Business records of J.C. Satterthwaite, primarily of his flour and lumber mill, but also documenting his activities as railroad freight agent and his other business interests in Tecumseh, Michigan.

The business records in this collection chronicle the commercial and financial transactions of J.C. Satterthwaite and family in the period of 1844-1874 (with the bulk falling in the 1850s and 1860s). Though there are some records prior to the period when Satterthwaite had control of the "Raisin Mills," the great majority of records document the various commercial activities of the Satterthwaite family. Concerned with the routine of daily business life in Raisin and Tecumseh, Michigan, the daily transactions offer a microcosm of small town commerce in nineteenth-century Michigan.

The collection has been arranged by the different kinds of enterprises in which the Satterthwaites were involved: the grain and flour mills, a warehouse (or possibly warehouses), and a retail store. For each of these, Satterthwaite maintained day books, ledgers, and journals. The day books document the daily register/receipts of the grain mill, retail establishment, and warehouse. These volumes encompass the years 1844-1865, with an emphasis on the activity at the grain mill.

The ledgers contain the running documentation of individual customer accounts with an emphasis on accounts established at the warehouse. In addition to ledgers for the grain mill and warehouse, the collection contains two which list railroad freight accounts. These last, seemingly unrelated to any of the other businesses, are presumably evidence of J.C. Satterthwaite's additional career as a railroad freight agent.

The cash books record the cash flow of the various establishments, with, as in the day books, an emphasis on the grain mill transactions. Somewhat unrelated to the rest of the collection is a cash book related to the selling of plaster. Its connection with the other Satterthwaite business records is unclear.

The day books, in particular, offer insight into the bulk quantities of staples purchased by individuals at that time, while that of the retail store reflects other, smaller necessities purchased regularly by the townspeople of Raisin and Tecumseh. The collection concludes with a miscellaneous series consisting of the personal financial documents of J.C. Satterthwaite, coupled with two folders of loan documents and receipts, which together suggest an active borrowing and loaning of funds outside of the confines of the Bank of Tecumseh.

Several volumes in the collection have illegible pages due to their later use as scrapbooks. These scrapbook pages contain contemporaneous newspaper clippings consisting of poetry, caricatures, and inspirational stories.

Joseph E. Kincaid was a medical doctor and right to life advocate who was based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Joseph E. Kincaid Papers document his leadership in the local, state, and national right to life movement, with a particular focus on the issue of abortion. Closely documented in the Papers is Kincaid's involvement with several organizations, including Kalamazoo Right to Life Committee, Michigan Citizens for Life, and Right to Life of Michigan, Inc.

The Joseph E. Kincaid Papers document his leadership in the local, state, and national right to life movement, with a particular focus on the issue of abortion. The Papers are arranged into three series: Right to Life, Judicial and Legal Advocacy, and Issues. The papers are important for their insight into the legal, economic, and social criticisms of abortion while also highlighting the interconnected relationship between local, state, and national efforts to advance the right to life cause.

Speeches, reprints, manuscripts of writings; also research materials, including reports and collected data, and correspondence, relating in part to his work on the Research Committee of the New York City Mayor's Advisory Committee for the Aged, 1949-1951.

The papers deal primarily with Bunzel's work and writings from 1936 to 1975, especially with the concept of gerontophobia. The papers also contain some items relating to Bunzel's work in other areas of sociology. The collection has been divided into two series: Papers and Research.
