Abstract:

Papers of a family from Union (Rock County, Wisconsin) consisting of correspondence regarding primarily news of family members school, health, and travels. Most of the correspondence was sent between J. Wells Brigham, who left Vermont to settle in Wisconsin, and his brother Bela, who remained in New England. Major news and political events, such as the Chicago and Peshtigo fires, are also mentioned. Yellow note cards are matched with each letter and summarize the letter's content. Early letters (in Folder 1) concern financial matters in Vermont; a brief family history is included in a later letter (in Folder 6).
