Papers, 1779-1910; (bulk 1855-1900).

Correspondence, business and legal papers, and printed matter, mostly 1855-1900, reflecting an interest in South Carolina affairs. All pre-1850 papers are legal documents concerned with land surveys and transfers; a few letters written while Dibble was a Confederate soldier relate to the home front; postwar correspondence deals with such matters as phosphate mining, education, professional activities, Afro-Americans in post-Reconstruction politics, and Dibble's opposition to Governor Tillman. Later papers display his expanding activities in banking and railroads. After 1900 the papers concern brother A.C. Dibble, and sons L.V., an insurance agent, and Samuel Jr., a surveyor and civil engineer.
