Abstract:

An unusually complete set of business records kept by three generations of the Rowley family, physicians who practiced medicine in Wisconsin for nearly a century, at Verona, 1851-1864, and at Middleton, 1864-1948. From 1868 to 1880 the two elder doctors also operated a drugstore at Middleton. The papers include visiting lists recording cases treated; prescription books; and account books and daybooks for the drug business and for the medical practices of Newman C. Rowley, Antinous A. Rowley, and A. Gilbert Rowley. Essays on the drugstore and the three doctors by Jessica Rowley are also included. Family correspondence, diaries, family trees, and other genealogical information relate to the history of the Rowley, Wheelwright, and Campbell families. Also included are business papers relating to Antinous and Newman Rowley, and Antinous Rowley's Civil War letters to his parents.
