Doctor Hawkins Stone Ledgers, 1852-1902, consist of two volumes that record the accounts of individual patients. Each account records transactions in chronological order. Each entry list date of transaction, style of transaction (service rendered, form of payment, etc.,), and amount owed or paid. Payments made by cash, credit, check, labor, and barter of items such as lumber, wheat, herring, and oats. Services rendered include visits to patients, medication, consultations, and examinations for lunacy. The first volume, 1852-1902, was originally a ledger used by merchant James Withers Stone to record the transactions of his mercantile business. These transactions are found in the first portion of the volume and date from 1852 to 1857. The majority of the volume records the transactions of Dr. Stone and date from 1875 to 1902. The ledgers include an index listing in alphabetical order the names of patients and the page numbers where their accounts can be found.
