Part 1 (Mss 1003): Original Collection, 1783-2001 (bulk 1870-2001)
2.1 cubic feet (5 archives boxes and 1 oversize folder)
: Papers documenting four generations of the James and Maria (Tipple) Cranefield family, immigrants from Norfolk, England who settled in the Madison area in 1848. The bulk of the collection documents the descendants of Frederic Cranefield and his wife Laura (Hinrichs) Cranefield, a prominent couple in Madison. Frederic Cranefield worked for the University of Wisconsin's Horticulture Department and had four children, Marion, Paul, Harold, and Laura. Marion served in World War I and was one of the first Wisconsin soldiers to die in that conflict; there is a Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post named in his honor in Madison. Paul's son, Paul Jr. received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin in 1951 and his MD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1964. He was a prominent doctor of cardiology as well as a published author of many medical physiology texts. He was also a devout enthusiast of the theater and the papers reflect this interest. The papers consist of genealogical research files, correspondence, diaries, and news clippings.
