Manuscripts
The documents reveal the range of legal, financial, and estate-related transactions initiated by or concerning the Stoneman family and their associates. Included in this series are legal agreements, banking statements, inventories of the Stoneman's estate, and general financial records. The correspondence includes personal and business letters to and by the Stoneman family members and their associates. Two letters dated January 1889 were written by General George Stoneman while he was still living in Los Angeles. Most of the letters were penned after the generals' death in September 1894, and directed to John T. Stoneman, administrator of his brother's estate. The ephemera includes newspaper clippings (obituaries of George Stoneman from Buffalo, NY newspapers) and several miscellaneous items. Notable participants include William B. Allison, Thomas Updegraff and the United States Army.
