Bement family. Bement family papers, 1845-1897 (bulk 1865-1889).

Title: Bement family papers, 1845-1897 (bulk 1865-1889).

Circa 80 items, mostly ALS written to Alice M. Bement Fletcher in Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, by members of her family. Thirty-three letters, 1865-1886, were written to Fletcher by Charles H. Bement, most discussing his life as a rancher near Kanosh, Millard County, Utah Territory. A few of these letters, written from Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana, 1884-1885, relate to his experiences as a missionary in those states. Other letters, 1873-1889, include ALS written to Alice M. Bement Fletcher from Mary and Jessie Cook, Jasper Fletcher, Ida A. and Maria J. Searle, Addie L. Fletcher, Rosa Adams, and Annie Rogers. Also included are single letters from Alice M. Bement Fletcher to Charles H. Bement, from Charles H. Bement to Arthur Bement, and from Sarah Warburton to Jasper Fletcher. These letters mostly concern family news, some also referring briefly to Mormon religious life. A letter written by Sarah J. Bement to Fred C. Pierce, and a letter from him to Bement, relate to Pierce's research in Forbes-Forbush family genealogy. Also present is a deed, dated 1845, autograph manuscript, signed by John S. Twiss, conveying land in Nauvoo, Illinois, to Bingham Bement, of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. Additional items are visiting cards and poems, undated; an autograph manuscript invoice for livestock, 1868; printed Salt Lake County and City tax receipts, completed in autograph manuscript, 1861-1876; and a printed program for a missionary farewell, Salt Lake City, 1897.
