William W. Ranney papers, 1858-1927 1858-1895 (bulk dates).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/15925342

Comprised of letters of the Ranney family, this collection documents family life in the mid-nineteenth century in Boston, Kentucky and in the midwest. Some of this collection includes Civil War letters from military camps in the deep South, one referring to the appointment of Stephen Burbridge as brigadier-general. Also included are letters from Viva Martin, Susan Atherton's daughter, who married into a tobacco manufacturing family from Greenville, Ky. Her letters mention some of the problems faced by her husband in the depressed agricultural economy after the Civil War, but are, for the most part, personal.
