http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt5x0nd2ww

The Bohnett-Evans Family Papers, 1853-1994, are comprised of correspondence, legal files, and the memorabilia of two early California families, the Bohnetts of San Jose and the Evanses of San Francisco. The inclusive dates span more than a century and touch on such noteworthy topics as the California Gold Rush, Indian Wars, Progressive Party politics, and the urbanization of the San Jose area. A significant amount of information about women's history and the homefront during World War II may also be garnered from the correspondence and memorabilia in the collection. The best represented figures in the collection are General George S. Evans, Lewis D. (L.D.) Bohnett and his wife, Ivadelle (Bevens) Bohnett, their son, John B. Bohnett, and his wife Ruth Evans Bohnett.
