Carnegie Estate business records, 1886-1959 (bulk 1900-1920).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145567465

Despite their individual unimportance, the records in bulk represent about half of the collection and document the intricacies of daily life on the Carnegie Estate on Cumberland Island, especially at Dungeness, Stafford, Greyfield, and Plum Orchard. What exists here are not the lives of the Carnegies but the life of an Estate they had created and which, for a while, took on a life of its own. Cancelled checks and disbursement vouchers were not saved, nor are invoices for every year complete. Major sets of records cover the Cumberland Route steamboat line, the Drew stationers, H.E. Dotterer, Standard Oil Company, and Western Union Telegraph Company.
