Abstract:

Papers of the Hargraves of Ripon, Wis., concerning their daily activities and farm operations. Mainly consists of A. W.'s diaries which begin in 1913 and end in 1951 due to an illness which resulted in his 1952 death. His daily entries center on farm chores, livestock problems, crop records, and the weather. The recording of daily diary entries was immediately assumed by Winifred who continued until 1964 focusing on her social life with friends, neighbors, family, and church members. Also included are dairy herd record books (1926-1949); financial ledgers; and several family obituaries.
