Leeper, 1886-1950 (Box 1). Samuel Leeper wrote a few of the first entries, and some family members wrote some of the last entries documenting Thomas Leeper's last days. Subjects in the diaries include family life; work life; weather; encounters with visitors, friends, and neighbors; and travels. Counties traveled include Calhoun, Clay, Lewis, Harrison, Marion, Wirt and more.  Inserts in the diaries include receipts, penciled sketches, and other paraphernalia.  Added entry at the end of the 1950 diary: \"Thomas M. Leeper died 3:30 the morning of July 31-1950, funeral August 2 in Methodist Church, preacher-Rev. McKinney.\"","In addition to the diaries, the collection includes a Leeper family history and Thomas Leeper's autobiography (Box 2). The narrative of Nathaniel Cochrane's life as told to T.

Also, a typescript manuscript of Nathaniel Cochrane's biography tracing his roots to Ireland; an account of the Confederate William Jones' Raid from Harrisburg to Marion County; and history of Monongah, Monongah High School, and Thoburn School District.","Other travel accounts are included, most significantly a fifty-three-page narrative of a trip on a raft in 1882 from Washington, Marion County, West Virginia to McKeesport, Pennsylvania, by way of the West Fork and Monongahela Rivers. The sketch was written by Thos. M. Leeper from notes taken on the journey. There are descriptions of the raft's construction, of the towns and geographical features seen, and comments on the early history of the area through which the group passed. Also included are extracts from Leeper's diary in July 1888, during a flood of the West Fork River in Marion County.","Other trips included are to Canada (1935), and Washington, D.C.

Mason (1842-1917) was a prominent lawyer and Republican party member in the northern part of West Virginia from the early 1870s until his death. He had been a soldier in the Union army and after the war attended Monongalia Academy. He read law under Judge Marshall Hagans of Morgantown and was admitted to the bar in 1867. He practiced law in Grafton from 1867 to 1889. During this time he was made Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee and served four years until 1876. He ran for the House of Representatives in 1882 and was defeated by William L. Wilson by ten votes. He tried for Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia six years after but lost. The highlight of his life was his appointment as Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service by President Benjamin Harrison. At the end of his term of office, he returned to West Virginia and moved to Fairmont. He continued to practice law until he was elected Judge of the Circuit Court of Monongalia, Harrison, and Marion Counties in 1900.

He retired from the bench in 1912 and was appointed Chairman of the West Virginia Debt Commission the following year.
