Following her education as Mount Holyoke College, Lincoln traveled in 1846 to northern Virginia, where she met Nathan Loomis Look. Lincoln returned to Massachusetts the following year and taught school in Petersham. ","Nathan Loomis Look (born March 19, 1819 near Utica, New York), was the son of Samuel and Mary \"Polly\" Loomis Look. Also descended from an early Massachusetts family, Look had moved to Prince William County, Virginia, in 1847. He married Sarah A. B. Lincoln in 1848. Following their marriage, the Looks lived in Virginia's Loudoun (1848-1850), Botetourt (1850-1853), and Montgomery (1854-1855) counties, before finally settling in Rich Valley, Smyth County in 1856. ","In Smyth County, Nathan Look, together with his brother-in-law Charles F. Lincoln, initially engaged in agriculture; in 1859, they moved to Marion, where they established the firm of Look \u0026 Lincoln and engaged in the manufacture of plows. After the Civil War, the firm added a plow handle factory, and in 1880, Look \u0026 Lincoln expanded to the manufacture of wagons and buggies. ","Sarah A. B. Lincoln Look died September 16, 1857. The Looks had only child, Sarah Isabel Look (who would marry Smelt Winston Dickinson), who had survived to adulthood. Following her mother's death, Sarah and her sister Laura lived in Wyoming, New York with their paternal grandparents. They remained their through the Civil War. During this time, their father married a second time, to Columbia Thomas. ","Nathan Look died on May 2, 1907. After his death, the heirs of Charles F. Lincoln, who had died in 1891, acquired ownership of Look \u0026 Lincoln. The company continued to operate successfully for several decades and eventually expanded into the lumber business and the manufacturing of furniture.","The guide to the Lincoln-Look Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement and description of the Lincoln-Look Family Papers commenced and was completed in December 2007. In the course of processing, a scrapbook holding envelopes which had once housed the family's letters was disassembled to protect the materials from the scrapbook's own acidity. The page numbers within the scrapbook on which the items were originally mounted is noted in penciled brackets in the top right-hand corner of each item.","This collection contains the papers of Nathan L. and Sarah A. B. Lincoln Look, natives of New York and Massachusetts, respectively, who settled in Marion County, Virginia in the 1850s. The collection consists largely of correspondence and includes summaries and transcripts of the 61 letters within the collection. ","The majority of the correspondence is written by Sarah A. B. Lincoln Look to her family. Her early letters (1844-1847), written from various locales in Massachusetts, concern her attempts to secure a teaching position, classes at Mt. Holyoke, and routine family matters. Included too is a description of Sarah Lincoln's 1846 trip to northern Virginia, with lengthy (and often unflattering) descriptions of its people and environs. Following her marriage and move to Virginia, Sarah Lincoln Look's letters center on the family's frequent moves during the subsequent decade, the daily activities of the household (particularly farming and her hat-making enterprise), her views on slavery and Southern culture, the weather, society and church activities. ","Within the correspondence also are several letters written by Sarah's brother, Charles F. Lincoln, and her husband, Nathan L. Look. These letters focus more on the family's farm and its broom- and cheese-making enterprises. The correspondence also contains Civil War-era letters from Polly Loomis Look, Laura L. Look, and Olivia Look Taylor. The letters contain only brief mentions of war news but include passages relating to travel behind the lines and descriptions of conditions in southwestern Virginia. ","Accompanying the original letters are a set of typed transcripts and the contents of a scrapbook, largely consisting of envelopes in which the original letters had once been housed. Each envelope bears a brief summary of the letter it once contained. Also included here are a few genealogical notes.","The collection also contains a few pieces of miscellanea, including newspaper clippings about James Monroe's Oak Hill estate (at which Sarah Lincoln lived for a short time), a 1930  Baltimore Sun  article about Mahlon Loomis, a color advertising circular for Look \u0026 Lincoln wagons, an 1848 acrostic for Sarah A. B. Lincoln, and two 1847 deeds for land in Petersham, Massachusetts.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown. Copyright restrictions may apply.

B. Lincoln Look, natives of New York and Massachusetts, respectively, who settled in Marion County, Virginia in the 1850s. The collection consists largely of correspondence and includes summaries and transcripts of the 61 letters within the collection. ","The majority of the correspondence is written by Sarah A. B. Lincoln Look to her family. Her early letters (1844-1847), written from various locales in Massachusetts, concern her attempts to secure a teaching position, classes at Mt. Holyoke, and routine family matters. Included too is a description of Sarah Lincoln's 1846 trip to northern Virginia, with lengthy (and often unflattering) descriptions of its people and environs. Following her marriage and move to Virginia, Sarah Lincoln Look's letters center on the family's frequent moves during the subsequent decade, the daily activities of the household (particularly farming and her hat-making enterprise), her views on slavery and Southern culture, the weather, society and church activities. ","Within the correspondence also are several letters written by Sarah's brother, Charles F. Lincoln, and her husband, Nathan L. Look. These letters focus more on the family's farm and its broom- and cheese-making enterprises. The correspondence also contains Civil War-era letters from Polly Loomis Look, Laura L. Look, and Olivia Look Taylor. The letters contain only brief mentions of war news but include passages relating to travel behind the lines and descriptions of conditions in southwestern Virginia.

Samuel Winston Price was born September 14, 1871 to James Bane Price and Sarah Winston Price. Samuel married Della Hickman of Hickman, Virginia, in 1897. The couple had five children: Ferdinand, Theodore Roosevelt, Julia Winston, Florence Alma, and Helen Elizabeth. Samuel inherited Price's General Store after his father's death and leased it to others. According to the letters he received, he was a practicing attorney in Price's Fork Virginia. Samuel had health problems that lead him to be hospitalized at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore for a time in 1899.

Series I: Correspondence, includes letters to Samuel Winston Price primarily from his wife Della Hickman-Price, a few from his mother and business colleagues. The letters from Della begin in 1894 and serve as a record of her flirtations and courtship with Mr. Price until they were married in 1897. Letters after 1897 are from Della to Sam during their marriage. She discusses their children in some, but mostly they chronicle her everyday life while she is out of town away from her husband. In 1899, Samuel Price stayed in Johns Hopkins Hospital for some time. Though it is unclear why he was in the hospital, letters from Della and his Mother express love and concern for Sam. ","Series II: Photographs and Artifacts, contains two photograph albums. The large, blue album contains pictures of members of the Price and Hickman families and appear to be from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The second album is a smaller, brown volume that appears to be from the same time period but with vague persons pictured. Included is also a small tobacco pouch from the 19th century. ","\nSeries III: Ephemera, contains receipts, ticket stubs, and medical bills of various members from the Price family from 1840-1903. ","The correspondence is primarily from Della Hickman-Price to Samuel Winston Price during their courtship and after their marriage. There are also some letters to Samuel W.

Series I: Correspondence, includes letters to Samuel Winston Price primarily from his wife Della Hickman-Price, a few from his mother and business colleagues. The letters from Della begin in 1894 and serve as a record of her flirtations and courtship with Mr. Price until they were married in 1897. Letters after 1897 are from Della to Sam during their marriage. She discusses their children in some, but mostly they chronicle her everyday life while she is out of town away from her husband.
