Account Books.

The collection is composed of one account ledger book, the first thirty-two pages of which have clippings of poems glued to them. Following those are one hundred and fifty-three pages of transactions from Henry Box’s general store. The transactions, which span the years 1857-1858, document the sale of a variety of items, including groceries, beef, butter, sundries and feed. There are then twenty-five pages of entries written by Box’s son-in-law, A.S. Pettit. These entries document his company’s sale of different kinds of coal in 1886 and 1887.
