Abstract:
Papers of Lincoln Neprud, a Wisconsin Sixth District (1952-1969) and Vernon County Court (1937-1952) judge, consisting of judicial case files, legal papers, reports, correspondence, minutes, speeches, campaign files, and information regarding numerous civic activities. Case files include his decisions, correspondence, and legal briefs as both Vernon County and Sixth Circuit Court judge, as well as those of his predecessor, R. S. Cowie. Other judicial records include minutes, correspondence, and briefs of the Wisconsin Board of Circuit Judges, various reports of court activities, and miscellaneous judicial information and publications. Involvement with the Snowflake Ski Club of Anderson Hill at Westby, the Vernon County Baseball League, and the Upper Mississippi Anti-Drawdown Congress are also well documented. Of special note is a file pertaining to the controversial appearance of native son Gerald L.K. Smith as a guest speaker at the Viroqua centennial. The photographs document the interior of the Wisconsin Sixth District Circuit Court during a program for women homemakers sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Agricultural Extension Program in 1963, and images of the interior and exterior of a home. There is a restriction on access to this material; see the Administrative/Restriction Information portion of this finding aid for details.
