Rodgers, Charles H., to brothers, sisters, and "folks", 1884-1889, n.d.
Scope and Contents note
Correspondence, primarily from the children of C.M. and Eliza Paine Rodgers. The Rodgers' oldest child and daughter, Romaine Rodgers, went to school in Davenport, Iowa, and started a farm there and in Tribune, Kansas. Other children also traveled and resettled, and the correspondence back and forth talks about farming conditions, rural life, births, illnesses, and deaths. A couple of cousins (children of C.M.'s brother Samuel) settled in New Mexico and California in the 1880s.
