Abstract:
Papers of Herbert Battles Tanner, a physician, businessman, and civic activist from Kaukauna, Wisconsin, and Eastland, Texas, and papers by or about relatives of Tanner and his wife Mary. Papers on Mary's ancestors include letters of families prominent in early Wisconsin history such as the Boyd, Lawe, Rankin, and Grignon families, and letters between Mrs. John Quincy Adams and her sister, Harriet Johnson Boyd. The collection documents the many activities of Herbert Battles Tanner such as his participation in Kaukauna church and Masonic affairs, addresses to medical societies, local Republican political activities in both Kaukauna (1890s) and Eastland (1920s), and business ventures. Operation of the Rio Tamasopo Sugar Company in Mexico involved Tanner in the economic impact of the Mexican Revolution and U.S. relations with Mexico. Tanner's historical writings on Kaukauna are also represented in the collection as are travel observations including comments on the 1877 St. Louis railroad strike. The family papers consist primarily of genealogical data gathered by Tanner and two of his children, Herbert Johnson Tanner and Blanche Lawe Tanner, and of photographs and letters written by ancestors.

Biography/History

Herbert Battles Tanner, the first child of Ford and Mary Ann (Battles) Tanner, was born in the village of Whitewater, Wisconsin, on February 13, 1859. Five years later they moved to Watertown, Wisconsin, where Herbert's brother Walter Scott Tanner was born on May 10, 1864. In late August 1864 the family moved to Lafayette, Indiana, where Herbert's brother, Harry Cuyler Tanner, and sister, Stella Ford Tanner, were born on November 24, 1866 and October 23, 1869, respectively. Herbert went to school, discovered literature, and became interested in politics; during the election campaign of 1868 he heard General Grant speak in a pasture across the tracks from the Wabash railroad. He worked too, now and then, as basket maker, machine operator, and printer's devil. After the failure of Ford Tanner's basket shop, the family left Lafayette in early August 1872 and went to Chicago. There Herbert continued his schooling, which included one year (1874) at business college. He clerked in a bookshop, dry goods house, and drugstore; he also worked in the basket factory where his father was foreman. In November 1875 Tanner began selling baskets on the road; in May and June 1876 he sold baskets in eastern cities, such as Philadelphia, where he also visited the Centennial Exposition, and Washington. The family moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, in the fall of 1876. Here Tanner, whose paternal and maternal grandfathers had been physicians, decided to embark on a medical career. He matriculated in the Indiana Medical College on October 10, 1876; to earn the money he needed to continue his medical studies he sold baskets in the western states the following summer. During the last week of July he was delayed in St. Louis on account of the bitter railroad strike in progress there, his impressions of which he recorded. Tanner graduated from medical school on February 28, 1878; in the summer he went to Washington, D.C., with the hope of becoming an assistant surgeon in the navy, but he lacked the funds necessary to secure such an appointment. He then practiced medicine in Chicago, where his parents had returned on March 17, 1878; sold baskets in Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Indiana (March-November 1879); and, on November 20, 1879, took his former place as shipping clerk in the basket factory. At twenty-one years old, with his prospects uncertain, but with the intention of practicing medicine, Herbert Battles Tanner settled in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, on July 27, 1880. He lived in Kaukauna for the following thirty-three years, and there he established his reputation.

Tanner married Mary Georgina Miller Boyd on September 1, 1881. They had three sons and one daughter: Kenneth Boyd Tanner (1883-1965), Blanche Lawe Tanner (1885-1948), Harold Ford Tanner (1887-1962), and Herbert Johnson Tanner (1894- ). Members of Mary's family--Boyd and Johnson paternally, Lawe and Rankin maternally--had been active participants in the early history of the United States and Wisconsin. From the 1880's on, Tanner was engaged in the study of the genealogy of his wife's family as well as his own, the history of Kaukauna and Wisconsin, and other historical subjects. He became a member of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin in 1887. Of Tanner's children, Blanche and Herbert shared his interest in the family's genealogy.

Tanner practiced medicine in several capacities. He was the first health officer of Kaukauna, serving as City Physician from 1886 until 1893. He was a district surgeon for the Chicago & North Western Railway Company in the 1880s and 1890s, and for four years was secretary and treasurer, and for one term president, of the Fox River Valley Medical Society. He had an active medical practice in Kaukauna until 1906.

Tanner also was active in the economic, political, and social life of Kaukauna and Wisconsin. Resourceful in business, he took part in several varied ventures. He participated in companies which sought to develop the mineral resources of Alaska, the Gogebic district of Michigan, and Cripple Creek, Colorado; only the last yielded a decent return to the investors. He was president of a short-lived furniture factory in Kaukauna and owned a corner drugstore (1898-1906) and bowling alley (circa 1904) in town. One enterprise, the Rio Tamasopo Sugar Company, which he helped organize in 1903, proved highly successful for ten years. Located in the state of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, the firm owned large tracts of land and a refinery which, when completed in 1908, had a capacity of 60,000 pounds of sugar a day. Tanner was president of the company for ten of its fifteen years of existence; he spent the winter months of 1903 to 1918 in San Luis Potosi, attending to the business and serving as physician to the workers and their families.

Tanner was a lifelong Republican. His political career began in the 1880's and reached its high point in Wisconsin in the 1890's. In 1885 he was elected a director of the school board of Kaukauna's north district; circa 1890 he served as clerk of the school board of the south district, when Nicollet High School was built; from 1886 until 1893 he was City Physician, a political appointment; from 1890 until 1893 he was a member of the U.S. pension examining board. Tanner was elected the first Republican mayor of Kaukauna on April 3, 1894 and re-elected for a second term on April 2, 1895. Elected as alderman for the fourth ward on April 5, 1898, he served two years on the common council, where he advocated the establishment of a free public library. Appointed first president of the library board, he served there for four years (1904-1907). Tanner's political activities and influence extended beyond Kaukauna, too. He was appointed by Governor William H. Upham, and re-appointed by Governor Edward Scofield to be state supervisor of inspectors of illuminating oils for Wisconsin; he served from January 17, 1895 until February 1901, for which he received the fee paid by the oil companies, of two cents a barrel on all the oil used in the state. While holding this appointment, he invented and marketed a gas torch which more easily and safely tested the flashing point of illuminating and other oils. He was elected a delegate to the Republican Party's county, congressional, and state conventions until conventions were replaced by primaries. At the Republican convention of 1900, after many ballots had been cast in a three-cornered contest, Tanner lost his bid to become the party's candidate for the eighth congressional district. When Robert La Follette, as a progressive Republican, overturned the party stalwarts and went on to win the gubernatorial election, Tanner lost influence in Republican state politics. It was at this time, February 1901, that the new governor decided that the state supervisor of inspectors of illuminating oils should receive a salary for his services instead of the fee paid on each barrel by the oil companies. Tanner also was active in civic and fraternal organizations. He was a member of the Masonic Order, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Modern Woodmen of America, Independent Order of Foresters, Knights of Pythias, and Elks. Both he and his wife belonged to the Congregational Church.

Tanner left Kaukauna in early October 1913, perhaps for reasons of health. Another possible explanation is that he did so because he had fallen into disfavor in the Fox River Valley, some of whose inhabitants, following Tanner's advice, had invested in Mexican land and lost their investment about this time. (Tanner's parents had moved to Appleton, Wisconsin, in the fall of 1888, where his father died on May 25, 1906; his mother moved to Neenah, Wisconsin, the following year, where she died on April 26, 1913.) Tanner and his wife moved to California, first staying in San Diego eighteen months, then in Los Angeles for four months. They next moved to Texas: in 1915 to Amarillo, where their son Harold and his family already were living; in 1916 to San Antonio; and in 1919 to Eastland. In Amarillo and San Antonio Tanner was involved in several business ventures, such as the sale of IMP automobiles and the importation of exotic Yucatan parrots. He also wished to serve the war effort and managed to enroll in the Citizens Military Training Camp at Fort Sam Houston on June 12, 1916, although he was over the age for service in the military. After completing basic training on July 8, 1916, he applied to the Medical Reserve Corps to serve as an army physician, but his application was rejected because of his age, fifty-seven, and because his knowledge of medicine was dated. Tanner, however, did manage to serve in 1918 as a dollar-a-year man assisting the quartermaster at Fort Sam Houston. After leaving Wisconsin, Tanner continued to spend winters in Mexico until 1918-1919. The Rio Tamasopo Sugar Company had been in decay since 1913, the result in large part of disorder in the countryside during the revolution after 1910. In March 1918 the Mexican government seized the plantation and Tanner left the country, never to return. The expropriation occurred after a Mexican court had ruled against Tanner who, in compliance with United States wartime regulations, refused to honor a contract to sell sugar cane to a German citizen. Tanner agreed to sell his one-third interest in the company in April; but as late as 1929 he and his son Kenneth, who had also helped manage the company, were claiming compensation for losses they were forced to accept in 1918. In January 1919, in financial difficulty, they settled in Eastland located in the Ranger oil field, where they hoped to profit from the current Texas oil boom. Tanner was president of the short-lived Eastland International Oil Company, secretary of the Okey Ranger Oil Company, and receiver of the Gordon Petroleum Company, Inc., the last two of which were organized by Lieutenant Colonel Robert D. Gordon. These companies apparently did not prosper. In Eastland, where Tanner lived the last fifteen years of his life, he was characteristically busy. He practiced medicine, but only for one year (1921), and delivered addresses to the Eastland City Medical and Dental Society. He devoted himself to his genealogical and historical studies and contributed many articles on his interests and experiences to the Kaukauna Times and other newspapers. The Kaukauna Times printed his “History of Kaukauna's Revolutionary Hero [Captain Hendrick Aupaumut],” in August 1926 and his “History of the Streets of Kaukauna,” in March 1930. The latter was published in book form the following year. He also became a member of the fledgling West Texas Historical Association in 1925. He was active in politics. Every two years he was on the Republican county ticket for some office. In 1922 he was the party's nominee for county treasurer. Tanner, realizing the weak minority position of the Republican Party in Eastland County, conducted good-humored campaigns against hopeless odds, as for example, in 1926, when he was the party's candidate against the populist Democrat Thomas L. Blanton in the race for the seventeenth congressional district. In 1928 several friends tried unsuccessfully to secure his nomination as the party's candidate for lieutenant governor. In the spring of the same year he displayed his skill as a promoter. He claimed to have discovered in the cornerstone of the Eastland Courthouse a horned toad, Ol' Rip, which had survived a confinement of thirty-one years; the story was reported and wondered at throughout the country, which thereby came to know of Eastland. In the summer of 1929 he was chosen secretary of the chamber of commerce of the city, a post he held for four years. Herbert Battles Tanner died in Eastland, Texas, on December 4, 1933. His wife, Mary Georgina Miller (Boyd) Tanner, died five years later, on October 12, 1938.

Scope and Content Note

The papers were created and collected by Herbert Battles Tanner. His children Herbert Johnson Tanner and Blanche Lawe Tanner also worked with the papers, sometimes rearranging them or adding to them. (Examples of the handwriting of father, son, and daughter are included in the paper register file in the Archives Reading Room.) Herbert Battles Tanner arranged the papers genealogically; his son superimposed on this arrangement an alphabetical one. (For the transcription of the folder headings created by Herbert Johnson Tanner and marginally by Blanche Lawe Tanner, as received by the Archives in November 1981, see reel 13, frames 234-240). Documents dated after the death of Herbert Battles Tanner in most cases were written or received by Herbert Johnson Tanner or Blanche Lawe Tanner.

The present arrangement of the collection by the Archives differs in several respects from the previous arrangement. Several folders sometimes have been created from a single folder; for example, the folders for George Boyd, Jr., Robert Dundas Boyd, and William Henry Crawford Boyd (reel 14, frames 717-730; reel 15, frames 00-37 and 311-377) were formed from one folder, “Boyd, William; George; Robert - My Great Uncles (HJT).” The genealogical material in the collection has been restored to the original arrangement of Herbert Battles Tanner.

The collection is divided into two series: Herbert Battles Tanner and The Families of Herbert Battles Tanner and Mary Georgina Miller (Boyd) Tanner. The first part contains material on the life, career, and interests of Tanner. The subseries in the main are organized by activity. The second series contains material by or about past and contemporary relatives of Tanner and his wife; it also contains material relating to activities he and she shared (for example, Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary [1931, Sept. 1], reel 11, frames 706-769). The subseries in this part are organized genealogically: for Herbert Battles Tanner the subseries are Tanner and Battles; for his wife, Boyd, Johnson, Lawe, and Grignon. To facilitate the use of the second series, genealogical charts are provided in the paper register file in the Archives Reading Room; an index of individuals appearing in folder titles (usually in the second series) also is provided in the appendix of this finding aid.

Materials within folders usually are arranged in the following order: photographs; primary material, such as correspondence; notes by Herbert Battles Tanner and Herbert Johnson Tanner; newspaper clippings. Letters in the collection precede addresses and envelopes; originals precede transcripts. Folders titled Miscellany begin with a brief description of their contents; folders which are arranged alphabetically by correspondent begin with a list of the correspondents.

HERBERT BATTLES TANNER series

The Autobiographical Material subseries contains several of Tanner's biographical sketches, interesting recollections, especially of his youth, a few journal entries, diaries, and newspaper articles by or about him. The diary of 1880 is a record of events, experiences, and observations; the other diaries (1893-1933, except for 1897 and 1917) are registers of memoranda, addresses, and financial accounts.

The Travel subseries contains material on visits to the Centennial and Sesquicentennial Expositions at Philadelphia, 1876 and 1926, and three travel diaries. The folder on the Sesquicentennial Exposition and the diaries also include material relating to Tanner's genealogical and historical interests.

The Civic and Social Activities subseries contains fragmentary material relating to Tanner's participation in church and Masonic affairs. The major part of Church, 1870-1931, (reel 4, frames 237-330) consists of correspondence with the Reverend Quincy Lamartine Dowd, the minister who married Herbert Battles and Mary Georgina Miller (Boyd) Tanner. This folder and two others (reel 4, frames 331-394 and 400-452) include public addresses of Tanner. To appreciate the range of his civic activities and manner of expression at social gatherings, it also might be useful to examine the addresses he delivered to medical societies and Kaukauna's high school (reel 5, frames 00-118; and reel 9, frames 16-47). Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (reel 4, frames 395-399), consists of only three letters: in the first letter, February 7, 1905, Booker T. Washington acknowledged Herbert Battles Tanner's interest in the institute; in the second and third letters, August 1 and 5, 1939, George Washington Carver and Herbert Johnson Tanner discussed the southwestern peanut festival, which was included in the 13th annual county fair of Eastland, Texas.

The Medicine subseries contains fragmentary material relating to Tanner's medical studies and graduation, correspondence with fellow classmates and other alumni afterwards as well as with William J. Mayo; certificates of membership in state medical societies; medical examiner and railway surgeon appointments; correspondence on first world war service; addresses and papers; and physician's visiting lists. Indiana Medical College, 1876-1878, (reel 4, frames 475-510) includes, “Norie; or the adventures of two Medical Students,” written by Tanner in the autumn of 1877.

The Business subseries contains fragmentary material relating to business ventures as well as financial accounts and receipts. For material on the Rio Tamasopo Sugar Company, see the series Mexico (reel 8, frames 223-382).

The Politics subseries is divided geographically into three parts: a description of the St. Louis railroad strike, July 25, 1877; Wisconsin politics, especially in the 1890s; and, Texas politics, almost completely in the 1920s. The Wisconsin correspondence concerns local political races as well as Tanner's appointment as state supervisor of state inspectors of illuminating oils; the Texas correspondence principally pertains to his race in the seventeenth congressional district in 1926. For Tanner's activities as clerk of the school board of Kaukauna's south district, circa 1890, see Schools of Kaukauna, 1891-1926 (reel 9, frames 16-47); for his observations on United States foreign policy and Mexico, see Letters from United States Politicians, 1910-1924, and Correspondence, 1908-1930, 1937 (reel 8, frames 286-382).

The Mexico subseries consists of family letters and correspondence with United States politicians, businessmen, newspaper editors, and the war department. It contains some information on the difficulties of the Rio Tamasopo Sugar Company from 1913 on, descriptions of the Mexican revolution, and suggestions on foreign policy.

The Kaukauna subseries contains interesting material relating to Tanner's historical interest in Kaukauna. It also includes some material on his involvement in the town's schools as well as on local celebrations and pageants. The section History of the Streets of Kaukauna [1931] is divided into drafts, related correspondence, and research.

The Other Historical Interests subseries contains material on Indians, in large part made up of newspaper clippings, three notebooks, and correspondence with the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and the West Texas Historical Association.

The Entertainment and the Arts subseries includes correspondence with authors, editors, and journalists; theatre and concert programs collected by Herbert Battles Tanner and Herbert Johnson Tanner; and aphorisms which Herbert Battles Tanner collected.

The Newspaper Clippings subseries consists of articles on people, things, and events, which Tanner collected. James Whitcomb Riley [1849-1916, Indiana poet], 1929, (reel 10, frames 51-57) includes an article written by Tanner about his days as a newsboy in Indianapolis.

THE FAMILIES OF HERBERT BATTLE TANNER AND MARY GEORGINA MILLER (BOYD) TANNER series

The arrangement of the six subseries of series two is genealogical in the following order: the paternal and maternal sides of Herbert Battles Tanner--Tanner and Battles; and of Mary Georgina Miller (Boyd) Tanner--Boyd, Johnson, Lawe (including Rankin), and Grignon. Children follow parents. A wife, whose maiden and married name both are represented by series titles, appears in both series; for example, Mary Ann (Battles) Tanner can be found in the subseries Tanner, after her husband, and in the subseries Battles, after her father. Folder titles do not include the names of relatives of the principal, such as husband, wife, or children, except for a daughter who has married and consequently may be known by her married name; for example, the title of frames 395-468 on reel 10, organized around Julia Ann (Tanner) Eaton, names her married daughter, Josephine (Eaton) Marquisee, but not her husband, James Eaton Jr., or her other daughter, Annie S. Eaton, although they too appear in the folder.

The subseries are preceded by a genealogical notebook (reel 10, frames 60-140) in which Tanner made entries from 1903 to circa 1933. The notebook is especially helpful in providing information on the more recent generations of his and his wife's family; it is a good supplement to the genealogical material which he gathered and which appears throughout series two. The genealogical material beginning each of the subseries usually takes up two folders: charts, sketches, and notes in the first folder; related correspondence in the second. When studying an individual and Tanner's research, it may be useful to look at the two folders beginning the relevant subseries as well as the folder devoted to the individual. It would be worthwhile to examine the folders on close relatives: the correspondence of nineteenth-century figures appearing in the papers is usually with parents, brothers and sisters, husband or wife, or children (for example, “Boyd's seven devils,“ reel 14, frames 717-868 and 971-1022; reel 15, frames 00-193 and 311-377); the correspondence of twentieth-century figures often is with Tanner himself, and may contain past as well as current information. (For example, Imogene (Tanner) Stanton [1816-1888] and Vina (Stanton) Stark, 1855-1931, reel 10, frames 529-573.)

The subseries contain some information on the early history of Wisconsin, since they include papers of some of its first settlers; for example, George Boyd, Indian agent for the federal government in the 1820s and 1830s (reel 14, frames 482-640). Students of United States history also may be interested in the correspondence between Louisa Catherine (Johnson) Adams, wife of John Quincy Adams, and her sister, Harriet (Johnson) Boyd (reel 14, frames 667-716).

Herbert Johnson Tanner, with the help of his sister, compiled scrapbooks, “Blanche Lawe Tanner, Her Family Tree” (reel 12, frames 951-1065) and “The Family Tree of Herbert Johnson Tanner” (reel 13, frames 106-233 and reel 15, frames 641-727), consisting of photographs, genealogical charts, and copies of letters which they considered especially important for the history of the family. The original letters appear in their appropriate folders elsewhere in the papers; as an extreme example, virtually all of the letters of Louisa Catherine (Johnson) Adams to her sister, Harriet Johnson Boyd (reel 15, frames 641-727), appear again as transcripts made by Herbert Battles Tanner in his son's scrapbook (reel 15, frames 641-727). Each of the two folders which contain Blanche's scrapbooks is introduced with a description of its contents; the five folders containing Herbert's scrapbooks have general titles in the contents list indicating their contents.
