Abstract:

Papers of Joseph W. Babcock, lumberman and politician of Necedah, Wisconsin, primarily consisting of correspondence to and from Babcock; Mary F., his wife; Charles Ebenezer, their son, also a prominent businessman of Necedah; and Eva F., Charles' wife. Despite the national political prominence of the elder Babcock, a congressman from the Third District for fourteen years, the majority of the correspondence is personal in content. There are also reminiscences of Babcock written by Harry W. Barney, a volume containing data on the Third District Republican conventions, and several ledgers and cash books pertaining to a real estate venture of Charles Babcock and Barney, and photographs.
