- Description:
- Three ledgers from the grocery business operations of Martin A. Sweet, Mason, Michigan. Martin A. Sweet was born in about 1826 in Pennsylvania. His first wife Margarette died in 1855. They had a son Perry that year. He was married again to Lydia A. Williams in 1865, and they had two daughters, Nettie and Allie. Lydia was a dressmaker. Martin started his business with only $35 but at the end of his active days was quite successful. He built the Pioneer Block building in downtown Mason, where his "Pioneer Grocery" was located. He died on February 21, 1881, and is buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery in Mason. The first ledger in this collection is a "day book" for May 31, 1873 to May 25, 1874, in which Martin Sweet recorded entries with date, customer name, items purchased, prices and total, and a unique number for each transaction in the left margin. These numbers may have referred to an index of customers that is not present. This day book has been disbound and may be missing pages. Second is a receipt book from 1877 which has the name Nellie Sweet written in the front end papers. Sweet had a daughter who is listed as Nettie or Nellie in different sources, as well as another daughter named Allie. This bound volume includes an index of customers with page number references at front, and records of their purchases by date, with prices and totals. Finally, a volume of pasted-in receipts from suppliers in Jackson, Detroit, and Lansing is included, which dates from 1875 to 1877 in reverse order. This volume's binding is in poor condition. Many receipts have elaborate vignettes and typefaces. Also in the collection are two small adhesive-backed labels from the M. A. Sweet store which reads "Dealer in Groceries, Provisions, Flour, Feed, Canned Goods, Oysters, &c."

- Description:
- This collection contains two patient account ledgers from the medical practice of Dr. J. S. North of Lansing, Michigan, and one autograph book belonging to Louisa Buck North. The first ledger's records date from 1895 to 1902, and includes an incomplete index of patient names at the beginning. The second ledger's records date from 1896 to 1911 and also contains a name index at front. Generally the records are for a head of household, and each entry may specify which family member or resident was treated. Treatment details are sparse, usually explained as "Visit & med." with the cost of service. Sometimes the entries are for services or products Dr. North obtained, such as threshing or lumber. Louisa Buck North's autograph book mostly records her farewell from New York state in 1841, when she left for "the wilds of Michigan."

- Description:
- A small collection of correspondence and photographs related to the Whiteley and Zimmerman families. These materials were possibly collected by Nellie M. Whiteley Zimmerman, whose name appears frequently in them. The collection also includes a disbound, oversize volume of what appear to be personal receipts for all kinds of household goods such as paint or contractor services; personal items like clothing and perfume; antiques and other home decorations; insurance; utility bills; membership renewals for fraternal organizations, clubs, etc.; and lots and lots of pigeon seed. Nearly all receipts have Nellie Zimmerman's name on them. The materials from this volume date from 1929 to 1953, and represent many local businesses and organizations in the Lansing area, including their often illustrated letterheads. The Whiteley family home was located at 414 South Washington Street in Lansing around the turn of the century. Photographs of the home are included in this collection, as are several portraits both identified and unidentified. Some may not have been taken in the Lansing area. The correspondence in the collection is mainly of a personal nature, to Nellie (Whiteley) Zimmerman or her mother Elizabeth. Most dates from before 1900.
