Papers of Samuel Baker Woods 1894-1937.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32671825

Papers of Woods consist primarily of business, legal, political and personal correspondence. With these are ledgers, journals, and letterpress copybooks pertaining to farming at Arrowhead and the Albemarle Orchard Company. Main topics in the correspondence are livestock sales, farming, insurance sales, property matters, prohibition and the Anti-Saloon League, Virginia and national politics, labor unions and strikes, and the Presbyterian Church including controversies regarding union with the Federal Council of Churches and a Charlottesville, Va., pastor whose theological soundness was questioned. Of interest are three letters from James B. Woods, Presbyterian missionary at Tsingkiangpu General Hospital, Ku, China, concerning hospital work, bandits, and the unstable political situation; a 1931-1932 directory of Albemarle County, Va., public schools, listing "white" and "colored" schools and teachers; and a broadside from L.B. Railey, local candidate for the House of Delegates. J.D. Eggleston, president of Hampden Sydney, is a major correspondent. Many prominent residents of Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Va., are represented by one or two letters as are a few noted national or Virginia political, educational or church leaders.
