Correspondence, 1831-1971

The Correspondence Series consists of letters from the Hollister and Twichell families dating from 1831 to 1959. Most of this correspondence was sent or received by Etta Twichell and her daughter Jennie. There are a few Civil War period letters, but most of these don't mention the conflict. Of particular interest are the letters to Etta Twichell from M.S. Hollister as he migrated west through Arizona and California, and from Joseph Hollister, who settled in Idaho. There are also letters by Jennie Twichell Lohmiller describing her work as a teacher. The series also contains letters from friends and relatives describing preparations for World War I. The series also includes letters of Jean Lohmiller Rich, 1930-1971, with her family and with her husband Ed Rich. These letters relate to their careers and their personal relationship.
