Other records pertaining to Yawkey-Woodson investments and to Wisconsin lumbering and business history in general may be found in the D.C. Everest Papers (Mss 279). Everest was a contemporary of Yawkey and Woodson, and was connected with many of the same companies; in fact he was initially hired by a group of Wausau investors, among them C.C. Yawkey. Of additional interest to the researcher may be the papers of Richard B. Runke (Stevens Point Mss V). However, these papers deal with Runke's personal life and business interests, and do not in any way refer to his management and operation of the Vilas-Gogebic Company, Merrill, Wisconsin, which was owned by Yawkey. It appears that Runke's office files were taken over by Yawkey and Woodson after his death; hence there were no Vilas-Gogebic Company papers in Runke's personal collection.
