Papers of James W. and Dutee A. Whelan, prominent citizens of Buffalo County, Wisconsin, and records of their dairy farm known as "Whelandale," located just north of Mondovi. The collection provides documentation, particularly through photographs, of the Whelans' dairy operation, family life, and the region in which they lived. Also included are the typewritten reminiscences of Mr. R.B. Doane, entitled "My Trip to China - 1874." Doane (whose relationship to the Whelans is not known) describes his preparations for sailing from New York to Shanghai, and the 120-day journey on the cutter ship "The Oliver Cutts."
