Horace Hall Cummings family papers 1865-1937 1880-1887

http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv46743

Collection is comprised mostly of letters received by Horace Cummings. Although he is probably best known as the general superintendent of Mormon Church schools, this collection documents two earlier periods of the life of Horace H. Cummings. First was his short residence in Logan, Utah in the fall and winter of 1880-81 where he taught at Brigham Young College and published the Logan Leader, a weekly newspaper. Second was his Mormon mission to Mexico from 1885-1887 where he served as mission president in 1887. Collection includes correspondence from his wife Barbara Matilda, Erastus Snow, Henry B. Eyring, B.F. Cummings Sr., Julian Moses, and Helaman Pratt. Also includes his Mexican mission account book, the 1880-81 account book for the Logan Leader, and various personal and family ledgers dating from the 1860s to the 1930s.
