Weil family papers, 1860s-1983 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33427700

Papers document the activities, ca. 1865-1982, of businesses owned by the Weil family, including H. Weil & Bros.; Weil's Inc., the department store; fertilizer, building, real estate, lumber, transportation, oil, farming, banking, and other enterprises; the Weil Employees' Trust Fund; and the Wayne Foundation. Also included are family papers, ca. 1893-1968, most relating to Leslie and Hilda Einstein Weil, who married in 1900; Leslie's mother Mina (d. 1941); and their children Abram, Hilda, Henry, Margaret, and Marian. Many letters in the 1890s detail Leslie's experiences as a student at UNC to Hilda in New York City, Chicago, and other locations. Some letters relate to UNC affairs, particularly in the 1930s during the first consolidation of the University and, in 1941, when Leslie, on the Board of Trustees, received an honorary degree. Also included are some materials relating to Jewish activities; a few household account and commonplace books; genealogical materials; and pictures of Weil family members and their businesses. There are only a few items that relate to Leslie's sister Gertrude Weil (1879-1971), women's suffrage and social welfare activist.
