UW-Milwaukee Libraries, Archives / Milwaukee Area Research Ctr. (Map)
Papers documenting the business ventures of three generations of the Sherry family, containing information on more than twenty business concerns in paper manufacturing, lumbering, electric power, and real estate in the Park Falls, Milwaukee, and Neenah, Wisconsin areas. Most thoroughly covered are the affairs of the Wisconsin Realty Company of Milwaukee, the Winnebago Realty Company of Neenah and Milwaukee, and the Flambeau Paper Company of Park Falls. All the firms apparently were centrally administered by the Sherry family. Most of the collection dates from 1898 to 1941 when Edward P. Sherry directed the family's interests; the largest group of records documents Edward's running of the Wisconsin Realty Company, and its involvement in the building of the Flambeau Reservoir (now called the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage), and the development of dams and electric power along the Wolf River in Langlade County. Records prior to 1898 consist largely of land deeds, grants, and patents, with fragmentary correspondence and financial records. For the post-1940 period various types of records exist, but all are fragmentary.

Biography/History
The Sherry family of Milwaukee and Neenah has been prominent in state commercial circles since the end of the Civil War. Their interests have included some of Wisconsin's most important industries: paper manufacturing, electric power, lumbering, and real estate. Hugh Sherry, a native of Philadelphia, located in Neenah in 1849 and engaged in the milling business. However, he remained in Neenah for only a few years before moving to Minnesota. It was under Hugh's son Henry, born August 3, 1837 in East Menden, New York, that the family's Wisconsin holdings expanded and first flourished. Henry apparently remained in Neenah to oversee the family holdings after his father went to Minnesota. On May 2, 1865 he married Abbie Paddock of Ripon. They had one child, Edward Paddock Sherry, born at Neenah April 12, 1871. E. P. Sherry graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1892 and entered the family business shortly thereafter.
By the 1870s Henry Sherry owned a shingle mill and saw mill, and operated one of the largest lumber businesses in the state. During the 1880s he acquired extensive land holdings in the Flambeau River region from Cornell University and other sources, secured rail service to his holdings, and purchased a saw mill, dam, and water rights at Park Falls. In August 1890 the Park Falls Lumber and Pulp Company was incorporated, with Henry Sherry holding 150 of its 200 shares of stock. In April 1895 the corporate name was changed to the Park Falls Lumber Company, and in September of that year a new concern, the Park Falls Paper and Pulp Company was formed. Initially, Henry Sherry and C. W. Howard held an equal number of shares, but within six months Howard had severed his connection with the firm, leaving Sherry in control.
The Sherry family lost heavily in the depression of 1897, and both Henry and E. P. were forced into bankruptcy. However, the business of rebuilding the family holdings began almost immediately. In August 1898, the defunct Park Falls Paper and Pulp Company was reincorporated as the Flambeau Paper Company, and in 1899 the Winnebago Realty Company and the Wisconsin Realty Company were formed. Controlling shares in the Winnebago Realty Company were held by the Sherry family. The Milwaukee Trust Company, holder of a mortgage on the paper company, held controlling interest in both the paper company and the Wisconsin Realty Company. Management of the paper company and the Wisconsin Realty Company rested with E. P. Sherry. After the bankruptcy Henry Sherry's role in the family businesses became progressively more limited, although he retained an active interest in the Winnebago Realty Company and the Flambeau Shingle Mill. Moreover, until his death on November 7, 1919, he remained a close adviser to his son.
Between 1904 and 1906 the Flambeau Paper Company sold its products through the General Paper Company, a marketing trust which was declared a monopoly and broken up by the federal government in 1906. The following year the Milwaukee Trust Company relinquished control over the paper company and Wisconsin Realty Company. E. P. Sherry subsequently served as president of the paper company until 1935. Under his direction, the mill consistently prospered and expanded. Major improvements included the addition of hydraulic power plants, a sulphite mill, and other facilities which made the company largely self-sufficient in terms of its power, pulp, and paper making needs. In addition, a storage dam was built approximately 20 miles north of Park Falls in 1926. The effectively maintained a uniform flow of water, and prevented potentially dangerous spring floods. During this same period E. P. Sherry founded and presided over a number of related firms in the Park Falls area, including the Park Falls Water, Light and Power Company, Flambeau Public Service Company, Flambeau Farm, and Flambeau Power Company. He also took an active role in the Wisconsin Water Power Association and other interest groups designed to further the goals of water power and paper manufacturing interests in the state and region.
On January 15, 1902, E. P. Sherry married Laura Case of Prairie du Chien. They had one child, Avery, born in 1904. Avery Sherry received degrees from Princeton in 1927, and the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration in 1929. He joined his father in business after finishing school, and succeeded him as head of the family concerns after the elder Sherry's death on August 6, 1941. Under the stewardship of Avery Sherry, the Flambeau Paper Company was sold to the Kansas City Star Company in 1947. As of this writing, the Winnebago Realty Company and the Wisconsin Realty Company are still in business and are presided over by Avery Sherry.

Scope and Content Note
The Sherry collection documents the business ventures of three generations of the Sherry family. The collection contains information on more than twenty business concerns which the Sherry's controlled and which were located primarily in the Park Falls, Milwaukee, and Neenah areas. Most thoroughly covered are the affairs of the Wisconsin Realty Company of Milwaukee, the Winnebago Realty Company of Neenah and Milwaukee, and the Flambeau Paper Company of Park Falls. All the firms seemed to be centrally administered by the Sherry family and thus can be viewed as a single large enterprise rather than numerous separate businesses. Although the collection spans the years 1853-1961, most of the records are concentrated in the period 1898-1941, when E. P. Sherry directed the family's interests. Records prior to 1898 consist largely of land deeds, grants, and patents, with fragmentary correspondence and financial records. For the post-1940 period various types of records exist, but all are fragmentary.
Most of the companies in which the Sherry family had interests and whose activities are documented in this collection include the following:
- Chippewa and Flambeau Improvement Company
- Finger Land and Lumber Company
- Flambeau Farm
- Flambeau Paper Company
- Flambeau Power Company
- Flambeau Public Service Company
- Flambeau Reservoir Company
- Flambeau Shingle Mill
- Frontier Lumber and Supply Company
- Home Company
- Ingersoll Land and Lumber Company
- Langlade Power Company
- Mortgage Associates
- Park Falls Lumber and Pulp Company
- Park Falls Manufacturing Company
- Park Falls Paper and Pulp Company
- Park Falls Water, Light and Power Company
- Sherry Lumber Company
- West Range Railroad Company
- Winnebago Realty Company
- Wisconsin Public Service Company
- Wisconsin Realty Company
The records themselves are divided into broad functional categories. Each of these is then subdivided, usually by type of record and company, or individual, to whom the records pertain. Due to the nature of the family businesses, it is frequently difficult to distinguish the records of one family-owned company from another. The five major series are ORGANIZATIONAL RECORDS, including by-laws, minutes, and other records for nine different companies; CORRESPONDENCE, the most extensive series, containing detailed information about the operations of the Wisconsin Realty Company, the Flambeau Paper Company, and many of the other family interests; LAND RECORDS, comprised primarily of documents on the acquisition and sale of lands by the Sherrys; FINANCIAL RECORDS, including operating statements, stock certificates, trial balance records, accounts, inventories, and tax returns; and LEGAL RECORDS, containing considerable information on the bankruptcy of E. P. and Henry Sherry in 1898, as well as court and regulatory commission case records, contracts, and agreements.

|
Series: Organizational Records, 1890-1926, 1959-1961
: The Organizational Records are arranged alphabetically by company, and typically include articles of association, by-laws, board of directors' minutes, and lists of stockholders. The minutes are generally very brief and report the election of officers and such things as authorizations for land purchases or mortgages. An exception to the general content of the series is the Flambeau Paper Company file which contains a detailed manuscript history of the company through 1914. The history, which was written by E. P. Sherry shortly before his death, provides background information on family holdings in the Park Falls area as well as information on the operation of the paper mill.

Series: Correspondence, 1871, 1891-1957This series contains correspondence files of the Wisconsin Realty Company, the Flambeau Paper Company, the Frontier Lumber and Supply Company, Henry Sherry, the Triangle Club, the Winnebago Realty Company, and Wisconsin Water Power Association. The letters of the Wisconsin Realty Company are by far the most extensive and significant. They are mainly letters to and from E. P. Sherry, whose office was at the Wisconsin Realty Company headquarters in Milwaukee. The files concern not only the affairs of the Wisconsin Realty Company, but also the Flambeau Paper Company, the Winnebago Realty Company, and most of the family's other business interests. To a lesser extent they also document E. P. Sherry's personal interests and his charitable pursuits, including the Red Cross and the Visiting Nurses Association. The Wisconsin Realty Company files are subdivided into incoming correspondence, arranged alphabetically by the name of the sender or the company represented; outgoing correspondence, arranged chronologically; and subject files. The outgoing letters from 1898 through May 1930 are in letterpress copy books and each volume contains a separate index. After May 1930 letters are unbound but continue to be in chronological order, except that all letters to the Flambeau Paper Company are filed separately. Of central importance to understanding the Sherry enterprises are the letters of the on-site managers and employees of the various family concerns. All important policy decisions were referred to E. P., and later Avery Sherry in Milwaukee, and in most instances employees reported weekly or even daily. Important correspondents in this regard include the Flambeau Paper Company and its manager Guy Waldo; H. C. Bruce, who was employed to survey and estimate land and timber value on lands the Sherry's owned or were considering purchasing; E. E. Ramsdell of the Sherry Lumber Company; and J. B. Saunders of the Wisconsin Realty Company's Park Falls office. The correspondence between E. P. and Henry Sherry is also significant because it frequently concerns major problems and decisions affecting the family holdings. The Sherrys also had frequent dealings with individuals and other companies engaged in real estate, lumbering, and paper manufacturing in Wisconsin and surrounding states. Among these were F. J. Sensenbrenner of Kimberly-Clark and the General Paper Company; F. I. Salter, a Duluth, Minnesota realtor; the Brown Brothers Lumber Company of Rhinelander; the Dells Paper Company of Eau Claire; the James W. Good Land Company of Ashland; G. F. Sanborn, an Eagle River attorney and realtor; the Menasha Wooden Ware Company; W. S. Paddock of Milwaukee's Cream City Sash and Door Company; the Milwaukee law firm of Miller, Mack, and Fairchild; and the Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company of Marshfield. Wisconsin Realty Company subject files concern a number of special projects. The largest of these is the Flambeau Reservoir (now called the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage), which was constructed about 20 miles north of Park Falls. The Reservoir correspondence is arranged alphabetically by the names of the property owners from whom the Sherrys secured land for the project. Other subject files deal with dams and the development of electric power along the Wolf River in Langlade County. By comparison, the correspondence files for Henry Sherry, three of the other business firms, the Triangle Club, the Winnebago Realty Company, and the Wisconsin Water Power Association are all quite small. The Flambeau Paper Company file concerns the purchase of paper-making machinery and mill expansion and construction plans. Henry Sherry's correspondence consists of two letterpress copy books; the earlier letters deal with sale of paper manufactured by the Flambeau Paper Company, and the others concern the Winnebago Realty Company. Triangle Club letters deal primarily with Avery Sherry's involvement with the Milwaukee branch of this Princeton University alumni group. Winnebago Realty Company files consist of outgoing letters of A. A. Pribnow and mainly concern transactions of the Flambeau Shingle Mill, a company owned by the Winnebago Realty Company and Henry Sherry. E. P. Sherry served as secretary of the Wisconsin Water Power Association. Letters of this group concern the organizing of industry opposition to state legislation restricting water power development.

Series: Land Records, 1853-1956The Land Records consist of records of Tax Deeds, Conveyances, Land and Timber, Record Books, and a Land Journal. The land conveyances are formal documents recording transfers of property and are the most numerous items in the series. They include deeds and titles which are further subdivided by acquisitions (deeds and titles made out to the Sherrys), sales (deeds and titles from the Sherrys), and miscellaneous (deeds and titles neither to nor from the Sherrys). Acquisitions and miscellaneous are arranged by county, while sales are in chronological order. The conveyances also include satisfactions of mortgages, U. S. Land Office Grants, State of Wisconsin Land Patents (recording sales of land to the Sherrys by the state), and articles of agreement. The grants and patents are organized by range number. Almost all of them cover lands in Towns 38 through 45 North. The articles of agreement, which are a form of contract concerning the transfer of land, water, and mineral rights, the satisfactions of mortgages and the timber contracts are each in chronological order. The land record books note the size and location of lands held by various companies. The land and timber record books and the examiner's reports describe in detail the types and quantity of timber on Sherry lands. The land journal records sales, purchases, and a brief description of the lands involved.

Series: Financial Records, 1860-1960The Financial Records series include Annual Financial Statements, Operating Statements, Combined Records, Stock Certificates, Trial Balances, Accounts, Appraisals and Inventories, Journals, and Tax Records. The annual financial statements summarize briefly the assets and liabilities of various companies. Operating statements give a detailed accounting of monthly production, and occasionally include annual summaries for the Flambeau Paper Company, 1898-1935 and the Park Falls Manufacturing Company, 1906-1912. Included are manufacturing costs, salaries, production costs, etc. Combined record books contain various types of financial records found together in the same volume, and the trial balances are debit and credit listings, usually by month. The accounts are comprised of ledgers, which list accounts by individual or company; cash accounts and cash books, which are a chronological listing of debits and credits; accounts receivable/payable, and rent account books. Included in the tax records are both personal and corporate returns, 1909-1929, and land tax lists, which record the amount of money paid in property taxes.

Series: Legal Records, 1884-1941The Legal Records include papers concerning the bankruptcy of 1898, court and regulatory commission cases, and contracts, agreements and miscellaneous papers. The bankruptcy papers consist of claims against E. P. and Henry Sherry, and their file of claims cards which record moneys and interest owed. The court and regulatory commission cases include a transcript of the hearing before the Railroad Commission of Wisconsin concerning dams owned by the Flambeau Paper Company and the Wisconsin Realty Company across the Flambeau River, and alleged statute violations dealing with water levels, flowage, and stream pollution. The Flambeau River Lumber Company vs. The Chippewa and Flambeau Improvement Company deals with a complain that the latter inhibited the Flambeau River Lumber Company's business of driving logs on the Flambeau River in 1926. The records also include the appellant's brief and the hearing transcript of the case in which the Flambeau River Company contested the action of the Board of Review of the City of Park Falls in determining the assessable value of the paper mill plant at Park Falls in 1929. The contracts, agreements and miscellaneous papers contain contracts and purchase agreements involving various Sherry enterprises. Also included are annual corporation reports, applications to sell securities, and other filings required by state law.
