E.L. Wehner Papers 1926-1980.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/181099649

These records document the role of E.L. Wehner (also known as Ernest L. or "Pete" Wehner) as executor of the estate of Ima Hogg. They reflect Wehner's initial concerns that accepting the position of executor may present a conflict of interest. They include correspondence, financial records and tax returns, the wills of Ima Hogg and Alice Hogg Hanszen, paperwork from the executors, and news clippings that document Hogg's life and death. Of particular interest are the correspondence files concerning Memorial Park. These include early correspondence regarding the commercial use of Memorial Park (1962), requests throughout the period (1960s - 1980) for road improvements, the opening of a new Botanical Garden (1964), oil drilling (in the 1960s and 1970s), riding stables (1966, 1968), a possible garden center (1973) and railroad museum (1975.)
