Series I: Barley, Beaty, and Company Business Records, 1878-1886 10 volumes

Historical Information: Barley Beaty and Company was a mercantile partnership formed by William H. Barley and Charles H. Beaty that sold general merchandise in Front Royal, Virginia. It began operations in May 1878 and continued until Barley's death in February 1881. Beaty was responsible for keeping the store's financial records. The volumes were used as exhibits in the chancery case Executor of William H. Barley versus Charles H. Beaty and others, heard in the Circuit Court of Warren County. Barley's executor was uncertain if Beaty had collected all the debts owed the partnership, a percentage of which would go to Barley's estate. The executor asked the court to intervene and require Beaty to produce all of Barley, Beaty and Company's financial records in order to determine the amount of debt owed the partnership so that whatever was owed to Barley's estate could be collected.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
