Abstract:
Business and family papers of Vincent Roberts, a nineteenth-century farmer in Dodge County, Wisconsin, justice of the peace, and real estate and loan agent. The collection consists of correspondence, financial records, a notebook of poetry and justice of the peace records, and biographical and miscellaneous materials. Most of the correspondence relates to Roberts' business as a loan agent, and provides insights into the common methods of purchase and transferral of property and wealth in nineteenth-century Wisconsin agricultural areas. Also touched upon are the governmental duties conferred upon those willing to accept them at the time of the organization of the state of Wisconsin.
