Correspondence of William B. Gerrish and Julia G. Gerrish, 1872-1939

Among the early items in this series are letters to "Willie" Gerrish signed from his sister "Mattie" (also sometimes signed as "Mary"). Of particular interest is a letter from Nathaniel Gerrish to Jacob Johann of the Wabash, St. Louis, & Pacific Railway Co., dated 1881, regarding employment for Nathaniel's son, William. This series contains a few letters from Martha Gerrish (later Metcalf) as well as an untitled and undated poem written by her about the Oberlin High School Class of 1907. The last folder in the series consists of letters written by William and Julia Gerrish to their five daughters, spanning the period 1915-1930. Arranged chronologically.
