Papers of James W. and Dutee A. Whelan, prominent citizens of Buffalo County, Wisconsin, and records of their dairy farm known as “Whelandale,” located just north of Mondovi. The collection provides documentation, particularly through photographs, of the Whelans' dairy operation, family life, and the region in which they lived. Also included is the typewritten reminiscence of an organist from Beloit, Professor R.B. Doane, entitled “My Trip to China - 1874” (written circa 1924). Doane (whose relationship to the Whelans is not known) describes his preparations for sailing from New York to Shanghai, and the 120-day journey on the cutter ship The Oliver Cutts . English
