Custodial History

These Rufus and Charles King Family Papers were donated to Carroll College by Leonard E. Serr in 1962. They were originally obtained by his father, who ran the old Carleton Hotel in Milwaukee when Charles King lived there. The papers lay forgotten for years in a closet until they were rediscovered and sent to Carroll College. Rufus King III granted literary rights to the collection in 1974. Archivist Phillip Runkel of Carroll College loaned the collection to the State Historical Society of Wisconsin for microfilming in 1976.
