Craig of Craigsville, Virginia discusses the sale of two carts, also includes a 1 cent Franklin stamp.","The Lara papers include an 1858 bill for $10.02 from the Virginia Central Railroad regarding the transport of tobacco, lime, and sundries to such locations as Staunton, Fishersville, and Richmond.","A court summons of A.S.

Gallaher owned farms, a mill, and a tannery in and around Waynesboro. His loyalty during the Civil War was a subject of controversy, as he was known to entertain both Union and Confederate soldiers in his home. In 1871 he petitioned the Southern Claims Commission that he should be reimbursed for $32,587.50 worth of property, purportedly taken by U.S. troops to benefit the U.S. Army, invoking a provision intended to reimburse Southerners who had remained loyal to the Union during the war.

Gallaher owned farms, a mill, and a tannery in and around Waynesboro. His loyalty during the Civil War was a subject of controversy, as he was known to entertain both Union and Confederate soldiers in his home. In 1871 he petitioned the Southern Claims Commission that he should be reimbursed for $32,587.50 worth of property, purportedly taken by U.S. troops to benefit the U.S. Army, invoking a provision intended to reimburse Southerners who had remained loyal to the Union during the war. The claim was challenged and denied, and further investigation revealed that Gallaher had served as a blockade runner and privateer for the Confederacy.","Sons, William Bowen (1840-1911) and Dewitt Clinton (D.C.) Gallaher were born in Shepherdstown, Virginia (now West Virginia) and attended Waynesboro Academy in Waynesboro as youth. Both fought for the Confederate army and William was present at the battle of First Manassas in 1861. William B. worked as an engineer and Dewitt went on to become an attorney. William married Amelia Frances Briscoe (1845-1911), a member of a prominent Maryland family. The family lived at an estate called \"Springdale,\" near Waynesboro.","Juliet Hite Gallaher (1871-1951), oldest daughter of William B. and Amelia Briscoe Gallaher, served as Vice President of the Waynesboro chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and appeared to have written several articles for Good Housekeeping magazine in the 1910s.","Capt.

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

The Plains Mill was erected between 1847 and 1849 under the direction of Siram and his father Solomon, prior to his death in August 1847.","During the American Civil War, two of Siram and Margeret's sons served for the Confederacy. Lewis Philip (1837-1904) served in the Ordance Department of the Confederate Army. Around 1863, Lewis became a member of Co. H (Valley Rangers) of the 10th Virginia Cavalry. Luther Melanchton (1841-1919) was also a member of the Confederate Army and wrote home to his father from various camps. Lewis and Luther's brother Samuel Augustus (1840-1885) was exempt from military duty due to medical reasons. He became epileptic after sustaining injuries from run-away horses in 1855.","In 1878, one year prior to Siram's death, he sketched the plans for a new house at Plains Mill.

Lewis Philip (1837-1904) served in the Ordance Department of the Confederate Army. Around 1863, Lewis became a member of Co. H (Valley Rangers) of the 10th Virginia Cavalry. Luther Melanchton (1841-1919) was also a member of the Confederate Army and wrote home to his father from various camps. Lewis and Luther's brother Samuel Augustus (1840-1885) was exempt from military duty due to medical reasons. He became epileptic after sustaining injuries from run-away horses in 1855.","In 1878, one year prior to Siram's death, he sketched the plans for a new house at Plains Mill. The house was built in 1882 and served as the residence for Siram's widow, Margaret, until her death in 1899. The aforementioned sketch and photographs of the completed house are found in this collection.","Heleah Margaret Henkel, daughter of Siram and Margaret Henkel, married William M. Renalds in 1893. Their family is heavily documented in the 2023 accession materials."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMaterial was property of a Henkel family descendant, presumably Mildred Renalds Wittig, great-granddaughter of Siram and Margaret Koiner Henkel.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMaterials in the 2023-0329 accession, purchased from ZH Books, share provenance with the rest of the collection in that they descended through the Henkel family to Mildred Renalds Wittig before being sold at Jeffrey S.

J. Fahrney, Daily News-Record, February 2, 1937.","John Jerome Fahrney (1863/1864-1937) was born in Rockingham County, Virginia to Peter and Treacy Hannah Fahrney. Fahrney was an inventor, wheelwright, blacksmith, mechanic, and broom factory operator. He was also the founder and president of Fahrney Wheel Corporation.

For example, an October 4, 1916 letter from Fahrney's wife Annie provides an update on happenings in Timberville while Fahrney is in Hagerstown, Maryland. A 1926 letter to his daughter Gladys is also included. Other correspondents include Metz Company, Standard Oil Company, patent attorney E. G. Siggers, and Cray Brothers.","Patents issued to J. J. Fahrney include water pump attachment for automobiles (1915), explosion engine vaporizers for heavy fuels (1916), tire heaters (1919), and cider press (1925).","Ephemera includes Fahrney Patent Automobile Wheel advertising postcards, a Fahrney Wheel Corporation card listing the company's board of directors, and wheel imagery.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

J. Fahrney, Daily News-Record, February 2, 1937.","John Jerome Fahrney (1863/1864-1937) was born in Rockingham County, Virginia to Peter and Treacy Hannah Fahrney. Fahrney was an inventor, wheelwright, blacksmith, mechanic, and broom factory operator. He was also the founder and president of Fahrney Wheel Corporation. Fahrney held several patents for inventions that improved the functionality of automobiles.","Per auctioneer's catalog, the collection was from the Fritz and Loretta Orebaugh estate in New Market, Virginia.","The materials were received in disorder and with no particular arrangement. The archivist imposed an order based on material format.","The J. J. Fahrney Papers, 1886-1936, primarily document the Fahrney Wheel Corporation (variously J. J. Fahrney \u0026 Sons) and its proprietor J. J. Fahrney of Timberville, Virginia.","Financial documents primarily comprise invoices from Cray Brothers, Standard Oil Company, Duplex Mill \u0026 Manufacturing Co., and Ford Motor Company. A blank Fahrney Wheel Corporation subscription booklet is included along with a 1916 invoice from Henkel \u0026 Company Printers, Publishers for \"setting up type forms for subscription for stock.\"  The collection also includes three deeds for land in Timberville.","Automobile related advertising circulars and marketing materials also include correspondence. Companies from which Fahrney received circulars include Firestone; Capt. W. A. Collings, Inc.; The Holsman Automobile Company; and The Air-Friction Carburetor Company.","Correspondence is primarily business related and concerns Fahrney's business and inventions, but a small selection of letters are more personal in nature. For example, an October 4, 1916 letter from Fahrney's wife Annie provides an update on happenings in Timberville while Fahrney is in Hagerstown, Maryland. A 1926 letter to his daughter Gladys is also included. Other correspondents include Metz Company, Standard Oil Company, patent attorney E. G. Siggers, and Cray Brothers.","Patents issued to J. J. Fahrney include water pump attachment for automobiles (1915), explosion engine vaporizers for heavy fuels (1916), tire heaters (1919), and cider press (1925).","Ephemera includes Fahrney Patent Automobile Wheel advertising postcards, a Fahrney Wheel Corporation card listing the company's board of directors, and wheel imagery.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

Davis, a U.S. Congressman, and Julia T. Davis. She attended Wellesely College and graduated from Barnard College in 1922. Davis primarily wrote historical fiction for children and adults. Two of her children's books were awarded with the Newberry Honor Award. She wrote The Shenandoah (1945), as part of Farrar \u0026 Rhinehart's Rivers of America series. Davis also published under the pseudonym F. Draco.","Davis lived the bulk of her life in West Virginia and was married four times. While writing The Shenandoah, Davis was married to Paul West. Correspondence to her within this collection is addressed accordingly. Davis was the foster mother of Ramon and Andrea Sender, two siblings from Spain who came to the United States as refugees during the Spanish Civil War.","Folders containing chapter drafts are titled according to their final chapter numbers and titles in the published version of The Shenandoah which may vary slightly from the draft title.","Julia McDonald Davis (1900-1993) Papers, A\u0026M 1856, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia.","The collection comprises correspondence, manuscript drafts, research materials, and printed ephemera relating to Julia Davis's book The Shenandoah. The book focuses on the history of the Shenandoah River and surrounding Shenandoah Valley and was published as part of Farrar \u0026 Rhinehart's Rivers of America series. The books comprising the Rivers of America series were written by novelists, poets, and literary figures rather than historians.","The correspondence primarily comprises responses from librarians, historians, professors, local chambers of commerce, and other subject matter specialists discussing sundry topics covered in the book as well as suggested edits to the manuscript. The Native American presence and influence in the Shenandoah Valley is a common topic, as is the Civil War, European settlers, industries, farming, and agriculture. Correspondence from Davis's editors at Farrar \u0026 Rhinehart is also included.","Two letters from Stephen Vincent Benét, who was one of the editors of the series until his death in 1943, invite Davis to write The Shenandoah and discuss the timeline for publication.","A September 24, 1944 letter to Davis from John Yates McDonald of Orchard Lodge in Charles Town, West Virginia discusses edits to Chapter 24: Fool's Gold and True Gold, specifically in reference to apple growing.","A letter regarding applications for Voluntary Departure and Pre-examination on behalf of siblings Ramon and Andrea Sender is included but does not appear to have any relevance to Davis's writing. Davis was the Sender children's foster mother after they came to the United States from Spain as refugees.","The John Wayland correspondence, comprising 14 letters and a partial letter, is foldered separately.","The \"Postscript\" of The Shenandoah discusses two 1945 proposed dams on the Shenandoah River - one at Millville near Harpers Ferry and one on the North Fork at Brocks Gap. Reports and correspondence from Harry Flood Byrd discussing these proposed but ultimately not implemented flood control measures are included.","In the correspondence Davis is usually addressed as Mrs. West. She was married to her second husband, Paul West, from 1934 to 1949.","Research materials include brochures, postcards, and pamphlets and other printed ephemera documenting Shenandoah Valley destinations, geographical features, towns, families, and institutions covered in The Shenandoah. Notably, numerous brochures document Storer College, a historically Black college located in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. These items were provided to Davis by local chambers of commerce, libraries, authors, and historians to support her research. Other research materials include Library of Congress reading room slips, book lists, and bibliographies.","The collection also includes several full and partial chapter drafts with handwritten annotations and edits. It's presumed that some, if not all, of the annotated drafts were marked up and sent to Davis by people with whom she was corresponding.","Two copies of The Shenandoah, including one paperback proof copy, were removed the collection and cataloged bibliographically. A two-volume set of The Selected Works of Stephen Vincent Benét, in which the two letters from Benét to Davis were laid in, was also cataloged bibliographically.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

The book focuses on the history of the Shenandoah River and surrounding Shenandoah Valley and was published as part of Farrar \u0026 Rhinehart's Rivers of America series. The books comprising the Rivers of America series were written by novelists, poets, and literary figures rather than historians.","The correspondence primarily comprises responses from librarians, historians, professors, local chambers of commerce, and other subject matter specialists discussing sundry topics covered in the book as well as suggested edits to the manuscript. The Native American presence and influence in the Shenandoah Valley is a common topic, as is the Civil War, European settlers, industries, farming, and agriculture. Correspondence from Davis's editors at Farrar \u0026 Rhinehart is also included.","Two letters from Stephen Vincent Benét, who was one of the editors of the series until his death in 1943, invite Davis to write The Shenandoah and discuss the timeline for publication.","A September 24, 1944 letter to Davis from John Yates McDonald of Orchard Lodge in Charles Town, West Virginia discusses edits to Chapter 24: Fool's Gold and True Gold, specifically in reference to apple growing.","A letter regarding applications for Voluntary Departure and Pre-examination on behalf of siblings Ramon and Andrea Sender is included but does not appear to have any relevance to Davis's writing. Davis was the Sender children's foster mother after they came to the United States from Spain as refugees.","The John Wayland correspondence, comprising 14 letters and a partial letter, is foldered separately.","The \"Postscript\" of The Shenandoah discusses two 1945 proposed dams on the Shenandoah River - one at Millville near Harpers Ferry and one on the North Fork at Brocks Gap.
