The Mahers were a prominent Toledo family. This collection consists primarily of letters to William H. Maher (1846-1913), a businessman, writer, and political reformist, but also includes letters written to his wife Anne (Kelsey) Maher, as well as a few written to their daughter Amy Grace Maher, feminist and social activist. William also purchased a number of autograph letters and signatures from the Revolutionary, Early National, and Civil War eras.
