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.

Lucy taught at Huntington High School from 1899-1913, and taught Latin and Classical Studies at Marshall College (now Marshall University) from 1914-1941. Marshall's Prichard Hall was named in her honor.","Louis Eckert Reed  (born October 1, 1899 in Wirt County, WV; died January 31, 1979 in Elizabeth, WV) served as a sergeant in the US Army during WWI, served as Administrative Assistant to Senator Chapman Revercomb, and worked as a prosecuting attorney in Wirt County, WV. He also wrote for  Atlantic Monthly .","James Franklin \"Jim\" Comstock  was born to Harry Clinton and Myrtle Blanche in Richwood, West Virginia on February 25, 1911. He married Miss Ola Stowers in Huntington, WV, on October 18, 1933; they would have two daughters, Sandra Ferguson and Elaine Nagy, and a son, Jay. In 1934, Comstock received B.A. from Marshall College (now Marshall University). From 1938-1942, he taught at Richwood High School and wrote for the  Clarksburg Telegram . He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and upon returning home he founded the  Nicholas County News Leader  (originally  News Letter ) with Bronson D. McClung (1920-2004), a former student of his. On December 25, 1963, the  Nicholas County News Leader  combined with  Nicholas Republican ; in 1984, it became the  Richwood News Leader . Comstock remained an active part of the paper till his death on May 22, 1996.\n \n In 1957, Comstock founded the weekly  West Virginia Hillbilly  with McClung, and became its editor. The paper included feature articles, columns of special interest to West Virginians, book notes, and the \"Comstock Load,\" the editor's own column on the back page. Comstock first tried to sell the  Hillbilly  in 1976. In 1981, he sold it to the South Charleston Publishing Company. On February 25, 1986, he repurchased and began resuscitating the  Hillbilly . 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.

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.

Washington letters;  two letters from Revolutionary War general Horatio Gates; and  a folder of letters written by famous 19th century figures including Samuel Clemens, Collis P. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Lucy taught at Huntington High School from 1899-1913, and taught Latin and Classical Studies at Marshall College (now Marshall University) from 1914-1941. Marshall's Prichard Hall was named in her honor.","Louis Eckert Reed  (born October 1, 1899 in Wirt County, WV; died January 31, 1979 in Elizabeth, WV) served as a sergeant in the US Army during WWI, served as Administrative Assistant to Senator Chapman Revercomb, and worked as a prosecuting attorney in Wirt County, WV. He also wrote for  Atlantic Monthly .","James Franklin \"Jim\" Comstock  was born to Harry Clinton and Myrtle Blanche in Richwood, West Virginia on February 25, 1911. He married Miss Ola Stowers in Huntington, WV, on October 18, 1933; they would have two daughters, Sandra Ferguson and Elaine Nagy, and a son, Jay. In 1934, Comstock received B.A. from Marshall College (now Marshall University). From 1938-1942, he taught at Richwood High School and wrote for the  Clarksburg Telegram . He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and upon returning home he founded the  Nicholas County News Leader  (originally  News Letter ) with Bronson D. McClung (1920-2004), a former student of his. On December 25, 1963, the  Nicholas County News Leader  combined with  Nicholas Republican ; in 1984, it became the  Richwood News Leader . Comstock remained an active part of the paper till his death on May 22, 1996.\n \n In 1957, Comstock founded the weekly  West Virginia Hillbilly  with McClung, and became its editor. The paper included feature articles, columns of special interest to West Virginians, book notes, and the \"Comstock Load,\" the editor's own column on the back page. Comstock first tried to sell the  Hillbilly  in 1976. In 1981, he sold it to the South Charleston Publishing Company. On February 25, 1986, he repurchased and began resuscitating the  Hillbilly . 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.

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.

Washington letters;  two letters from Revolutionary War general Horatio Gates; and  a folder of letters written by famous 19th century figures including Samuel Clemens, Collis P. 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Also,\n         there are business papers pertaining to black history; and, a\n         separate itemized listing has been compiled.","The legal papers contain many indentures, land grants and\n         plats/surveys for lands in \n          Essex County , \n          King and Queen County , and \n          Rappahannock County . These papers are\n         helpful in determining ownership of lands held by the Latane\n         Family, \n          Roane Family , \n          Allen Family , and \n          Dix Family . In addition, there are copies\n         of wills for members of the Latane, Roane, Allen, and Dix\n         families. The wills also contain references to the division of\n         blacks among the families.","There are also genealogical, military, and religious\n         material. The military papers, 1814-1828, pertain chiefly to\n         James Allen's career as captain in the Virginia militia and\n         include abstracts of forage, regimental orders, receipt for\n         arms, detailed returns of arms accoutrements, and rosters of\n         officers and other personnel. Among the miscellaneous papers\n         is a small group of material concerning religious matters,\n         particularly having to do with \n          South Farnham Parish in Essex County.\n         Included are a letter, December 17, 1716, from \n          Alexander Spotswood to the vestry of the\n         parish re their decision to suspend \n          Lewis Latane from his ministerial office;\n         a hymn book belonging to \n          John Latane ; and, two letters about the\n         weakening of the Church in Virginia."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eSee the \n            \u003cextref type=\"simple\" href=\"https://www.library.virginia.edu/policies/use-of-materials\"\u003e\n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.\u003c/extref\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"],"userestrict_heading_ssm":["Use Restrictions"],"userestrict_tesim":["See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy."],"physloc_html_tesm":["\u003cphysloc/\u003e"],"physloc_tesim":[""],"names_ssim":["University of Virginia.

Those relationships are documented when known.","The Manuscripts Artifact Collection includes artifacts from a variety of personal papers and organizational records collections, as well as items acquired individually."," Images of a growing number of artifacts are available through the SCRC's Flickr account at","","Artifacts originally created to define space for human activities or to be used as components of space-defining artifacts.","Artifacts originally created as part of a building's fabric. Although building components are distinct objects, they function as parts of larger structures rather than as independent units. Building components can be separate, distinct, and generally interchangeable structural, functional, or decorative parts of buildings such as beams, sinks, or architectural ornaments. This classification also includes architectural samples integral to buildings, such as wall sections, staircases, or porches, as well as certain whole-structure building system components such as ventilators or furnaces. Excluded from this classification are parts of buildings that are not integral parts of the structure, such as furnishings or lighting devices, which are included in the Furnishings category","Structures and other artifacts originally created to serve as space-defining internal or external architectural building components","Artifacts originally created to block passage, prohibit movement, shield dangerous situations, protect or cover openings, or otherwise serve as barriers in or on structures","Artifacts originally created for use in the construction of structures. This sub-classification includes masonry units, such as bricks or stone, and ancillary materials such as plaster, flashing, or lath","Artifacts that are integral to structures and were originally created to transport humans, goods, or materials from one location in the structure to another. This sub-classification also includes equipment and accessories that serve as parts of building conveyance systems.","Artifacts originally created to serve as doors, windows(whether fixed or moveable), or components thereof, or to act as structural elements to complete openings.  They may serve as coverings, operating mechanism components, or accessories for doors or windows.  This sub-classification does not include finish hardware such as knockers, kick plates, sash lifts, or shutter dogs.","Artifacts originally created to modify the environment of structures through mechanical means, whether as individual units or as a part of systems. Environmental control components regulate heating, cooling, humidification, or ventilation. Portable equipment and equipment meant to heat or cool part of a structure are listed in Temperature Control Equipment.","Artifacts, usually made of metal, originally created to be visible, functional, and often decorative elements for the interior or exterior of buildings. This sub-classification includes doorway accessories such as doorknobs, widow accessories such as sash lifts or shutter dogs, and other artifacts such as brackets, strap hinges, or escutcheons.","Artifacts originally created to serve as built-in receptacles for waste, as vessel or spaces for containing or dispensing water for sanitary needs, or as a means of dispensing water for drinking. Plumbing and Drainage Elements also treat water, facilitate or regulate the movement of water and sewage withing structures, or transport unwanted water from one location to another, either through mechanical or gravitational means.","Artifacts originally created as rooftop structures or structural elements or as architectural ornamentation for roofs.","Artifacts originally created as structural or decorative components of staircases, whether rough and concealed or decorative and visible","Artifacts originally created to serve as structural elements for walls, ceilings, or floors. Some supporting elements may also serve as architectural ornamentation.","Artifacts originally created as finishing elements in buildings, whether indoor or outdoor. Surface elements serve as permanent wall, floor, ceiling, or roof coverings, or as decorative trim.","White ceramic tile owned by J. Palin Thorley depicting a face in relief. Tile measures .25 in.

Mss1996.62.A09","Artifacts originally created as distinct elements associated with sites, buildings, or parts of larger structures. Rather than functioning simply as parts of larger structures, site features are independent entities that complement other structures. This classification includes such artifacts as birdbaths, flagpoles, gates, and fences.","Artifacts originally created to provide or define a space for human activities. Structures may be permanent, portable, climate-controlled, or open-air, and can be used for a variety of purposes including ceremonial, agricultural, recreational, commercial, cultural, civic, industrial, and social. Architectural samples, integral to buildings such as wall sections, as well as separable, distinct, and interchangeable components, such as doorknobs or widow sashes, are included in Building Components.","Structures originally created for such agricultural purposes as housing animals, storing grains and farm implements, practicing animal husbandry, and processing plant and animal products. Structures used in the commercial processing of agricultural products are included in Industrial Structures. Agricultural Structures are not for public use or human habitation.","Structures originally created for ceremonial activities such as conducting religious services or preparing or housing the remains of the dead. Such structures may also provide space for devotional activities, such as those associated with holy objects, or offer shelter for transformative practices or traditional rituals such as tea ceremonies. This sub-classification does not include structures for human habitation or for ceremonial activities conducted by social organizations.","Structures originally created to be used by governmental entities or community organizations for such purposes as governance activities, mail distribution, public safety, or social activities. This sub-classification also includes structures used by trade, fraternal, professional, or special-interest groups or associations for such organizational purposes as conducting meetings or ceremonies or housing group-related artifacts such as regalia or records.","Structures originally created for the selling, exchanging, or housing of goods and services.

Also included are structures that provide space for sporting or entertainment activities, usually for groups and occasionally for individuals.","Structures originally created for such defensive purposes as storing armament and munitions, sheltering personnel, or providing fortified observational posts capable of facilitating or resisting attacks.","Residential structures originally created for long-term habitation rather than temporary housing. Dwellings are considered homes, places where domestic activities are conducted and personal effects are stored","Structures originally created to collect, convey, regulate, or contain water for distribution, flood control, or power generation.","Structures and complexes originally created for the extraction and processing of raw materials, the generation of power, the manufacture of goods, or the housing of industrial machinery.","Buildings originally created for such institutional purposes as health and welfare services, educational instruction, or corrections.","Buildings originally created for specific domestic activities such as baking or washing or for the storage of residential equipment and materials needed for domestic activities. Outbuildings are generally secondary structures adjacent to or nearby a dwelling or farm complex.","Structures and complexes originally created to facilitate the transportation of people and things. Such structures provide embarkation and debarkation points, allow passage from one point to another, house conveyance equipment, or serve as collection facilities for fares or tolls.","Structures that do not meet the definitions of this classification's other sub-classifications","Artifacts originally created to facilitate human activity and to provide for the physical needs of people, generally by offering comfort, convenience, or protection.  Clothing is excluded from this category as it addresses only the needs of a specific individual.  Furnishing are not artifacts used as active agents in other processes, such as artifacts used as tools or equipment; they passively enable human activity.","Artifacts, usually soft furnishings, originally created to provide support for sleeping or to accessorize a bed. This classification does not include beds and bed components, which are included in Furniture.","Artifacts originally created as portable or temporary coverings for indoor or outdoor floors. This classification includes rugs and carpeting but not permanently attached tile or linoleum, which are included in Building Components","Artifacts originally created to answer the physical requirements and comforts of people in their living and work spaces. This classification includes desks, tables, beds, chairs, and outdoor furniture, but it excludes appliances and tools such as washing machines and ladders.","Matched groupings of artifacts originally created to meet the basic furniture needs of a specific area such as a nursery or bedroom. Note: Other terms also may be used to represent specific set components from other Furniture sub-classifications, e.g., Seating Furniture, Supporting Furniture","Artifacts originally created to allow one or more persons to sit upon or support a portion of their body, as is the case of foot-stools. Seating furniture includes both indoor and outdoor furniture and may be stationary pieces such as slipper chairs or allow for some movement such as rocking chairs. This classification includes upright furniture that adjusts to a reclining position, but non-adjustable furniture that is designed for reclining is included in Sleeping and Reclining Furniture.","Artifacts originally created to allow one or more persons to lay down or recline. Component parts of beds such as headboards and footboards are also included in this sub-classification.","Artifacts originally created to store, protect, and sometimes display items by means of an encasement with such features as shelves, drawers, cubbyholes, and doors. This sub-classification does not include furniture created to store food, which is listed in Food Storage Equipment.","Artifacts originally created to support and sometimes store or display items without encasement, to function as steps, or to serve as horizontal surfaces for such activities as working or dining","Artifacts that do not meet the definitions of this classification's other sub-classifications. This sub-classification includes such artifacts as mirrors or screens","Artifacts originally created to be placed in or around a building for the convenience of people to enhance, complement, or facilitate the maintenance of their environment. This classification includes: small furnishings, such as card receivers; non-furniture artifacts used for storage and display, such as boxes; and objects that protect furniture such as antimacassars.

Mss1996.62.A10","This item is an example of a Chatelaine, a piece of functional jewlelry that gained popularity starting in the 18th century. The word Chatelaine was originially used to describe the lady of the castle. These ladies would be dressed in clothing that did not have pockets. In order to carry around any items they may need around the castle the ladies wore metal hooks on their waist from which they suspended things like keys, scissors, and thimbles with small chains. Chatelaines could range from the mundane to the spectacular. Some were encrusted with jewels or filigree. Beginning in the 19th century, the Chatelaine became a popular fashion item due to easy mechanical manufacturing. Both men and women now wore them with an assortment of items from knives to perfume to eyeglasses hanging from them. For women of the time, their crinoline dresses would have helped disguise the bulk of the items, but the weight was considerable. This particular piece is estimated to date to around the 1850s, although no identifying marking could be located on it. The main piece of the Chatelaine is the clip, which is adorned here with a small bird on a tree building a nest. The clip then has five connection points for chains. The five chains on this piece are made with circular links alternated with thicker three banded links. At the end of three of the chains are small hooks, with one additional chain missing its hook. The last chain terminates with a springsteel keyring. The main body of the piece is brass with silver plating, and the whole piece is covered in a pot metal coating. It is thought that this piece may be of German origin; however, Chatelaines were quite popular in Britain during this time period as well, and without the presence of any manufacturing marks, the exact date and origin of this piece are hard to determine.

This particular box was manufactured by the Old Virginia Cheroots Company, and is interesting because it includes a dropfront. The dropfront would allow the storeowner to display the cigars in the actual box. This however required that the lid be hinged, as this one is. One can even see the remnants of the ribbon used to hold the lid from falling when opened. Most owners eneded up nailing dropfront boxes to make them more useable, making boxes which retain their original dropfront slightly more rare. The lid of the box shows a pricing of 3 for 5 Cents, and is crossed by an official Tobacco stamp to prove the proper taxes and fees had been paid, The mascot for the company is an elderly black man, and his image takes center space on the lid. Attached to the lid is what appears to be a promotional notice that says six five cent packages of Sweet Caporal Cigarettes are included free.

This naptha-fueled lighter was carried by soldiers on all sides during WWI. The lighter is composed of three main sections. First we have the flint wheel, which is connected to the lighter and includes a knurled knob at one end with which a steel spring could be raised higher if the flint began to wear down. The second major component is the body of the lighter, a cylinder which would have ended in a small keyring (which is no longer present). The last major component is the wick, which is made of a yellow fiber and is connected to a chain which ends in a tiny metal ball. To extinguish the flames on these lighters the keyring on the bottom would be pulled, pulling the wick into the naptha, but closing off the air supply with the tiny metal ball. The lighter is heavily rusted, but the flint wheel can still be spun, a rarity in lighters of this age. This lighter was likely the personal possession of Channing M. Hall.

The term aide-mémoire was used to descirbe a small notepad or book which one carried in order to remember important dates, events, etc. The cases of the Memoires are composed of a silvery lustrous metal. On the front of the Memoire are three raised emblems. The central emblem is that of the U.S. Naval Academy. In the lower right hand corner is another naval symbol, with an eagle perched ona ships wheel with crossed sword behind. In the upper left hand corner is yet another naval symbol of an eagle perched on a ship's bell with crossed oars behind it. One of the most intriguing aspects of these pieces is the closing mechanism. A small metal pencil is attached to the right hand side of the memoire. While the pencil is inserted, the book stays closed, but when removed it is \"unlocked'. The Penicls are mechanical and will dispense more graphite if twisted clockwise. The top spine of the memoire features a loop which is attached to a blue and gold cord (extant on only one of the aide-mémoires). The front of the book proper contains a small page commemorating the farewell ball, which took place at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The second page features a small color picture of a girl dressed in a navy pea coat carrying a small holly tree. The following pages are filled with the different dances that were played that night, as well as the title of the song and the composer. The owner of one of the aide-mémoires wrote down multiple \"Xs\" beneath the titles of the song, it is unknown what this was indicating. Later, the owner also writes several names down beneath the dances, probably the names of her partners. After the dance pages is another picture of a pea coat clad girl, but this time she's looking out of an open porthole. The next page lists all of the members of the Farewell Ball Committee. The last page reveals that the owner of the aide-mémoire was Emily M. Hall, and also gives her address. Subsequent pages are blank. Of the two notepads, the aide-mémoire with the tassle and writing within was clearly handled more. It shows some patina as well as a general dulling of the metal.

The NLWS was a volunteer organization based in the U.S. that became a valuable resource during WWI. The members of this group were sometimes part of the Motor Corps, which supplied drivers for things like ambulances and military supply trucks. With the ever growing transportation network of the NLWS the military became more efficient at moving troops and in the event of massive industrial accidents, the NLWS would provide the ambulances needed to save lives. Any woman wearing this pin, in or out of uniform, was considered to be acting on the behalf of the NLWS. This league was the only option for women looking for a way to contribute to the war effort.

The face of the coin features George Clinton, Governor of New York at the time and a personal freind to Thomas Machin, owwner of the mint which produced the coins. Machin's Mills, the mint which produced the majority of these coins, also produced counterfeit British coins. At the time (roughly 1787-1788) the mint at Machin's Mills began producing \"mules\" copies of British coins with either very basic copies of the reverse; or another pattern in use at the time (usually Vermont, Connecticut, or New York reverses). To keep out the prying eyes of children workers at the mint are said to have worn frightening masks to scare them away. The counterfeiting operation must have been somewhat successful because Machin's Mill lasted longer than even the official Mint of New York.

The company to which the State of Connecticut had initially offered its minting rights to was to produce around 1.4 Million Connecticut coppers from the copper that had been delivered by the State legislature. When the company was investigated, it was found that nearly 3 million coins had been produced underweight and were thus illegal. In addition to these now devalued coins, multiple counterfeits were also in circulation, mainly due to the efforts of James Atlee, a man who was tied to minting in Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. Many of the colorfully identified coins in this group, including so called, \"Laughing Head\" \"African Head\" and \"Mutton Head\" varieties are counterfeits of the legal version of Connecticut Coppers.

Unlike other states during the Confederation Period, Massachusettes developed a state mint rather than offering contracts to private organizations (which had resulted in counterfeiting in several other states). The design that was used for the face of the coins (that of an Indian with bow and arrows) was adopted from Militia buttons; the reverse of the coin features an eagle. The dies used for the 1787 and some 1788 coins were made by Joseph Callendar, a student of Paul Revere. Of particular interest in this group is a 1787 prototype of the cent. The reverse of the coin features the standard eagle, but the arrows appear in the left talon rather than the right, as it it featured in subsequent cents.

Like many of the other New England states, the state of New Jersey sold the rights to mint coppers to a company of private individuals. Just as in the case of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont; New Jersey's private mint soon found itself split by internal strife and a lack of income. In the case of New Jersey the minting company split, with one comapny resorting to counterfeiting currency to remain financially solvent; while the other soon cold their equipment to Machin's Mint and dissolved. Nearly all of the coins bare the same face and reverse. The face shows the head of a horse, a plow beneath it, the date to the right, and the words NOVA CASAREA (the latin from which New Jersey derived its name.

The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil.

Grate halfpennies such as this one were minted as a part of a promotion for a fireplace grate manufacturing company. Another pair of interesting specimens are the North Wales Halfpennies. These halfpennies were minted in Birmingham as \"evasion tokens\", which were basically legal conterfeits.

Although Virgina had received Royal permission to mint coins in 1609, the colony had avoided doing so until 1773 when they again received express royal permission to do so. By 1773, however, attitudes towards British rule were worsening and revolution seemed likely. Because of the threat of war, colonists began hoarding any form of copper coinage they could find. When Colonial Williamsburg was restored 40 Virginia Half-pennies were recovered, revealing a continued use of the Virginia Half-Penny well into the post-Revolutionary era, despite the image of King George which appears on the face.

These two tags were standard issue to all members of the United States Military, following the British and French who introduced \"dog tags\" to their troops at the beginning of WWI.  Unlike their British and French counterparts, which were composed of fiber, the United States chose to make their identification tags out of aluminum, about the size of the silver dollar at the time. Two tags were issued to each soldier, with one tag to remain with the body after death and another to be taken for medical records and casualty processing. The tags are stamped identically, with the name of the enlisted (C.M. Hall), his rank (Leiutenant \"LT\"), his division (151 Field Artillery Division), as well as USA to indicate his country of origin.  In 1918, identification numbers were added to the tags; the absence of these numbers meant Lt. Hall was issued his tags prior to 1918. Both tags are on separate but connected chains (the second smaller chain was meant to make removal of one tag from a fallen soldier easier. This is in caontrast to the Germans, who preferred breakable tags, one half of which was used for casualty reporting). The chain is bronze in color and uses a spring loaded circular clasp.

Mss1996.62.A10\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis item is an example of a Chatelaine, a piece of functional jewlelry that gained popularity starting in the 18th century. The word Chatelaine was originially used to describe the lady of the castle. These ladies would be dressed in clothing that did not have pockets. In order to carry around any items they may need around the castle the ladies wore metal hooks on their waist from which they suspended things like keys, scissors, and thimbles with small chains. Chatelaines could range from the mundane to the spectacular. Some were encrusted with jewels or filigree. Beginning in the 19th century, the Chatelaine became a popular fashion item due to easy mechanical manufacturing. Both men and women now wore them with an assortment of items from knives to perfume to eyeglasses hanging from them. For women of the time, their crinoline dresses would have helped disguise the bulk of the items, but the weight was considerable. This particular piece is estimated to date to around the 1850s, although no identifying marking could be located on it. The main piece of the Chatelaine is the clip, which is adorned here with a small bird on a tree building a nest. The clip then has five connection points for chains. The five chains on this piece are made with circular links alternated with thicker three banded links. At the end of three of the chains are small hooks, with one additional chain missing its hook. The last chain terminates with a springsteel keyring. The main body of the piece is brass with silver plating, and the whole piece is covered in a pot metal coating. It is thought that this piece may be of German origin; however, Chatelaines were quite popular in Britain during this time period as well, and without the presence of any manufacturing marks, the exact date and origin of this piece are hard to determine.

The chain uses a pattern of two large oval links separated by five small circular links. The clasps on the chain are steel. On the longer section of the chain the clasp is a sort of sliding hoop, in which a section of the hoop is slid closed. The other looks like a lobster claw but actually opens and closes like hooked scissors. A 12in. section of the chain extends down to a four inch section separated from it by a triagular link.  A presumed purpose for the chain is for that of a monocle worn around the neck. The four inch section is where the monocle would be attached, giving some room for the wearer to place the monocle at their eye. The chain possibly dates to 1912. The chain is 16 in (length).

This particular box was manufactured by the Old Virginia Cheroots Company, and is interesting because it includes a dropfront. The dropfront would allow the storeowner to display the cigars in the actual box. This however required that the lid be hinged, as this one is. One can even see the remnants of the ribbon used to hold the lid from falling when opened. Most owners eneded up nailing dropfront boxes to make them more useable, making boxes which retain their original dropfront slightly more rare. The lid of the box shows a pricing of 3 for 5 Cents, and is crossed by an official Tobacco stamp to prove the proper taxes and fees had been paid, The mascot for the company is an elderly black man, and his image takes center space on the lid. Attached to the lid is what appears to be a promotional notice that says six five cent packages of Sweet Caporal Cigarettes are included free. The dropfront of the box warns consumers to beware imitations lacking their trademark and the signature of P. Whitlock. The bottom of the box was burnt with the stamp Factory No 85, 3d Dist. N.V. 250. This box can be seen alongside many other tobacco related items kept in the manuscripts artifacts collection. An image is available at https://www.flickr.com/photos/scrc/5766124998/.

The second major component is the body of the lighter, a cylinder which would have ended in a small keyring (which is no longer present). The last major component is the wick, which is made of a yellow fiber and is connected to a chain which ends in a tiny metal ball.

At the center of the front door are two flowers. The reverse of the case has a slightly different floral design with what appears to be space to inscribe initials. The front of the watch opens with the hinge at 9 o'clock. The face of the watch is white with black roman numerals for the hours. The hour hand is metal, perhaps gold. The minute hand is black metal and appears slightly bent. There is a smaller chronograph inset at 6 o'clock which uses standard numerals to time seconds. The inside of the case is stamped with the letters \"C\u0026amp;E.T.\" along with what appears to be two stylized \"D\"s flanking a third unreadable letter. The case is also stamped with the number 7595. The rear door to the case opens off of a different hinge. The back of the watch has one hold for a winding key, but no inscriptions of any sort. The rear of the case is stamped with the same letters and numbers, as well as an additional tiny inscription which reads \"D 1640\" and appears to have been done by hand. The fob for this watch is gold metallic, although whether it is and if so what karat is undeterminable. The fob features a ring at the top connected to a small metal oval that encompasses a tiny shaft. In that tiny shaft a spring can be seen, although its purpose cannot be determined. The fob then extends down to a swiveling piece of translucent enamel or cut stone. The reverse of the stone has been etched with tiny letters which read [Quod Petis Hic Est] (What you seek is here, ie. you already have happiness- Horace) and perhaps initials of some sort above laurels. On one side of the frame of the stone piece has a tiny hole which matches with the spring, although it is unknown what the function was. Transferred from the William Short Papers, (Mss 39.2Sh9).

Whistles were issued to men in the treches during WWI in order to serve as a means of communication. Officers would be briefed on a large coordinated attack, and then at the appropriate time would blow their whistles to alert everyone within earshot to charge over the trench. These whistles were one of the only reliable forms of organizing an attack in mass because of the ability to intercept radio and the need for telegraph lines to be laid to facilitate communication in that manner.

The term aide-mémoire was used to descirbe a small notepad or book which one carried in order to remember important dates, events, etc. The cases of the Memoires are composed of a silvery lustrous metal. On the front of the Memoire are three raised emblems. The central emblem is that of the U.S. Naval Academy. In the lower right hand corner is another naval symbol, with an eagle perched ona ships wheel with crossed sword behind. In the upper left hand corner is yet another naval symbol of an eagle perched on a ship's bell with crossed oars behind it. One of the most intriguing aspects of these pieces is the closing mechanism. A small metal pencil is attached to the right hand side of the memoire. While the pencil is inserted, the book stays closed, but when removed it is \"unlocked'. The Penicls are mechanical and will dispense more graphite if twisted clockwise. The top spine of the memoire features a loop which is attached to a blue and gold cord (extant on only one of the aide-mémoires). The front of the book proper contains a small page commemorating the farewell ball, which took place at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The second page features a small color picture of a girl dressed in a navy pea coat carrying a small holly tree. The following pages are filled with the different dances that were played that night, as well as the title of the song and the composer. The owner of one of the aide-mémoires wrote down multiple \"Xs\" beneath the titles of the song, it is unknown what this was indicating. Later, the owner also writes several names down beneath the dances, probably the names of her partners. After the dance pages is another picture of a pea coat clad girl, but this time she's looking out of an open porthole. The next page lists all of the members of the Farewell Ball Committee. The last page reveals that the owner of the aide-mémoire was Emily M. Hall, and also gives her address. Subsequent pages are blank. Of the two notepads, the aide-mémoire with the tassle and writing within was clearly handled more. It shows some patina as well as a general dulling of the metal.

This particular leather includes a picture of the Rotunda and Lawn of the University of Virginia. The leather is orange and the image in silver with only minimal wear and tear. There is no indication on the front or back of the leather which Tobacco company produced it. It can be surmised that this leather was part of a series produced on colleges to entice students of those schools to buy a particular brand of tobacco. In addition to leather, flannel and silk were also used to target different demographics (Silk to women, leather to students, flannels would take on a fake Indian motif).

Silks become popular items to include, especially depicting baseball players or pleasant scenes. The silks increasingly targeted women in the 1920s, as they were rapidly becoming a large consumer base. Other materials like flannel and leather were also used as promotional tie ins. The workmanship on some of these freebies is astonishing. This particular piece is blue, white, and gold and was made to advertise the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. The bottom of the silk says Egyptienne Luxury, which reveals the brand that produced this silk. Egyptienne Luxury brand cigarettes produced several runs of collectible silks featuring themes like colleges, states, and even secret societies. The other end of the silk reveals that it was produced in New York. This item, along with an example of a tobacco leather can be found in the Manuscripts Artifacts Collection.

Perched atop the ring is an eagle with outstretched wings. A small decorative point hangs from the bottom of the ring. Two of the pins are backed with red, white, and blue ribbon that matches the ceremonial bars present on many military uniforms. The NLWS was a volunteer organization based in the U.S. that became a valuable resource during WWI. The members of this group were sometimes part of the Motor Corps, which supplied drivers for things like ambulances and military supply trucks. With the ever growing transportation network of the NLWS the military became more efficient at moving troops and in the event of massive industrial accidents, the NLWS would provide the ambulances needed to save lives. Any woman wearing this pin, in or out of uniform, was considered to be acting on the behalf of the NLWS. This league was the only option for women looking for a way to contribute to the war effort. Furthermore, the League provided women with the education necessary to keep traditionally male dominated services like telegraph and elevator operation running when the men went to war. Pins were owned by Sallie Munford Talbot, a Richmond woman who made the silk flag which flew over the Virginia Capitol until it was seized by Union Troops.

The group contains several notable pieces including an example of an extremely rare origninal George Clinton cent. The face of the coin features George Clinton, Governor of New York at the time and a personal freind to Thomas Machin, owwner of the mint which produced the coins. Machin's Mills, the mint which produced the majority of these coins, also produced counterfeit British coins. At the time (roughly 1787-1788) the mint at Machin's Mills began producing \"mules\" copies of British coins with either very basic copies of the reverse; or another pattern in use at the time (usually Vermont, Connecticut, or New York reverses). To keep out the prying eyes of children workers at the mint are said to have worn frightening masks to scare them away. The counterfeiting operation must have been somewhat successful because Machin's Mill lasted longer than even the official Mint of New York.

The company to which the State of Connecticut had initially offered its minting rights to was to produce around 1.4 Million Connecticut coppers from the copper that had been delivered by the State legislature. When the company was investigated, it was found that nearly 3 million coins had been produced underweight and were thus illegal. In addition to these now devalued coins, multiple counterfeits were also in circulation, mainly due to the efforts of James Atlee, a man who was tied to minting in Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. Many of the colorfully identified coins in this group, including so called, \"Laughing Head\" \"African Head\" and \"Mutton Head\" varieties are counterfeits of the legal version of Connecticut Coppers. The group also contains many example of legal Connecticut coinage including the \"Hercules Head\" variety.

Unlike other states during the Confederation Period, Massachusettes developed a state mint rather than offering contracts to private organizations (which had resulted in counterfeiting in several other states). The design that was used for the face of the coins (that of an Indian with bow and arrows) was adopted from Militia buttons; the reverse of the coin features an eagle. The dies used for the 1787 and some 1788 coins were made by Joseph Callendar, a student of Paul Revere. Of particular interest in this group is a 1787 prototype of the cent. The reverse of the coin features the standard eagle, but the arrows appear in the left talon rather than the right, as it it featured in subsequent cents. Also included in this group is a 1788 Cent whose reverse has been retooled to be a tree, a reverse which can be found on the replicas of the 1776 halfpenny included with this group.

Like many of the other New England states, the state of New Jersey sold the rights to mint coppers to a company of private individuals. Just as in the case of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont; New Jersey's private mint soon found itself split by internal strife and a lack of income. In the case of New Jersey the minting company split, with one comapny resorting to counterfeiting currency to remain financially solvent; while the other soon cold their equipment to Machin's Mint and dissolved. Nearly all of the coins bare the same face and reverse. The face shows the head of a horse, a plow beneath it, the date to the right, and the words NOVA CASAREA (the latin from which New Jersey derived its name. The reverse of these coins feature a shield with 13 stripes surrounded by the familiar phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM. Two pieces of particular interest are F03, which is a normal New Jersey copper in about uncirculated condition. Another piece of interest is F21.

The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil.

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of William Pitt, supposedly based on sketches by Paul Revere; as well as the words, NO STAMPS THE RESTORER OF COMMERCE 1766. The reverse features an image of a ship bound for the word AMERICA, which is framed by the words THANKS TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND TRADE. The second piece, the Pitt farthing, features the same design, only slightly smaller. These tokens were minted in celebration of the repeal of the British Stamp Act. William Pitt had been a strong opponent of the Act and went so far as to accompany Benjamin Franklin to London to speak against the act in Parliament. Upon returning home, Pitt was hailed as a friend of Commerce, as was the King responsible for suppressing the Act, George III.

One interesting specimen is a 1795 Washington grate Halfpenny, which was minted and used in Britain at the time. Grate halfpennies such as this one were minted as a part of a promotion for a fireplace grate manufacturing company. Another pair of interesting specimens are the North Wales Halfpennies. These halfpennies were minted in Birmingham as \"evasion tokens\", which were basically legal conterfeits. Because counterfeiting in Britain was only illegal for Regal Coinage, counterfeiters could legally produce facsimiles of other coinage as \"tokens\" which would then be used in place of actual currency.

Although Virgina had received Royal permission to mint coins in 1609, the colony had avoided doing so until 1773 when they again received express royal permission to do so. By 1773, however, attitudes towards British rule were worsening and revolution seemed likely. Because of the threat of war, colonists began hoarding any form of copper coinage they could find. When Colonial Williamsburg was restored 40 Virginia Half-pennies were recovered, revealing a continued use of the Virginia Half-Penny well into the post-Revolutionary era, despite the image of King George which appears on the face.

The bottom left of the coat of arms features a harp, the top left a standing lion, the top right three fleur d'lis, the bottom right is indistinugishable. This Virginia Half-penny was minted in 1773 in London. Virginia was the only colony which had royal permission to mint coinage, which was issued in 1609. Until 1773, however, colonists had used tobacco as well as other imported coins and notes to make purchases. In 1773, the Virginia assembly voted to mint currency, which was delivered to Richmond but was not released because the assembly lacked a royal charter explicitly allowing them to do so. The charter was delivered a year later on the eve of the revolution, and the coins were promptly released. This first release of Virginia coins resulted in peolpe hoarding the coins due to the unsure outcome of the revolution. 24mm diameter. Very worn condition.

These two tags were standard issue to all members of the United States Military, following the British and French who introduced \"dog tags\" to their troops at the beginning of WWI.  Unlike their British and French counterparts, which were composed of fiber, the United States chose to make their identification tags out of aluminum, about the size of the silver dollar at the time. Two tags were issued to each soldier, with one tag to remain with the body after death and another to be taken for medical records and casualty processing. The tags are stamped identically, with the name of the enlisted (C.M. Hall), his rank (Leiutenant \"LT\"), his division (151 Field Artillery Division), as well as USA to indicate his country of origin.  In 1918, identification numbers were added to the tags; the absence of these numbers meant Lt. Hall was issued his tags prior to 1918. Both tags are on separate but connected chains (the second smaller chain was meant to make removal of one tag from a fallen soldier easier. This is in caontrast to the Germans, who preferred breakable tags, one half of which was used for casualty reporting). The chain is bronze in color and uses a spring loaded circular clasp. Tags such as these were hand stamped which accounts for the uneven impression of the letter C compared to the rest of Lt. Hall's name.  These tags are in worn condition.

This classification includes equipment used in all forms of athletic games, including individual and team sports. Sports and their specialized equipment have proliferated over the years. Object groupings in this classification focus on th most popular sports while not attempting to be encyclopedic. Object terms seek to cover the forms that are the most familiar and most likely to be part of museum collections. If a specific term is not listed, consider using the broader \"Gear\" term. terms covering practice, warm-up, and exercise equipment can be found in Recreational Devices. Note: The word \"Gear,\" employed in many of the primary object terms below, suggests a plural connotation even though Nomenclature object terms are in the sigular.

The facial features of the doll have been painted on, leaving her with red lips, rosy cheeks, and blue eyes. Unfortunately, the arms have broken off of the doll at about elbow level.

The back of the doll reveals a tiny puncture which may have been a result of the molding process. Without any distinguishing or identifying markings the doll's origins are difficult to determine.

Mss1996.62.A10","This item is an example of a Chatelaine, a piece of functional jewlelry that gained popularity starting in the 18th century. The word Chatelaine was originially used to describe the lady of the castle. These ladies would be dressed in clothing that did not have pockets. In order to carry around any items they may need around the castle the ladies wore metal hooks on their waist from which they suspended things like keys, scissors, and thimbles with small chains. Chatelaines could range from the mundane to the spectacular. Some were encrusted with jewels or filigree. Beginning in the 19th century, the Chatelaine became a popular fashion item due to easy mechanical manufacturing. Both men and women now wore them with an assortment of items from knives to perfume to eyeglasses hanging from them. For women of the time, their crinoline dresses would have helped disguise the bulk of the items, but the weight was considerable. This particular piece is estimated to date to around the 1850s, although no identifying marking could be located on it. The main piece of the Chatelaine is the clip, which is adorned here with a small bird on a tree building a nest. The clip then has five connection points for chains. The five chains on this piece are made with circular links alternated with thicker three banded links. At the end of three of the chains are small hooks, with one additional chain missing its hook. The last chain terminates with a springsteel keyring. The main body of the piece is brass with silver plating, and the whole piece is covered in a pot metal coating. It is thought that this piece may be of German origin; however, Chatelaines were quite popular in Britain during this time period as well, and without the presence of any manufacturing marks, the exact date and origin of this piece are hard to determine.

The chain uses a pattern of two large oval links separated by five small circular links. The clasps on the chain are steel. On the longer section of the chain the clasp is a sort of sliding hoop, in which a section of the hoop is slid closed. The other looks like a lobster claw but actually opens and closes like hooked scissors. A 12in. section of the chain extends down to a four inch section separated from it by a triagular link.  A presumed purpose for the chain is for that of a monocle worn around the neck. The four inch section is where the monocle would be attached, giving some room for the wearer to place the monocle at their eye. The chain possibly dates to 1912. The chain is 16 in (length).

This particular box was manufactured by the Old Virginia Cheroots Company, and is interesting because it includes a dropfront. The dropfront would allow the storeowner to display the cigars in the actual box. This however required that the lid be hinged, as this one is. One can even see the remnants of the ribbon used to hold the lid from falling when opened. Most owners eneded up nailing dropfront boxes to make them more useable, making boxes which retain their original dropfront slightly more rare. The lid of the box shows a pricing of 3 for 5 Cents, and is crossed by an official Tobacco stamp to prove the proper taxes and fees had been paid, The mascot for the company is an elderly black man, and his image takes center space on the lid. Attached to the lid is what appears to be a promotional notice that says six five cent packages of Sweet Caporal Cigarettes are included free. The dropfront of the box warns consumers to beware imitations lacking their trademark and the signature of P. Whitlock. The bottom of the box was burnt with the stamp Factory No 85, 3d Dist.

The term aide-mémoire was used to descirbe a small notepad or book which one carried in order to remember important dates, events, etc. The cases of the Memoires are composed of a silvery lustrous metal. On the front of the Memoire are three raised emblems. The central emblem is that of the U.S. Naval Academy. In the lower right hand corner is another naval symbol, with an eagle perched ona ships wheel with crossed sword behind. In the upper left hand corner is yet another naval symbol of an eagle perched on a ship's bell with crossed oars behind it. One of the most intriguing aspects of these pieces is the closing mechanism. A small metal pencil is attached to the right hand side of the memoire. While the pencil is inserted, the book stays closed, but when removed it is \"unlocked'. The Penicls are mechanical and will dispense more graphite if twisted clockwise. The top spine of the memoire features a loop which is attached to a blue and gold cord (extant on only one of the aide-mémoires). The front of the book proper contains a small page commemorating the farewell ball, which took place at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The second page features a small color picture of a girl dressed in a navy pea coat carrying a small holly tree. The following pages are filled with the different dances that were played that night, as well as the title of the song and the composer. The owner of one of the aide-mémoires wrote down multiple \"Xs\" beneath the titles of the song, it is unknown what this was indicating. Later, the owner also writes several names down beneath the dances, probably the names of her partners. After the dance pages is another picture of a pea coat clad girl, but this time she's looking out of an open porthole. The next page lists all of the members of the Farewell Ball Committee. The last page reveals that the owner of the aide-mémoire was Emily M. Hall, and also gives her address. Subsequent pages are blank. Of the two notepads, the aide-mémoire with the tassle and writing within was clearly handled more. It shows some patina as well as a general dulling of the metal. The second aide-mémoire shows little signs of aging save some patina near the hinge. Transferred from the Hall Family Papers (Mss. 90 H14). Located in Dec Obj S2 SS2, Box 3.

This particular leather includes a picture of the Rotunda and Lawn of the University of Virginia. The leather is orange and the image in silver with only minimal wear and tear. There is no indication on the front or back of the leather which Tobacco company produced it. It can be surmised that this leather was part of a series produced on colleges to entice students of those schools to buy a particular brand of tobacco.

Silks become popular items to include, especially depicting baseball players or pleasant scenes. The silks increasingly targeted women in the 1920s, as they were rapidly becoming a large consumer base. Other materials like flannel and leather were also used as promotional tie ins.

The NLWS was a volunteer organization based in the U.S. that became a valuable resource during WWI. The members of this group were sometimes part of the Motor Corps, which supplied drivers for things like ambulances and military supply trucks. With the ever growing transportation network of the NLWS the military became more efficient at moving troops and in the event of massive industrial accidents, the NLWS would provide the ambulances needed to save lives. Any woman wearing this pin, in or out of uniform, was considered to be acting on the behalf of the NLWS. This league was the only option for women looking for a way to contribute to the war effort.

The face of the coin features George Clinton, Governor of New York at the time and a personal freind to Thomas Machin, owwner of the mint which produced the coins. Machin's Mills, the mint which produced the majority of these coins, also produced counterfeit British coins. At the time (roughly 1787-1788) the mint at Machin's Mills began producing \"mules\" copies of British coins with either very basic copies of the reverse; or another pattern in use at the time (usually Vermont, Connecticut, or New York reverses). To keep out the prying eyes of children workers at the mint are said to have worn frightening masks to scare them away. The counterfeiting operation must have been somewhat successful because Machin's Mill lasted longer than even the official Mint of New York.

The company to which the State of Connecticut had initially offered its minting rights to was to produce around 1.4 Million Connecticut coppers from the copper that had been delivered by the State legislature. When the company was investigated, it was found that nearly 3 million coins had been produced underweight and were thus illegal. In addition to these now devalued coins, multiple counterfeits were also in circulation, mainly due to the efforts of James Atlee, a man who was tied to minting in Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. Many of the colorfully identified coins in this group, including so called, \"Laughing Head\" \"African Head\" and \"Mutton Head\" varieties are counterfeits of the legal version of Connecticut Coppers. The group also contains many example of legal Connecticut coinage including the \"Hercules Head\" variety.

Unlike other states during the Confederation Period, Massachusettes developed a state mint rather than offering contracts to private organizations (which had resulted in counterfeiting in several other states). The design that was used for the face of the coins (that of an Indian with bow and arrows) was adopted from Militia buttons; the reverse of the coin features an eagle. The dies used for the 1787 and some 1788 coins were made by Joseph Callendar, a student of Paul Revere. Of particular interest in this group is a 1787 prototype of the cent. The reverse of the coin features the standard eagle, but the arrows appear in the left talon rather than the right, as it it featured in subsequent cents. Also included in this group is a 1788 Cent whose reverse has been retooled to be a tree, a reverse which can be found on the replicas of the 1776 halfpenny included with this group.

Like many of the other New England states, the state of New Jersey sold the rights to mint coppers to a company of private individuals. Just as in the case of New York, Connecticut, and Vermont; New Jersey's private mint soon found itself split by internal strife and a lack of income. In the case of New Jersey the minting company split, with one comapny resorting to counterfeiting currency to remain financially solvent; while the other soon cold their equipment to Machin's Mint and dissolved. Nearly all of the coins bare the same face and reverse. The face shows the head of a horse, a plow beneath it, the date to the right, and the words NOVA CASAREA (the latin from which New Jersey derived its name. The reverse of these coins feature a shield with 13 stripes surrounded by the familiar phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM. Two pieces of particular interest are F03, which is a normal New Jersey copper in about uncirculated condition. Another piece of interest is F21.

The 1739 8 Reales coin is a cast of a \"Pillar\" type coin, so named for the two pillars on the obverse, not a period orignial. Two slides are also included with the cast. Another coin in this collection is the 1861 8 Reales coin. This original coin was minted in Guatemala and bares a portrait of Ferdinand VII on the obverse with the words DEI GRATIA (By the Grace of God). The reverse shows the two Pillars of Hercules surrounding the Spanish Crown and Coat of Arms, as well as the words HISPANIA ET IND REX (Ruler of Spain and the Indies). The coin is in good condition. One of the oldest coins in this collection is a 4 Reales coin, which was minted in Mexico City and dates to the Rule of Charles I of Spain. Charles united the kingdoms of Castille and Aragon into the Spanish empire, which was built on the wealth of the New World. The obverse features the Pillars of Hercules surrounding the number 4, which reveals the coin's denomination. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castille and Leon; but not the coat of unified Spain which also features the heraldic symbols of Aragon and Navarre. This is typical of coins minted during this period, as Charles' mother, Joanna, was the Queen regent. It is in worn condition. The final coin in this group is an 8 reales coin, which is most likely a forgery. This 8 Reales coin appears to date from the reign of Philip II, but the reverse of the coin may reveal a different origin. The reverse features a representation of the Arms of Castile and Leon, but unlike the actual coat of arms featured on real Spanish coinage of the period, the lion and castle featured on the arms are reversed. Rather than having the lion in the lower left and upper right corners, they are in the lower right and upper left. The coin is marked with a visible P, indicating an origin in Lima, Peru or Potosi, Brazil. This inconsistency is not found on any other coins of this period minted in Peru or Potosi during this period.

The first is a Pitt half-penny dating to 1766.

The reverse features an image of a ship bound for the word AMERICA, which is framed by the words THANKS TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND TRADE. The second piece, the Pitt farthing, features the same design, only slightly smaller. These tokens were minted in celebration of the repeal of the British Stamp Act. William Pitt had been a strong opponent of the Act and went so far as to accompany Benjamin Franklin to London to speak against the act in Parliament. Upon returning home, Pitt was hailed as a friend of Commerce, as was the King responsible for suppressing the Act, George III.

One interesting specimen is a 1795 Washington grate Halfpenny, which was minted and used in Britain at the time. Grate halfpennies such as this one were minted as a part of a promotion for a fireplace grate manufacturing company. Another pair of interesting specimens are the North Wales Halfpennies. These halfpennies were minted in Birmingham as \"evasion tokens\", which were basically legal conterfeits. Because counterfeiting in Britain was only illegal for Regal Coinage, counterfeiters could legally produce facsimiles of other coinage as \"tokens\" which would then be used in place of actual currency.

Although Virgina had received Royal permission to mint coins in 1609, the colony had avoided doing so until 1773 when they again received express royal permission to do so. By 1773, however, attitudes towards British rule were worsening and revolution seemed likely. Because of the threat of war, colonists began hoarding any form of copper coinage they could find. When Colonial Williamsburg was restored 40 Virginia Half-pennies were recovered, revealing a continued use of the Virginia Half-Penny well into the post-Revolutionary era, despite the image of King George which appears on the face.

Rather than continue with two redundant denominations, the Government decided to scrap the silver Half Dime. All in good condition. Gift of Chris Vinyard.

The obverse of the coin features a six sided star with a tiny shield within it. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircle the coin. The reverse features a stylized crescent which surrounds the Roman numeral III. Like Canadian half dime, these 3 cent pieces were called \"fish scales\" while in circulation due to their light weight and small size. The need for a 3 cent coin arose when postage rates were lowered from 5 to three cents, but when postage rates were again lowered to 2 cents, the need for the 3 cent piece was decreasing. Coupled with the fact that it had a similar diameter to the dime, the 3 cent piece was pulled from circulation by the turn of the century. 14mm. Worn, but some text and images can still be made out.

These two tags were standard issue to all members of the United States Military, following the British and French who introduced \"dog tags\" to their troops at the beginning of WWI.  Unlike their British and French counterparts, which were composed of fiber, the United States chose to make their identification tags out of aluminum, about the size of the silver dollar at the time. Two tags were issued to each soldier, with one tag to remain with the body after death and another to be taken for medical records and casualty processing. The tags are stamped identically, with the name of the enlisted (C.M. Hall), his rank (Leiutenant \"LT\"), his division (151 Field Artillery Division), as well as USA to indicate his country of origin.  In 1918, identification numbers were added to the tags; the absence of these numbers meant Lt. Hall was issued his tags prior to 1918. Both tags are on separate but connected chains (the second smaller chain was meant to make removal of one tag from a fallen soldier easier. This is in caontrast to the Germans, who preferred breakable tags, one half of which was used for casualty reporting). The chain is bronze in color and uses a spring loaded circular clasp.

This classification includes equipment used in all forms of athletic games, including individual and team sports. Sports and their specialized equipment have proliferated over the years. Object groupings in this classification focus on th most popular sports while not attempting to be encyclopedic. Object terms seek to cover the forms that are the most familiar and most likely to be part of museum collections. If a specific term is not listed, consider using the broader \"Gear\" term. terms covering practice, warm-up, and exercise equipment can be found in Recreational Devices. Note: The word \"Gear,\" employed in many of the primary object terms below, suggests a plural connotation even though Nomenclature object terms are in the sigular. The use of \"Gear\" as an object term (rather than as a sub-classification) provides the cataloger with terms that allow the indexing of an unlisted object or an object whose term is listed elsewhere with its associated sport.","Artifacts originally created as playthings. Toys often represent functional objects, such as toy teapots, or toy ships, or living things, such as baby dolls or stuffed animals. Toys also include objects developed primarily for play, such as balls, tops, or kites.

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n             Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n             Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America. \n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n            September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n            Brigadier General. \n                Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n            and captain of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n            Revolution. He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky. Later \n             Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n             Pearl River area of the \n             Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n            entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n            much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n            businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n            house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n            alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n             John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n             Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n             John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n             John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n             James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n            a member of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey team.

The series containing the papers of \n             James B. Baylor and the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey consists of the financial records of the\n            survey teams led by \n             John Baylor, circular letters from the\n            home office in \n             Washington, D.C., the official\n            correspondence and reports of \n             John Baylor, photographs, printed\n            material, \n             United States government property\n            inventories, and bound volumes. \n                James Bowen Baylor (1849-1924)\n            graduated with an engineering degree from the \n             University of Virginia in 1872 and was\n            appointed an aid in the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic Survey\n            Department in 1874, continuing to work as a field\n            agent throughout his career.

The Oyster Industry Protection Correspondence contains\n            much correspondence from \n             William Ellinger of \n             Fox Island, Virginia, who describes\n            himself as an oyster planter. Printed material consists of\n            death notices for \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey men, \n             Richard D.

Oversize items include a survey of the lands of \n             John Roy Baylor (June 1847),\n            photographs of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey, and a printed plan of the fairgrounds of\n            the \n             Virginia State Agricultural Society, \n             Richmond, 1854. The three \n             Baylor family ledgers, 1719-1755, contain\n            many references to the purchase of slaves (see\n            addendum).","The papers of the \n             Baylor family of \"Newmarket,\" \n             Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia, contain ca.\n            2000 items (11 Hollinger boxes, 4.5 linear feet),\n            1653-1915, and consist of correspondence, legal and\n            financial papers, ledgers, genealogical material, students\n            notebooks and bound volumes, scrapbooks, photographs, a\n            diary, literary compositions, military papers pertaining to\n            the Revolutionary War, newsclippings, the records of James Bowen Baylor and the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and miscellaneous papers.","These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n             Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n             Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.","John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.","All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America.","\n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n            September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n            Brigadier General.","\n                Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n            and captain of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n            Revolution. He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky. Later \n             Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n             Pearl River area of the \n             Mississippi Territory.","The estate of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n            entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n            much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n            businessman and the dishonesty of others.

These papers pertain to John Baylor (1650-1720) of \n             Gloucester County, and King and Queen County, Virginia, and his wife, \n             Lucy Todd O'Brien of New Kent County, Virginia, and four generations of their descendants. The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718. John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765. All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America. \n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war. On\n            September 30, 1783, he received his commission as a Brevet\n            Brigadier General. \n                Walker Baylor served as a lieutenant\n            and captain of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons during the\n            Revolution. He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky. Later \n             Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n             Pearl River area of the \n             Mississippi Territory. The estate of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n            entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n            much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n            businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n            house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n            alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n             John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n             Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n             John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n             John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n             James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n            a member of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey team. The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n            from family members, friends, and business associates of\n            all the above generations of the \n             Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n             John Baylor (1705-1772). Letters\n            pertaining to the sojourn of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) in \n             England prior to and during the\n            Revolutionary War include the following: a reference to\n            Colonel \n             John Baylor's son at school in \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge (August 12,1769); his\n            intentions of returning to the \n             United States (December 28, 1770); the\n            advice of \n             William Bond, a former teacher of \n             John Baylor, for him to seek further\n            educational opportunities upon the continent rather than to\n            return to college studies (July 15, 1773); \n             William Bond's request for \n             John Baylor to ignore \"national evils\"\n            and to visit \n             England (May 4, 1778); \n             John Baylor's trip to \n             England to wed his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1778); a reference to\n            the Baylor's leaving \n             England, and comments concerning the\n            fashions and decadence of \n             England (May 4, 1779).

The \n             John Baylor ledgers, 1719-1755, reveal that John Baylor was a wealthy merchant,\n            planter, and shipowner. He also served as a burgess, representing Gloucester County in the 1693 General Assembly and King and Queen County in 1718.","John Baylor's son, John Baylor (1705-1772), greatly increased the family landholdings when he received a royal\n            land grant in 1726 in what was to become Caroline County, Virginia. John Baylor was educated in \n             England, at the \n             Putney Grammer School and \n             Caius College, \n             Cambridge. While in \n             England, he developed a keen interest\n            in thoroughbred horses and horse racing, going so far as to\n            name his new home, \" \n             Newmarket, \" for the famous English\n            racing center. He became an important colonial horse\n            importer and breeder whose stables greatly contributed to\n            the development of American thoroughbreds. \n             John Baylor also rendered public\n            service to the newly formed county of \n             Caroline, as a colonel in the county\n            militia and a burgess in 1742-1749, and 1756-1765.","All four of the sons of \n             John Baylor (1705-1772) contributed in\n            some way to the American effort during the Revolutionary\n            War. \n             John Baylor (1750-1808), the heir of \" \n             Newmarket, \" while unable to fight due\n            to a childhood injury, gave financial support to the war\n            effort. He later had difficulties in shedding his\n            reputation as a \"Tory\" because he had gone back to \n             England in 1778 to marry his cousin, \n             Frances Norton (1760-1815) and had to\n            live in \n             Europe until they could obtain a return\n            passage to \n             America.","\n                George Baylor (1752-1784) was a member\n            of the \n             Caroline County Committee of Safety,\n            1775-1776, and from 1775-1777, he was aide-de-camp of\n            General \n             George Washington. He was commanding\n            officer of the \n             3rd Regiment Light Dragoons when he was\n            wounded and captured on September 28, 1778. He was\n            eventually exchanged and his regiment was consolidated with\n            the \n             First Continental Dragoons on November\n            9, 1782, which he commanded until the end of the war.

He along with his other brother \n             Robert Baylor, who also served in the\n            Revolution, immigrated to \n             Kentucky. Later \n             Robert Baylor apparently settled in the\n             Pearl River area of the \n             Mississippi Territory.","The estate of \n             John Baylor (1750-1808) was hopelessly\n            entangled when he inherited it from his father in 1772 and\n            much of it was lost through his own ineptitude as a\n            businessman and the dishonesty of others. However, the\n            house and two thousand acres were entailed and could not be\n            alienated; these were passed on to his son, \n             John Baylor ( ? ), who married \n             Maria Ann Roy and produced Dr. \n             John Roy Baylor (1821-1897). It was Dr.\n             John Roy Baylor's son, Captain \n             James Bowen Baylor (1848-1924), who was\n            a member of the \n             United States Coast and Geodetic\n            Survey team.","The correspondence series contains the correspondence\n            from family members, friends, and business associates of\n            all the above generations of the \n             Baylor family, beginning with Colonel \n             John Baylor (1705-1772).
