Collection Overview
Scope and Contents of the Materials
The papers of the Foster family of Madison County, KY contain several series of personal letters, most of which belong to Jennie Million or Malcom Morris. Also included are a series of store receipts and tobacco sales records covering several years around 1900. The Eades family papers consist mainly of deeds and land contracts between the family and various other locals between 1869 and 1935. There are also a small number of fliers and pamphlets that offer an interesting look into the day to day concerns of people during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
