Hoag, Obediah Haight, b. 1837. Obediah Hoag family papers, 1855-1917.

Title: Obediah Hoag family papers, 1855-1917.

Correspondence (22 letters), legal documents (17), and miscellany pertaining to the Hoag family in Sonoma County, Calif. Correspondence includes: unsigned draft of speech on O.H. Hoag letterhead stationery (likely written by O.H. Hoag) making "a few remarks about the Chinese" and recommending "that they should be banished away from our fair land." The author's "remarks" include the spread of opium use and its effect on young Americans, the effect of cheap Chinese labor on the economy on the "white man", and the ability of the Chinese to live on very little means. Other correspondence are chiefly letters between O.H. Hoag and his wife and children, friends, and other family members. Two letters are written by a relative in Seattle inquiring about circumstances in California immediately after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Also included are several wedding announcement invitations and commencement invitations, one from Santa Rosa High (1890) and one University of California at Berkeley (1917). The legal documents include deeds, grants, mortgage bonds, power of attorney, mining rights on the Occidental Ledge, a hardware store ledger account bill, and a marriage license and certificate. The land documents deal chiefly with transactions in the Bloomfield and Analy townships in Sonoma County, Calif.
