Correspondence of the Reverend John N. Davidson, his parents, and his half-sister, Orpha E. Leavitt, with relatives, classmates, parishioners, and other associates. Also among the papers are the correspondence he carried on with other clergymen, 1890-1895, when he was writing a history of early missionary activity which was published in 1895 under the title In Unnamed Wisconsin, and the notes and records he collected later for a projected history of Congregational and other Protestant churches in the state [only available on microfilm]. Included too are a letterbook, 1886-1888, kept by the Reverend George A. Hood, secretary of the American Home Missionary Society at Ashland; and papers of two organizations with which Davidson was associated--financial records, 1898-1907, of the Prohibition State Central Committee for Wisconsin and minutes, 1884-1905, of the Fond du Lac Ministers Association. The oversize folder is a graphic history of the Congregational Church in Wisconsin.
