Abstract:

Collection consists almost entirely of correspondence among the Wentworth family members, particularly that of William Wentworth Thomas and his wife, Minnie Pearl Higley Thomas. For the most part, these deal with personal family matters such as the children and day-to-day domestic events. Travel diaries and personal journals of his aunt, Kate Thomas, are also included, which relate her travels to Europe and Asia and provide brief daily entries from 1870-1900 with few gaps. The collection also contains miscellaneous business records including invoices, bills of lading, and contractual agreements of The Thomas Brass & Iron Company which was founded by William's father, Richard J. Thomas. The remainder of the collection consists of genealogical histories of the Wentworth and Pike families.
