Papers, 1874-1938.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145782059

Papers of an eminent Chicago lawyer, authority on municipal bonds, classical scholar, and patron of the arts. The collection documents his private life but scarcely touches on his professional work in law. Included are the personal correspondence of both Horace S. Oakley and his half-sister Mary O. Hawley, a subject file on the activities and interests of Oakley's life, a collection of printed material by or about Oakley, and a scrapbook from his student years (1881-1883) at the University of Michigan. The papers collected by Mary O. Hawley, as she continued to maintain contact with her brother's friends and associates, also form a significant part of the collection.
