Arthur Dayton received an A.B. degree from West Virginia University in 1907 and a L.L.B. from West Virginia University's College of Law in 1908. After receiving a master's degree in English from Yale University in 1909, he returned to Philippi to practice law until 1923.

Dayton (1887-1948) was a prominent Charleston, West Virginia, lawyer and an avid book collector.  He was born in Philippi, West Virginia, into a long line of lawyers.  He was the son of Judge Alston Gordon Dayton who became a lawyer through an apprenticeship with his father, Spencer Dayton.   Arthur's mother, Columbia May Sinsel, was also born into a family of lawyers including her father and brothers.  Arthur Dayton received an A.B. degree from West Virginia University in 1907 and a L.L.B. from West Virginia University's College of Law in 1908. After receiving a master's degree in English from Yale University in 1909, he returned to Philippi to practice law until 1923. He then moved to Charleston to become a member of the law firm of Poffenbarger, Blue, and Dayton, 1923-1927; Blue, Dayton, and Campbell, 1928-1945; and Dayton, Campbell, and Love, 1945-1948. At the time of his death, Dayton was still in practice with Harry V. Love and Charles M. Love, Jr.  He was a member of the Kanawha County Public Library Board, the Charleston Bar Association, the West Virginia State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, Delta Tau Delta, Phi Alpha Delta, and the Presbyterian Church. Following Dayton's death, his wife, Ruth Woods Dayton, donated his rare book collection to the WVU Libraries and his personal law library to the WVU College of Law where they have honored him by creating The Arthur S. Dayton Professorship.  The books donated to the Libraries are now in the West Virginia and Regional History Center and form the core of the Rare Books Collection.","52, 206, 211, 215, 530, 741, 1066, 1111, 1216, 1445, 1723, 3022, 3023","Correspondence of Arthur Spencer Dayton (1887-1948), prominent Charleston lawyer and avid book collector.  The majority of the correspondence is with American and English book dealers and concerns Dayton's purchase of rare books including Shakespeare's four folios as well as other rare Shakespeare volumes; a comprehensive collection of Mark Twain rare editions; Jane Austen rare materials; the 15th century biblical text  The Nuremburg Chronicle ; and many more rare volumes.   Dayton's collection of rare books forms the basis of the West Virginia and Regional History Center's Rare Books Collection.  Most correspondence takes the form of copies of business letters, but also includes personal letters to friends and colleagues.  The personal letters concern Dayton's view on current politics and the law, health matters, philanthropy, religion, and legal decisions.  The content of the boxes of correspondence is as follows:  Box 1, ca. 1898-1960; Box 2, 1937-1940; Box 3, 1941-1945; Box 4, 1946-1948; and Box 5, 1949-1952, and undated.

In November 1958 the APVA authorized the organization of the Montgomery County branch for the specific purpose of acquiring and restoring Smithfield Plantation, the historic home near Blacksburg in Montgomery County, Virginia, built by William Preston in 1773. In 1959 Mrs. Janie Preston Brockenbrough Lamb, a descendant of Preston, donated Smithfield and 4.5 acres of land to the APVA. Restoration of the building was begun in 1962 when the APVA's Montgomery County Branch raised the funds for renovation and contracted with architects and contractors. Since its foundation, and in more recent years, the organization has had some changes, including the dissolution of branches and the combination of the Montgomery County Branch with the Smithfield Preston Foundation. In 2009, the name was changed to Preservation Virgina. ","Smithfield Plantation is the historic home of the Preston family, one of the founding families of Blacksburg and Montgomery County, Virginia. It was built by William Preston (1729-1783), who emigrated from northern Ireland with his family in 1737. He married Susanna Smith in 1761 and settled at Greenfield in Botetourt County in 1769. Preston established himself as a leader in the Virginia frontier by serving in the militia in the French and Indian and Revolutionary wars, in the House of Burgesses representing Augusta County from 1766 to 1768 and Botetourt County in 1769, and as County Lieutenant of Fincastle and Montgomery. He was appointed surveyor of Fincastle County in 1772 and moved his family to that area. He built Smithfield, named in honor of his wife, in 1773. Smithfield was the birthplace and home of three Virginia governors, including James Patton Preston (son of William), and John Buchanan Floyd and John Floyd, Jr. (grandsons of William).","George Green Shackelford, a professor of history from 1954 to 1986 (now Emeritus) at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, or Virginia Tech, which is adjacent to the Smithfield property, spearheaded the restoration by forming the Montgomery County branch and adopting the project of preserving and restoring the Smithfield residence.","The APVA changed their name to Preservation Virginia in 2009. However, since the mateirals in this collection were created under the previous name, we have retained that for the collection title. Both names have been added to the corporate names associated with this collection.","The guide to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, Montgomery County Branch Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","Processing was completed in September 1996, after initial processing in the 1980s.

In letters to their siblings and parents at home, the Atheys describe their desire to visit home; their location on railroads or in camps at New Creek and Parkersburg, West Virginia; their health; and their desire to receive more letters from home. Letters from family members at home chiefly contain news about the family's farm and harvest. Most of the letters are brief and notable for phonetic spelling. One letter to the Athey family from another member of the 11th West Virginia documents the regiment's position in Deep Bottom, Virginia, in January 1865 and describes the cold weather, winter quarters, African American troops, the interaction between Confederate and Union pickets, and artillery fire. There is also an 1869 letter written by a Methodist circuit rider, Loren Stewart, concerning his work around Spencer following the Civil War.","In addition to the Athey family letters, this collection contains pages from a photograph album as well as a few loose clippings and photographs dating from the 1920s, 1930s, and the 1940s (Folders 2-4).  People in the photographs are of the Livezey and Greenwood families.  R.A. is identified in some of the photographs and is probably Ray A. Livezey.  A man named \"French\" appears in many photographs. Other subjects include farms and farming, logging, airplanes and the Hoosier Airport in Indianapolis. Locations include Reedy, Waverly, and St. Albans, West Virginia; Monroe County, West Virginia; New River, West Virginia; Barbour (Barber) and Otter Creeks, Virginia; and Newport and Reno, Ohio.   Some of the photographs appear to be from family travels to Louisiana, Texas, Ohio, and Virginia. A few larger photographs are identified: \"Moonshine Still in Kentucky;\" a school with a group of students and adults in Wood County, Williams District [West Virginia?], \"Location of the Mountain State Business College\" in Parkersburg, from a newspaper clipping; \"Corner Stone Laying for New School in Williamstown[?], W.Va.\"; and another school group photograph \"Clara McDougal, Plum Run School, 1928\" with students identified.
