchases, the ledger reveals the barter nature of much of the rural economy of Tyler County on the credit side. Among items received in trade by Thistle and Cox were chestnuts, hides, bees wax, rags, sand, tobacco, clothes, meats, produce, and various forms of labor. The ledger also frequently lists the occupations or residences of many of the customers. Included were coopers, tanners, blacksmiths, preachers, schoolteachers, and carpenters, scattered from Point Pleasant to Wheeling.","Inventory and Book Accounts. This volume contains a 66-page inventory of goods on hand and their prices in a Tyler County general store in January 1877. The inventory is divided into the following categories: fancy groceries, groceries, men's shoes, ladies' shoes, children's shoes, overshoes, dress goods, wall paper, housewares, and other. Starting on page 71 is a four-page list of the book accounts of the store's customers, presumably on that same date.","The Cordray Carriage Company was a short-lived business in Fairmont, WV. The ledger lists only the customers and the amount they owed T.L. Cordray, the proprietor of the Carriage Company. The ledger does not list the services for which the customers were charged. However, one itemized account invoice on an inserted piece of paper suggests that the Cordray Carriage Company repaired vehicles. For H.O. Amos, from 1907 through 1911, the Company repaired couplings, repaired and painted the body, repaired the interior, raised the body, and tightened and repaired the fenders, for a total charge of $118. The ledger includes more than 400 customers.","A. H. Breckstein was a Jewish merchant who operated a clothing store in the boom town of Richwood, in Nicholas County. Volume 10 is a cash book detailing daily transactions in the store, both sales and expenses, for part of 1910, and consistently for the period 1928 to 1936. There are also monthly accountings of both cash and credit sales as well as expenses. Volume 11 documents sales and purchases of clothing for the period 1926 to 1934. The sales portion of this volume repeats information available in volume 10. Volume 12 is a ledger of accounts payable for the period 1921-1928, showing the firms from which Breckstein purchased his goods. Included are companies in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and New York.","J.C. Shock was a Methodist minister assigned to a parish in Pullman, WV in 1910. However, he also appeared to be an itinerant preacher, and his account book lists ministerial services provided for the towns and villages of Duffy, Straight Fork, Falls Mill, Glady, and Kingknob, in the north-central West Virginia counties of Lewis, Ritchie, and Wetzel. The account book documents Shock's ministry, listing the text for sermons preached at various towns as well as the contributions of those towns to his salary. Most of the entries cover the years 1910-1917, at which time his base of operations seems to have shifted permanently to Falls Run and Falls Mill in Braxton County. There are entries for sermons, marriages, and assessments for those towns running to 1938. An additional folder contains miscellaneous documents related to Shock found within the ledger.","In the 1890s, Mrs. Samuel C. Gans operated a general store in Moundsville, which by 1900 was specializing in dry goods. This ledger reflects the volume of business and the timing and means of settling accounts. The early pages (for the 1890s) are more detailed, listing the items purchased from the general store. For the later period, the entries are frequently limited to the terms \"goods\" or \"merchandise.\" The back of the volume also contains some notes and miscellaneous accounts, such as rooms rented.","In 1892, a number of Charleston's German families banded together to form an Evangelical Lutheran Church. Subscriptions for a building fund and other church work began to be collected in October of that year. This ledger documents the subscriptions of the founding members of St. Paul's Evangelical Church. It also provides an accounting of the expenses and building funds contributed by the members, including the purchase of a lot on Court Street in Charleston, the church's construction, and the salary of the minister.","These volumes were written by Albert S. Hayden, Notary Public in and for the county of Marion and the state of West Virginia. He recorded handwritten copies of promissory notes and bills presented at Fairmont, WV banks for redemption, which were protested by the First National Bank of Fairmont's cashier. The ledgers also list the date protested, by whom, and the notices mailed to note signers. Most notes originated in West Virginia, but some originated in Ohio. Volume 16a covers 1870-1873. Volume 16b covers 1875-1876.","Anthony Zidn operated a grocery and dry goods store outside of Fairmont on RFD #2. Zidn was an immigrant from the Middle East (perhaps Armenia, as suggested by the fact he kept his accounts in Persian and had a Christian name). These three ledgers document his business, although most of the information is written in Persian.","The Price Brothers operated a general store in the small village of Amos on the Paw Paw Creek, eleven miles from the town of Fairmont in Marion County. The Price Brothers sold all sorts of groceries to people in the town, as documented by this ledger. In addition, the Polk business directory for 1902-1903 notes that the Price sisters operated a millinery business in Amos. There are loose papers within the ledger, including statements and product advertisements (1905-1907, undated).","At the turn of the century, there were four wholesale meat provisioners in Wheeling. This ledger represents the operations of one of them for the years 1901-1902. The company principally supplied general stores and grocers in eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia, southwestern Pennsylvania, and western Maryland. However, individuals could also buy directly. Entries typically include the name of the purchaser, the town in which the purchaser resides, and the amount of the purchase. For local buyers, the ledger frequently lists the Wheeling address. Since transactions are usually noted only as merchandise, it is impossible to glean what types of meats were being purchased at what costs.","Jacob Hornbrook was born in Tavistock, England, in 1812 and moved with his parents to Wheeling when he was a small child. Jacob's father ran a small [business?] in Wheeling. As a young man, Jacob began a mercantile business buying and selling produce on the flatboats travelling on the Ohio River. He later started a notions store, purchased interest in a steamship line and the First National Bank, and was president and owned stock in the Wheeling Gas Company. These three books, a journal (volume 20; 1847-1874), a ledger (volume 21; 1847-1874), and a cash book (volume 22; 1845-1874), document his business interests, investments, and personal expenses during the last three decades of his life. Although he remained an active investor, Hornbrook retired from his mercantile business in 1855 with an estate valued at more than $30,000. In 1852, he moved to what he called \"Forest Home\" near Wheeling Park, and he served in the West Virginia legislature during the Civil War.","This volume includes a manuscript copy of the act \"To incorporate the Wheeling Gas Company\" issued March 18, 1850; a copy of a related Wheeling city ordinance, issued April 29, 1850; stockholders meeting minutes, April 15, April 25, May 1, May 9, and May 11, 1850; and lists of subscribers, the number of shares of stock, and the amount paid.","George C. Gans was a physician practicing in Marshall County in the decades prior to the Civil War. Although most of his patients resided in the area around Moundsville and Elizabeth, Gans does not appear in either the 1840 or the 1850 U.S. census schedules for Marshall County. The ledger documents his treatment of families in Marshall County for a wide variety of ills, including typhoid fever (1861), cholera (1847), and farm injuries. Gans also routinely attended childbirths. His treatments included blistering, bleeding, venesection, lancing, and operating as well as administering medicine and pills. In return for his services, Gans routinely accepted farm produce, labor on his farm, and other useful items such as shingles. He went on to serve as an assistant surgeon in the Civil War.","This is a ledger of an Elizabeth, PA, glass manufacturer's accounts with his workers. The manufacturer ran some type of company store, and the ledger thus includes debits for cash and merchandise received by the workers and credits for the various types of labor performed, including glass blowing, teasing, cutting, coal mining, blacksmithing, and box making. In addition, the ledger includes the manufacturer's accounts with a boarding house owner for boarding his workers and with a local merchant who supplied the company store. In general, the ledger provides insights into the earnings of mid-19th century artisans as well as the operation of a small, rural glass-making establishment.","This consignment book documents commodity prices and the wide variety of goods received by a Wheeling commission merchant house during the 1830s. It also provides insights into the local industrial development, since the commission merchants routinely received goods on consignment from local manufacturers, such as the German Manufacturing Company (textiles). At the beginning of the book, there is evidence that the firm engaged a peddler to make trips in 1830, and the commission house also conducted auctions during the 1830s.","Moses Chapline was a prominent citizen in Wheeling, at various times an attorney, a general store owner, and in the 1830s, mayor. This daybook documents the daily trade at his store during 1845. Included are entries for purchases of a wide variety of goods as well as entries for store expenses, such as insurance, soap, and transportation. The A. Loring who appears frequently throughout was probably Alonzo Loring, a clerk at the store.","Harry Hood and Company was a retail meat and dairy market in Fairmont, WV. This ledger covers the last few months of 1906 and the first months of 1907. It documents purchases of meat from wholesale producers, such as Armour and Company, and sales of meat to local businesses and individuals in Fairmont. Transactions are typically listed only as \"merchandise,\" making it difficult to glean any information concerning prices or consumption patterns. The ledger is used only for the first 150 of its 500 pages, and the business does not appear in the Polk business directory of 1906-1907, suggesting the possibility that it folded some time in 1907.","This ledger documents a general store in Tyler County, probably near Middlebourne, the county seat. Although fairly routine entries characterize customer purchases, the volume also documents purchases from wholesale merchants, beginning on page 251. Included are such firms as Hubbard and Paull, and Jos. Speidel, both of Wheeling; Ed Roome of Sistersville; and Burgunder Brothers and Company, of Columbus, Ohio. Also, the ledger often lists the occupations of the store's customers. Included are John Gates, an oil rig builder (reflecting the emergence of the local oil business) and a number of customers connected to a local woolen mill.","John Gallaher, Christian Ansbrutz, and Caleb Bleakmor started a general store partnership in 1853. Prior to that date, Gallaher operated a store in Moundsville, which is documented in the first 90 pages of the daybook. The daybook follows the partnership for only six months (until September 1853), but then another Moundsville general store (involving Bleakmor) used the daybook during 1856. In the 1850 census, Bleakmor was listed as a constable, age 49, born in Maryland; and Ansbrutz was listed as a miller, age 47, born in France, worth $23,000. Only Gallaher, a 53-year-old Irishman worth $12,000, was listed as a merchant. From the evidence in the daybook, it appears that the partnership was short-lived.","This series includes ephemera, sheet music, booklets, pamphlets, and correspondence.

In 1992, he sold the  Hillbilly  to Sandy McCauley. In 2001, the  Hillbilly  ceased publication.","Comstock was involved in many endeavors in addition to his newspaper editing and reporting activities. In 1963, he ran unsuccessfully for Congress on the Republican ticket. He wrote, edited, and contributed to various books, including  Pa and Ma and Mr. Kennedy , a 50-volume  West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia , and a collection of newspaper highlights entitled  Best of Hillbilly . He was also involved in republishing books by West Virginian authors. He campaigned to purchase and preserve author Pearl S. Buck's birthplace at Hillsboro, and he helped save the Cass Scenic Railroad. He also founded the University of Hard Knocks, a lighthearted honorary society that recognizes the accomplishments of people who have succeeded in life without a college degree.","Papers of James (\"Jim\") Franklin Comstock of Richwood, West Virginia, whose position as editor of the  West Virginia Hillbilly  and avocation as collector and advocate of all things West Virginia led to the preservation of much of the state's physical, visual, and textual history. The collection includes materials Comstock collected about West Virginia history as well as his own personal and professional papers.","Materials include: general series of historical documents such as letters, deeds, and county court cases pertaining to a diverse range of subjects (1717, 1754-1988, undated [includes facsimiles]); letters of Lucy Prichard, former instructor at Marshall College (now Marshall University) (1925-1927, undated); clippings and typescripts of Wirt County resident and  Atlantic Monthly  writer Louis Eckert Reed (ca. 1960-1975, undated); account books concerning economic development and commercial activities in the northern part of the state in the 19th and early 20th centuries (1830-1938); printed material about West Virginia schools, businesses, and events as well as non-West Virginia books and pamphlets (1829-1995, undated); Comstock's personal and professional correspondence (1882-1995, undated); a wide variety of photographs, including images of West Virginia cities and towns, among many others (ca. 1850s-1995, undated); microfilmed records of the Civil War and Dunmore's War (undated); glass lantern slides, which include views of scenery and buildings in Wheeling and various other locations in Ohio County, WV (1871-1897, undated); Grand Army of the Republic and U.S. military history scrapbooks (1883-1918); broadsides, including advertisements for a circus in Moundsville (ca. 1827-1960 [includes facsimiles]); and maps and atlases of pre- and post-statehood West Virginia, counties, colonial North America, and other topics (1730-1976, undated [includes facsimiles]).","An addendum of 2013/05 includes additional personal and professional correspondence, publications, newspaper morgue files, photographs, audio-visual material, artifacts, scrapbooks, account books, and maps.

Box 1 includes three subgroups: the Barnet Cushwa Papers, West Virginia Documents, and Non-West Virginia Documents. Boxes 2a-3 contain material of mixed origin. Additional historical documents can be found in Series 17, Oversize, and in subseries Oversize--Manuscripts.","This subseries includes a collection of materials documenting the activities of Cushwa, a prominent farmer and later the sheriff of Berkeley County in the 1850s. Cushwa's papers reveal his activities as administrator of the Daniel Gehr estate (1839-1843). The Berkeley County documents, including lists of landholdings, orders, taxes, and fee collections, demonstrate his duties as sheriff in the 1850s. See Series 17, Oversize, box 117 for Berkeley County land holdings, sheriff's accounts, and lists of orders, taxes, fees, etc. (1854-1858).","This subseries is comprised of correspondence and other material, principally concerning commercial and development activities in north-central West Virginia. These items are grouped by county; please note that there is overlap between counties.   Highlights include:  items relating to Harman Blennerhassett (box 1, folder 12);  a six-page letter written by William G. Brown answering questions concerning the constitutionality of the movement for West Virginia statehood (June 28, 1862) (box 1, folder 13);  letters and reminiscences focusing on the reunions of the Battle of Philippi (1911-1935) (box 1, folder 14); and  two letters from the abolitionist John Brown (box 1, folder 15)."," Additional West Virginia documents can be found in boxes 2a-2c.","Highlights of this subseries include:  four letters from soldiers in the Mexican War;  seventeen letters from Pennsylvania soldier James M.

This series includes correspondence, photographs, and printed material. Correspondence includes Karl Prichard's letters (1918) and Lucy Prichard's letters (1925-1927, undated). Lucy's letters are addressed to her mother, Mrs. R.H. Prichard, in Huntington, WV. Many of Lucy's letters relate to her travels and studies in the Peloponnesus peninsula of Greece, the British Isles, Western Europe, and Italy in 1925 and 1927. For more information on Lucy Prichard, see the Historical Note.","This series includes newspaper clippings and typescripts of Wirt County resident and Atlantic Monthly writer Louis Eckert Reed. The newspaper clippings show images of Reed family photos (1960). The typescripts are short stories written by Louis, many likely unpublished. Also included are notes and a draft of  Burning Springs, Virginia: The Civil War's Unsolved Mystery , initially a paper that Reed prepared for the West Virginia Historical Society (see  Burning Springs, West Virginia: the Civil War's Unsolved Mystery , by Louis Reed, self-published in Elizabeth, WV, 1960). This material may have been developed for his later fictional novel,  Burning Springs  (published in Huntington, WV by University Editions/Aegina Press, 1985). For more information on Reed, see the Historical Note. A letter from Louis Reed to Jim Comstock regarding Reed's book  Warning in Appalachia  (1967) can be found in Series 6, Comstock Correspondence, box 62, folder 27. Other letters from Reed may be found elsewhere in Series 6, Correspondence.","This series includes 27 account books, many of which relate to north-central West Virginia businesses. These ledgers document general stores, a Jewish-owned clothing store in Richwood, the activities of an itinerant Methodist minister in the mining villages of north-central West Virginia, grocery stores and meat markets, a glass manufacturer, and other businesses. See Separated Materials note for information on volumes separated to other collections.","Thistle and Cox formed a partnership in Tyler County, [West] Virginia in March of 1835. This is the partnership's first ledger, which spans the years 1835-1837, but reference is made to the transfer of accounts to at least one subsequent ledger. The business appears to have been located near the Ohio River (probably in Sistersville), since customers included Ohio as well as Tyler County citizens. Although the debit side for each customer only lists the term \"merchandise\" for purchases, the ledger reveals the barter nature of much of the rural economy of Tyler County on the credit side. Among items received in trade by Thistle and Cox were chestnuts, hides, bees wax, rags, sand, tobacco, clothes, meats, produce, and various forms of labor. The ledger also frequently lists the occupations or residences of many of the customers. Included were coopers, tanners, blacksmiths, preachers, schoolteachers, and carpenters, scattered from Point Pleasant to Wheeling.","Inventory and Book Accounts. This volume contains a 66-page inventory of goods on hand and their prices in a Tyler County general store in January 1877. The inventory is divided into the following categories: fancy groceries, groceries, men's shoes, ladies' shoes, children's shoes, overshoes, dress goods, wall paper, housewares, and other. Starting on page 71 is a four-page list of the book accounts of the store's customers, presumably on that same date.","The Cordray Carriage Company was a short-lived business in Fairmont, WV. The ledger lists only the customers and the amount they owed T.L. Cordray, the proprietor of the Carriage Company. The ledger does not list the services for which the customers were charged. However, one itemized account invoice on an inserted piece of paper suggests that the Cordray Carriage Company repaired vehicles. For H.O. Amos, from 1907 through 1911, the Company repaired couplings, repaired and painted the body, repaired the interior, raised the body, and tightened and repaired the fenders, for a total charge of $118. The ledger includes more than 400 customers.","A. H. Breckstein was a Jewish merchant who operated a clothing store in the boom town of Richwood, in Nicholas County. Volume 10 is a cash book detailing daily transactions in the store, both sales and expenses, for part of 1910, and consistently for the period 1928 to 1936. There are also monthly accountings of both cash and credit sales as well as expenses. Volume 11 documents sales and purchases of clothing for the period 1926 to 1934. The sales portion of this volume repeats information available in volume 10. Volume 12 is a ledger of accounts payable for the period 1921-1928, showing the firms from which Breckstein purchased his goods. Included are companies in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and New York.","J.C. Shock was a Methodist minister assigned to a parish in Pullman, WV in 1910. However, he also appeared to be an itinerant preacher, and his account book lists ministerial services provided for the towns and villages of Duffy, Straight Fork, Falls Mill, Glady, and Kingknob, in the north-central West Virginia counties of Lewis, Ritchie, and Wetzel. The account book documents Shock's ministry, listing the text for sermons preached at various towns as well as the contributions of those towns to his salary. Most of the entries cover the years 1910-1917, at which time his base of operations seems to have shifted permanently to Falls Run and Falls Mill in Braxton County. There are entries for sermons, marriages, and assessments for those towns running to 1938. An additional folder contains miscellaneous documents related to Shock found within the ledger.","In the 1890s, Mrs. Samuel C. Gans operated a general store in Moundsville, which by 1900 was specializing in dry goods. This ledger reflects the volume of business and the timing and means of settling accounts. The early pages (for the 1890s) are more detailed, listing the items purchased from the general store. For the later period, the entries are frequently limited to the terms \"goods\" or \"merchandise.\" The back of the volume also contains some notes and miscellaneous accounts, such as rooms rented.","In 1892, a number of Charleston's German families banded together to form an Evangelical Lutheran Church. Subscriptions for a building fund and other church work began to be collected in October of that year. This ledger documents the subscriptions of the founding members of St. Paul's Evangelical Church. It also provides an accounting of the expenses and building funds contributed by the members, including the purchase of a lot on Court Street in Charleston, the church's construction, and the salary of the minister.","These volumes were written by Albert S. Hayden, Notary Public in and for the county of Marion and the state of West Virginia. He recorded handwritten copies of promissory notes and bills presented at Fairmont, WV banks for redemption, which were protested by the First National Bank of Fairmont's cashier. The ledgers also list the date protested, by whom, and the notices mailed to note signers. Most notes originated in West Virginia, but some originated in Ohio. Volume 16a covers 1870-1873. Volume 16b covers 1875-1876.","Anthony Zidn operated a grocery and dry goods store outside of Fairmont on RFD #2. Zidn was an immigrant from the Middle East (perhaps Armenia, as suggested by the fact he kept his accounts in Persian and had a Christian name). These three ledgers document his business, although most of the information is written in Persian.","The Price Brothers operated a general store in the small village of Amos on the Paw Paw Creek, eleven miles from the town of Fairmont in Marion County. The Price Brothers sold all sorts of groceries to people in the town, as documented by this ledger. In addition, the Polk business directory for 1902-1903 notes that the Price sisters operated a millinery business in Amos. There are loose papers within the ledger, including statements and product advertisements (1905-1907, undated).","At the turn of the century, there were four wholesale meat provisioners in Wheeling. This ledger represents the operations of one of them for the years 1901-1902. The company principally supplied general stores and grocers in eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia, southwestern Pennsylvania, and western Maryland. However, individuals could also buy directly. Entries typically include the name of the purchaser, the town in which the purchaser resides, and the amount of the purchase. For local buyers, the ledger frequently lists the Wheeling address. Since transactions are usually noted only as merchandise, it is impossible to glean what types of meats were being purchased at what costs.","Jacob Hornbrook was born in Tavistock, England, in 1812 and moved with his parents to Wheeling when he was a small child. Jacob's father ran a small [business?] in Wheeling. As a young man, Jacob began a mercantile business buying and selling produce on the flatboats travelling on the Ohio River. He later started a notions store, purchased interest in a steamship line and the First National Bank, and was president and owned stock in the Wheeling Gas Company. These three books, a journal (volume 20; 1847-1874), a ledger (volume 21; 1847-1874), and a cash book (volume 22; 1845-1874), document his business interests, investments, and personal expenses during the last three decades of his life. Although he remained an active investor, Hornbrook retired from his mercantile business in 1855 with an estate valued at more than $30,000. In 1852, he moved to what he called \"Forest Home\" near Wheeling Park, and he served in the West Virginia legislature during the Civil War.","This volume includes a manuscript copy of the act \"To incorporate the Wheeling Gas Company\" issued March 18, 1850; a copy of a related Wheeling city ordinance, issued April 29, 1850; stockholders meeting minutes, April 15, April 25, May 1, May 9, and May 11, 1850; and lists of subscribers, the number of shares of stock, and the amount paid.","George C. Gans was a physician practicing in Marshall County in the decades prior to the Civil War. Although most of his patients resided in the area around Moundsville and Elizabeth, Gans does not appear in either the 1840 or the 1850 U.S. census schedules for Marshall County. The ledger documents his treatment of families in Marshall County for a wide variety of ills, including typhoid fever (1861), cholera (1847), and farm injuries. Gans also routinely attended childbirths. His treatments included blistering, bleeding, venesection, lancing, and operating as well as administering medicine and pills. In return for his services, Gans routinely accepted farm produce, labor on his farm, and other useful items such as shingles. He went on to serve as an assistant surgeon in the Civil War.","This is a ledger of an Elizabeth, PA, glass manufacturer's accounts with his workers. The manufacturer ran some type of company store, and the ledger thus includes debits for cash and merchandise received by the workers and credits for the various types of labor performed, including glass blowing, teasing, cutting, coal mining, blacksmithing, and box making. In addition, the ledger includes the manufacturer's accounts with a boarding house owner for boarding his workers and with a local merchant who supplied the company store. In general, the ledger provides insights into the earnings of mid-19th century artisans as well as the operation of a small, rural glass-making establishment.","This consignment book documents commodity prices and the wide variety of goods received by a Wheeling commission merchant house during the 1830s. It also provides insights into the local industrial development, since the commission merchants routinely received goods on consignment from local manufacturers, such as the German Manufacturing Company (textiles). At the beginning of the book, there is evidence that the firm engaged a peddler to make trips in 1830, and the commission house also conducted auctions during the 1830s.","Moses Chapline was a prominent citizen in Wheeling, at various times an attorney, a general store owner, and in the 1830s, mayor. This daybook documents the daily trade at his store during 1845. Included are entries for purchases of a wide variety of goods as well as entries for store expenses, such as insurance, soap, and transportation. The A. Loring who appears frequently throughout was probably Alonzo Loring, a clerk at the store.","Harry Hood and Company was a retail meat and dairy market in Fairmont, WV. This ledger covers the last few months of 1906 and the first months of 1907. It documents purchases of meat from wholesale producers, such as Armour and Company, and sales of meat to local businesses and individuals in Fairmont. Transactions are typically listed only as \"merchandise,\" making it difficult to glean any information concerning prices or consumption patterns. The ledger is used only for the first 150 of its 500 pages, and the business does not appear in the Polk business directory of 1906-1907, suggesting the possibility that it folded some time in 1907.","This ledger documents a general store in Tyler County, probably near Middlebourne, the county seat. Although fairly routine entries characterize customer purchases, the volume also documents purchases from wholesale merchants, beginning on page 251. Included are such firms as Hubbard and Paull, and Jos. Speidel, both of Wheeling; Ed Roome of Sistersville; and Burgunder Brothers and Company, of Columbus, Ohio. Also, the ledger often lists the occupations of the store's customers. Included are John Gates, an oil rig builder (reflecting the emergence of the local oil business) and a number of customers connected to a local woolen mill.","John Gallaher, Christian Ansbrutz, and Caleb Bleakmor started a general store partnership in 1853. Prior to that date, Gallaher operated a store in Moundsville, which is documented in the first 90 pages of the daybook. The daybook follows the partnership for only six months (until September 1853), but then another Moundsville general store (involving Bleakmor) used the daybook during 1856. In the 1850 census, Bleakmor was listed as a constable, age 49, born in Maryland; and Ansbrutz was listed as a miller, age 47, born in France, worth $23,000. Only Gallaher, a 53-year-old Irishman worth $12,000, was listed as a merchant. From the evidence in the daybook, it appears that the partnership was short-lived.","This series includes ephemera, sheet music, booklets, pamphlets, and correspondence. Additional miscellaneous printed material can be found in Series 17, Oversize.","  Box 18 includes calendars, sheet music, notecards, and printed material related to West Virginia history. The notecards include screen printed notecards from Wolf Creek Printery in Alderson, WV (1976). The history printed material includes a booklet entitled  Wheeling Bicentennial, 1769-1969  (1969?).","  Box 19 includes West Virginia serial publications and magazines, as well as printed material about West Virginia schools and locations. Highlights include three issues of  The Searchlight , a serial about education (two published in Summersville, WV [1895-1896], and one published in Fayetteville, WV [1899]); an issue of  The Mikrophone: Devoted to Religion, Morality, and Temperance  (published in Highland, WV, by D.H.

Swain's  The Incomparable Don Chafin  (Charleston, WV: Ace Enterprises, 1962).","  Box 22 includes George T. Swain's  Facts About the Two Armed Marches on Logan  (Charleston, WV: Ace Enterprises, 1962), as well as printed materials for a variety of West Virginia and non-West Virginia businesses and organizations. These include advertisements and booklets regarding the West Virginia glass industry, including Fenton Glass (1966-1976, undated), a Woman's Club of Gassaway booklet (1970), a reprint of the Berkeley Springs Hotel Brochure of 1885 (1988), and the constitution of the First Baptist Church of Richwood, WV (undated).

Some materials were moved to Series 17, Oversize -- see the Series 17 description for details."," Comstock marked much of his correspondence to be filed by the first letter of the correspondent's last name. Some of this organizational scheme has survived; folders containing specific letter and year files are dispersed throughout the series.

Lucy's letters are addressed to her mother, Mrs. R.H. Prichard, in Huntington, WV. Many of Lucy's letters relate to her travels and studies in the Peloponnesus peninsula of Greece, the British Isles, Western Europe, and Italy in 1925 and 1927.

These ledgers document general stores, a Jewish-owned clothing store in Richwood, the activities of an itinerant Methodist minister in the mining villages of north-central West Virginia, grocery stores and meat markets, a glass manufacturer, and other businesses. See Separated Materials note for information on volumes separated to other collections.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThistle and Cox formed a partnership in Tyler County, [West] Virginia in March of 1835. This is the partnership's first ledger, which spans the years 1835-1837, but reference is made to the transfer of accounts to at least one subsequent ledger. The business appears to have been located near the Ohio River (probably in Sistersville), since customers included Ohio as well as Tyler County citizens. Although the debit side for each customer only lists the term \"merchandise\" for purchases, the ledger reveals the barter nature of much of the rural economy of Tyler County on the credit side. Among items received in trade by Thistle and Cox were chestnuts, hides, bees wax, rags, sand, tobacco, clothes, meats, produce, and various forms of labor. The ledger also frequently lists the occupations or residences of many of the customers. Included were coopers, tanners, blacksmiths, preachers, schoolteachers, and carpenters, scattered from Point Pleasant to Wheeling.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eInventory and Book Accounts. This volume contains a 66-page inventory of goods on hand and their prices in a Tyler County general store in January 1877. The inventory is divided into the following categories: fancy groceries, groceries, men's shoes, ladies' shoes, children's shoes, overshoes, dress goods, wall paper, housewares, and other. Starting on page 71 is a four-page list of the book accounts of the store's customers, presumably on that same date.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Cordray Carriage Company was a short-lived business in Fairmont, WV. The ledger lists only the customers and the amount they owed T.L. Cordray, the proprietor of the Carriage Company. The ledger does not list the services for which the customers were charged. However, one itemized account invoice on an inserted piece of paper suggests that the Cordray Carriage Company repaired vehicles. For H.O. Amos, from 1907 through 1911, the Company repaired couplings, repaired and painted the body, repaired the interior, raised the body, and tightened and repaired the fenders, for a total charge of $118. The ledger includes more than 400 customers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eA. H. Breckstein was a Jewish merchant who operated a clothing store in the boom town of Richwood, in Nicholas County. Volume 10 is a cash book detailing daily transactions in the store, both sales and expenses, for part of 1910, and consistently for the period 1928 to 1936. There are also monthly accountings of both cash and credit sales as well as expenses. Volume 11 documents sales and purchases of clothing for the period 1926 to 1934. The sales portion of this volume repeats information available in volume 10. Volume 12 is a ledger of accounts payable for the period 1921-1928, showing the firms from which Breckstein purchased his goods. Included are companies in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and New York.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eJ.C. Shock was a Methodist minister assigned to a parish in Pullman, WV in 1910. However, he also appeared to be an itinerant preacher, and his account book lists ministerial services provided for the towns and villages of Duffy, Straight Fork, Falls Mill, Glady, and Kingknob, in the north-central West Virginia counties of Lewis, Ritchie, and Wetzel. The account book documents Shock's ministry, listing the text for sermons preached at various towns as well as the contributions of those towns to his salary. Most of the entries cover the years 1910-1917, at which time his base of operations seems to have shifted permanently to Falls Run and Falls Mill in Braxton County. There are entries for sermons, marriages, and assessments for those towns running to 1938. An additional folder contains miscellaneous documents related to Shock found within the ledger.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn the 1890s, Mrs. Samuel C. Gans operated a general store in Moundsville, which by 1900 was specializing in dry goods. This ledger reflects the volume of business and the timing and means of settling accounts. The early pages (for the 1890s) are more detailed, listing the items purchased from the general store. For the later period, the entries are frequently limited to the terms \"goods\" or \"merchandise.\" The back of the volume also contains some notes and miscellaneous accounts, such as rooms rented.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn 1892, a number of Charleston's German families banded together to form an Evangelical Lutheran Church. Subscriptions for a building fund and other church work began to be collected in October of that year. This ledger documents the subscriptions of the founding members of St. Paul's Evangelical Church. It also provides an accounting of the expenses and building funds contributed by the members, including the purchase of a lot on Court Street in Charleston, the church's construction, and the salary of the minister.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThese volumes were written by Albert S. Hayden, Notary Public in and for the county of Marion and the state of West Virginia. He recorded handwritten copies of promissory notes and bills presented at Fairmont, WV banks for redemption, which were protested by the First National Bank of Fairmont's cashier. The ledgers also list the date protested, by whom, and the notices mailed to note signers. Most notes originated in West Virginia, but some originated in Ohio. Volume 16a covers 1870-1873. Volume 16b covers 1875-1876.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAnthony Zidn operated a grocery and dry goods store outside of Fairmont on RFD #2. Zidn was an immigrant from the Middle East (perhaps Armenia, as suggested by the fact he kept his accounts in Persian and had a Christian name). These three ledgers document his business, although most of the information is written in Persian.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Price Brothers operated a general store in the small village of Amos on the Paw Paw Creek, eleven miles from the town of Fairmont in Marion County. The Price Brothers sold all sorts of groceries to people in the town, as documented by this ledger. In addition, the Polk business directory for 1902-1903 notes that the Price sisters operated a millinery business in Amos. There are loose papers within the ledger, including statements and product advertisements (1905-1907, undated).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAt the turn of the century, there were four wholesale meat provisioners in Wheeling. This ledger represents the operations of one of them for the years 1901-1902. The company principally supplied general stores and grocers in eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia, southwestern Pennsylvania, and western Maryland. However, individuals could also buy directly. Entries typically include the name of the purchaser, the town in which the purchaser resides, and the amount of the purchase. For local buyers, the ledger frequently lists the Wheeling address. Since transactions are usually noted only as merchandise, it is impossible to glean what types of meats were being purchased at what costs.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eJacob Hornbrook was born in Tavistock, England, in 1812 and moved with his parents to Wheeling when he was a small child. Jacob's father ran a small [business?] in Wheeling. As a young man, Jacob began a mercantile business buying and selling produce on the flatboats travelling on the Ohio River. He later started a notions store, purchased interest in a steamship line and the First National Bank, and was president and owned stock in the Wheeling Gas Company. These three books, a journal (volume 20; 1847-1874), a ledger (volume 21; 1847-1874), and a cash book (volume 22; 1845-1874), document his business interests, investments, and personal expenses during the last three decades of his life. Although he remained an active investor, Hornbrook retired from his mercantile business in 1855 with an estate valued at more than $30,000. In 1852, he moved to what he called \"Forest Home\" near Wheeling Park, and he served in the West Virginia legislature during the Civil War.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis volume includes a manuscript copy of the act \"To incorporate the Wheeling Gas Company\" issued March 18, 1850; a copy of a related Wheeling city ordinance, issued April 29, 1850; stockholders meeting minutes, April 15, April 25, May 1, May 9, and May 11, 1850; and lists of subscribers, the number of shares of stock, and the amount paid.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eGeorge C. Gans was a physician practicing in Marshall County in the decades prior to the Civil War. Although most of his patients resided in the area around Moundsville and Elizabeth, Gans does not appear in either the 1840 or the 1850 U.S. census schedules for Marshall County. The ledger documents his treatment of families in Marshall County for a wide variety of ills, including typhoid fever (1861), cholera (1847), and farm injuries. Gans also routinely attended childbirths. His treatments included blistering, bleeding, venesection, lancing, and operating as well as administering medicine and pills. In return for his services, Gans routinely accepted farm produce, labor on his farm, and other useful items such as shingles. He went on to serve as an assistant surgeon in the Civil War.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis is a ledger of an Elizabeth, PA, glass manufacturer's accounts with his workers. The manufacturer ran some type of company store, and the ledger thus includes debits for cash and merchandise received by the workers and credits for the various types of labor performed, including glass blowing, teasing, cutting, coal mining, blacksmithing, and box making. In addition, the ledger includes the manufacturer's accounts with a boarding house owner for boarding his workers and with a local merchant who supplied the company store. In general, the ledger provides insights into the earnings of mid-19th century artisans as well as the operation of a small, rural glass-making establishment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis consignment book documents commodity prices and the wide variety of goods received by a Wheeling commission merchant house during the 1830s. It also provides insights into the local industrial development, since the commission merchants routinely received goods on consignment from local manufacturers, such as the German Manufacturing Company (textiles). At the beginning of the book, there is evidence that the firm engaged a peddler to make trips in 1830, and the commission house also conducted auctions during the 1830s.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMoses Chapline was a prominent citizen in Wheeling, at various times an attorney, a general store owner, and in the 1830s, mayor. This daybook documents the daily trade at his store during 1845. Included are entries for purchases of a wide variety of goods as well as entries for store expenses, such as insurance, soap, and transportation. The A. Loring who appears frequently throughout was probably Alonzo Loring, a clerk at the store.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHarry Hood and Company was a retail meat and dairy market in Fairmont, WV. This ledger covers the last few months of 1906 and the first months of 1907. It documents purchases of meat from wholesale producers, such as Armour and Company, and sales of meat to local businesses and individuals in Fairmont. Transactions are typically listed only as \"merchandise,\" making it difficult to glean any information concerning prices or consumption patterns. The ledger is used only for the first 150 of its 500 pages, and the business does not appear in the Polk business directory of 1906-1907, suggesting the possibility that it folded some time in 1907.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis ledger documents a general store in Tyler County, probably near Middlebourne, the county seat. Although fairly routine entries characterize customer purchases, the volume also documents purchases from wholesale merchants, beginning on page 251. Included are such firms as Hubbard and Paull, and Jos. Speidel, both of Wheeling; Ed Roome of Sistersville; and Burgunder Brothers and Company, of Columbus, Ohio. Also, the ledger often lists the occupations of the store's customers. Included are John Gates, an oil rig builder (reflecting the emergence of the local oil business) and a number of customers connected to a local woolen mill.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eJohn Gallaher, Christian Ansbrutz, and Caleb Bleakmor started a general store partnership in 1853. Prior to that date, Gallaher operated a store in Moundsville, which is documented in the first 90 pages of the daybook. The daybook follows the partnership for only six months (until September 1853), but then another Moundsville general store (involving Bleakmor) used the daybook during 1856. In the 1850 census, Bleakmor was listed as a constable, age 49, born in Maryland; and Ansbrutz was listed as a miller, age 47, born in France, worth $23,000. Only Gallaher, a 53-year-old Irishman worth $12,000, was listed as a merchant. From the evidence in the daybook, it appears that the partnership was short-lived.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis series includes ephemera, sheet music, booklets, pamphlets, and correspondence.

Cushwa's papers reveal his activities as administrator of the Daniel Gehr estate (1839-1843). The Berkeley County documents, including lists of landholdings, orders, taxes, and fee collections, demonstrate his duties as sheriff in the 1850s.

Lucy's letters are addressed to her mother, Mrs. R.H. Prichard, in Huntington, WV. Many of Lucy's letters relate to her travels and studies in the Peloponnesus peninsula of Greece, the British Isles, Western Europe, and Italy in 1925 and 1927. For more information on Lucy Prichard, see the Historical Note.","This series includes newspaper clippings and typescripts of Wirt County resident and Atlantic Monthly writer Louis Eckert Reed. The newspaper clippings show images of Reed family photos (1960). The typescripts are short stories written by Louis, many likely unpublished.

Other letters from Reed may be found elsewhere in Series 6, Correspondence.","This series includes 27 account books, many of which relate to north-central West Virginia businesses. These ledgers document general stores, a Jewish-owned clothing store in Richwood, the activities of an itinerant Methodist minister in the mining villages of north-central West Virginia, grocery stores and meat markets, a glass manufacturer, and other businesses. See Separated Materials note for information on volumes separated to other collections.","Thistle and Cox formed a partnership in Tyler County, [West] Virginia in March of 1835. This is the partnership's first ledger, which spans the years 1835-1837, but reference is made to the transfer of accounts to at least one subsequent ledger. The business appears to have been located near the Ohio River (probably in Sistersville), since customers included Ohio as well as Tyler County citizens. Although the debit side for each customer only lists the term \"merchandise\" for purchases, the ledger reveals the barter nature of much of the rural economy of Tyler County on the credit side. Among items received in trade by Thistle and Cox were chestnuts, hides, bees wax, rags, sand, tobacco, clothes, meats, produce, and various forms of labor. The ledger also frequently lists the occupations or residences of many of the customers. Included were coopers, tanners, blacksmiths, preachers, schoolteachers, and carpenters, scattered from Point Pleasant to Wheeling.","Inventory and Book Accounts. This volume contains a 66-page inventory of goods on hand and their prices in a Tyler County general store in January 1877. The inventory is divided into the following categories: fancy groceries, groceries, men's shoes, ladies' shoes, children's shoes, overshoes, dress goods, wall paper, housewares, and other. Starting on page 71 is a four-page list of the book accounts of the store's customers, presumably on that same date.","The Cordray Carriage Company was a short-lived business in Fairmont, WV. The ledger lists only the customers and the amount they owed T.L. Cordray, the proprietor of the Carriage Company. The ledger does not list the services for which the customers were charged. However, one itemized account invoice on an inserted piece of paper suggests that the Cordray Carriage Company repaired vehicles. For H.O. Amos, from 1907 through 1911, the Company repaired couplings, repaired and painted the body, repaired the interior, raised the body, and tightened and repaired the fenders, for a total charge of $118. The ledger includes more than 400 customers.","A. H. Breckstein was a Jewish merchant who operated a clothing store in the boom town of Richwood, in Nicholas County. Volume 10 is a cash book detailing daily transactions in the store, both sales and expenses, for part of 1910, and consistently for the period 1928 to 1936. There are also monthly accountings of both cash and credit sales as well as expenses. Volume 11 documents sales and purchases of clothing for the period 1926 to 1934. The sales portion of this volume repeats information available in volume 10. Volume 12 is a ledger of accounts payable for the period 1921-1928, showing the firms from which Breckstein purchased his goods. Included are companies in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and New York.","J.C. Shock was a Methodist minister assigned to a parish in Pullman, WV in 1910. However, he also appeared to be an itinerant preacher, and his account book lists ministerial services provided for the towns and villages of Duffy, Straight Fork, Falls Mill, Glady, and Kingknob, in the north-central West Virginia counties of Lewis, Ritchie, and Wetzel. The account book documents Shock's ministry, listing the text for sermons preached at various towns as well as the contributions of those towns to his salary. Most of the entries cover the years 1910-1917, at which time his base of operations seems to have shifted permanently to Falls Run and Falls Mill in Braxton County. There are entries for sermons, marriages, and assessments for those towns running to 1938. An additional folder contains miscellaneous documents related to Shock found within the ledger.","In the 1890s, Mrs. Samuel C. Gans operated a general store in Moundsville, which by 1900 was specializing in dry goods. This ledger reflects the volume of business and the timing and means of settling accounts. The early pages (for the 1890s) are more detailed, listing the items purchased from the general store. For the later period, the entries are frequently limited to the terms \"goods\" or \"merchandise.\" The back of the volume also contains some notes and miscellaneous accounts, such as rooms rented.","In 1892, a number of Charleston's German families banded together to form an Evangelical Lutheran Church. Subscriptions for a building fund and other church work began to be collected in October of that year. This ledger documents the subscriptions of the founding members of St. Paul's Evangelical Church. It also provides an accounting of the expenses and building funds contributed by the members, including the purchase of a lot on Court Street in Charleston, the church's construction, and the salary of the minister.","These volumes were written by Albert S. Hayden, Notary Public in and for the county of Marion and the state of West Virginia. He recorded handwritten copies of promissory notes and bills presented at Fairmont, WV banks for redemption, which were protested by the First National Bank of Fairmont's cashier. The ledgers also list the date protested, by whom, and the notices mailed to note signers. Most notes originated in West Virginia, but some originated in Ohio. Volume 16a covers 1870-1873. Volume 16b covers 1875-1876.","Anthony Zidn operated a grocery and dry goods store outside of Fairmont on RFD #2. Zidn was an immigrant from the Middle East (perhaps Armenia, as suggested by the fact he kept his accounts in Persian and had a Christian name). These three ledgers document his business, although most of the information is written in Persian.","The Price Brothers operated a general store in the small village of Amos on the Paw Paw Creek, eleven miles from the town of Fairmont in Marion County. The Price Brothers sold all sorts of groceries to people in the town, as documented by this ledger. In addition, the Polk business directory for 1902-1903 notes that the Price sisters operated a millinery business in Amos. There are loose papers within the ledger, including statements and product advertisements (1905-1907, undated).","At the turn of the century, there were four wholesale meat provisioners in Wheeling. This ledger represents the operations of one of them for the years 1901-1902. The company principally supplied general stores and grocers in eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia, southwestern Pennsylvania, and western Maryland. However, individuals could also buy directly. Entries typically include the name of the purchaser, the town in which the purchaser resides, and the amount of the purchase. For local buyers, the ledger frequently lists the Wheeling address. Since transactions are usually noted only as merchandise, it is impossible to glean what types of meats were being purchased at what costs.","Jacob Hornbrook was born in Tavistock, England, in 1812 and moved with his parents to Wheeling when he was a small child. Jacob's father ran a small [business?] in Wheeling. As a young man, Jacob began a mercantile business buying and selling produce on the flatboats travelling on the Ohio River. He later started a notions store, purchased interest in a steamship line and the First National Bank, and was president and owned stock in the Wheeling Gas Company. These three books, a journal (volume 20; 1847-1874), a ledger (volume 21; 1847-1874), and a cash book (volume 22; 1845-1874), document his business interests, investments, and personal expenses during the last three decades of his life. Although he remained an active investor, Hornbrook retired from his mercantile business in 1855 with an estate valued at more than $30,000. In 1852, he moved to what he called \"Forest Home\" near Wheeling Park, and he served in the West Virginia legislature during the Civil War.","This volume includes a manuscript copy of the act \"To incorporate the Wheeling Gas Company\" issued March 18, 1850; a copy of a related Wheeling city ordinance, issued April 29, 1850; stockholders meeting minutes, April 15, April 25, May 1, May 9, and May 11, 1850; and lists of subscribers, the number of shares of stock, and the amount paid.","George C. Gans was a physician practicing in Marshall County in the decades prior to the Civil War. Although most of his patients resided in the area around Moundsville and Elizabeth, Gans does not appear in either the 1840 or the 1850 U.S. census schedules for Marshall County. The ledger documents his treatment of families in Marshall County for a wide variety of ills, including typhoid fever (1861), cholera (1847), and farm injuries. Gans also routinely attended childbirths. His treatments included blistering, bleeding, venesection, lancing, and operating as well as administering medicine and pills. In return for his services, Gans routinely accepted farm produce, labor on his farm, and other useful items such as shingles. He went on to serve as an assistant surgeon in the Civil War.","This is a ledger of an Elizabeth, PA, glass manufacturer's accounts with his workers. The manufacturer ran some type of company store, and the ledger thus includes debits for cash and merchandise received by the workers and credits for the various types of labor performed, including glass blowing, teasing, cutting, coal mining, blacksmithing, and box making. In addition, the ledger includes the manufacturer's accounts with a boarding house owner for boarding his workers and with a local merchant who supplied the company store. In general, the ledger provides insights into the earnings of mid-19th century artisans as well as the operation of a small, rural glass-making establishment.","This consignment book documents commodity prices and the wide variety of goods received by a Wheeling commission merchant house during the 1830s. It also provides insights into the local industrial development, since the commission merchants routinely received goods on consignment from local manufacturers, such as the German Manufacturing Company (textiles). At the beginning of the book, there is evidence that the firm engaged a peddler to make trips in 1830, and the commission house also conducted auctions during the 1830s.","Moses Chapline was a prominent citizen in Wheeling, at various times an attorney, a general store owner, and in the 1830s, mayor. This daybook documents the daily trade at his store during 1845. Included are entries for purchases of a wide variety of goods as well as entries for store expenses, such as insurance, soap, and transportation. The A. Loring who appears frequently throughout was probably Alonzo Loring, a clerk at the store.","Harry Hood and Company was a retail meat and dairy market in Fairmont, WV. This ledger covers the last few months of 1906 and the first months of 1907. It documents purchases of meat from wholesale producers, such as Armour and Company, and sales of meat to local businesses and individuals in Fairmont. Transactions are typically listed only as \"merchandise,\" making it difficult to glean any information concerning prices or consumption patterns. The ledger is used only for the first 150 of its 500 pages, and the business does not appear in the Polk business directory of 1906-1907, suggesting the possibility that it folded some time in 1907.","This ledger documents a general store in Tyler County, probably near Middlebourne, the county seat. Although fairly routine entries characterize customer purchases, the volume also documents purchases from wholesale merchants, beginning on page 251. Included are such firms as Hubbard and Paull, and Jos. Speidel, both of Wheeling; Ed Roome of Sistersville; and Burgunder Brothers and Company, of Columbus, Ohio. Also, the ledger often lists the occupations of the store's customers. Included are John Gates, an oil rig builder (reflecting the emergence of the local oil business) and a number of customers connected to a local woolen mill.","John Gallaher, Christian Ansbrutz, and Caleb Bleakmor started a general store partnership in 1853. Prior to that date, Gallaher operated a store in Moundsville, which is documented in the first 90 pages of the daybook. The daybook follows the partnership for only six months (until September 1853), but then another Moundsville general store (involving Bleakmor) used the daybook during 1856. In the 1850 census, Bleakmor was listed as a constable, age 49, born in Maryland; and Ansbrutz was listed as a miller, age 47, born in France, worth $23,000. Only Gallaher, a 53-year-old Irishman worth $12,000, was listed as a merchant. From the evidence in the daybook, it appears that the partnership was short-lived.","This series includes ephemera, sheet music, booklets, pamphlets, and correspondence. Additional miscellaneous printed material can be found in Series 17, Oversize.","  Box 18 includes calendars, sheet music, notecards, and printed material related to West Virginia history. The notecards include screen printed notecards from Wolf Creek Printery in Alderson, WV (1976). The history printed material includes a booklet entitled  Wheeling Bicentennial, 1769-1969  (1969?).","  Box 19 includes West Virginia serial publications and magazines, as well as printed material about West Virginia schools and locations. Highlights include three issues of  The Searchlight , a serial about education (two published in Summersville, WV [1895-1896], and one published in Fayetteville, WV [1899]); an issue of  The Mikrophone: Devoted to Religion, Morality, and Temperance  (published in Highland, WV, by D.H. Davis, 1906); Scottish Rite pamphlets (published in Wheeling, 1910-1917); the Richwood High School Class of 1940 reunion program (1960); Craigsville Grade School's first yearbook (1973); and  Mountaineer Spirit , a WVU student magazine featuring an article about Jim Comstock (1968).","  Box 20 includes non-West Virginia serial publications and magazines.

Some of the letters are written\n         in French but the majority of them are in English. During the\n         1720s, Henry frequently advised Lewis to grow another crop\n         besides tobacco, saying that Europe could not consume all that\n         comes from America.
