Coke family papers, 1822-1936 1900-1931 (bulk dates).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/15926728

The majority of the materials are financial in character but also include account books, ledgers, business documents and family sketches. Much of the collection relates to the Dark Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association of Hopkinsville, Ky. It includes stock certificates, tax receipts, real estate reports, bank receipts, Internal Revenue Service letters and documents and income tax returns and verifications. Petitions and supporting evidence refering to the road bond issue are present as well as documentation and petitions on the move to select candidates by direct primaries in the Democratic Party of Kentucky. Some of the more interesting items are a typescript of a family sketch of James Guthrie who was a lawyer in Bardstown and Nelson County, served as a U.S. Senator (1861-1872) and was in President Franklin Pierce's cabinet and a handwritten notebook describing the life of James Guthrie Coke (1841-1905). Also present are two U.S. Patents, one for car-couplings and one for band cutters and feeders, registered to James Guthrie Coke, et al. in 1882.
