Herman L. Ekern Papers, 1888-1954

Scope and Content Note

Between January and October, 1865, there are regular exchanges of letters between Theron and his parents and sisters, and letters to Theron from friends. In October, Haight leaves Mukwonago for Milwaukee to study law; letters at this time discuss his parents' coming to Wisconsin. Here there are initial letters from Theron to Annie Youmans, whom he later marries, and correspondence to Annie from her friends and relatives. There are letters from other Haight children written to Morris and Lois Haight in Lorraine.
