Stafford family papers, 1832-1989.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34774434

The Stafford family papers are made up of the papers Dwight B. Stafford and his sons, Guy L. Stafford and Ralph E. Stafford of South Wallingford, Vermont. Included are account books of the Stafford Brothers farm, ca. 1936-1969, documenting milk and maple syrup production, and personal accounts. There are also diaries of Dwight Stafford, 1881-1908; Guy Stafford, 1915-1930, Ralph Stafford, 1918-1953, and of Ralph's wife, Mabel A. Rice Stafford, 1937-1941. Dwight Stafford's grandfather, Palmer Stafford, is represented in the collection, 1831-1840, as is his uncle Palmer Stafford, 1884-1897. Records of the Union Driving Park Society, 1902-1961, the Maple Valley Grange, 1904-1960, the Masons, 1907-1989, the Order of the Eastern Star, 1913-1965, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, 1895 and 1925, are included because of the involvement of family members in these various organizations. The Union Driving Park Society sponsored the annual South Wallingford Fair which included, among other things, horse races. There are papers in this collection of Ann Brown, 1911-1916; Ida Brown, 1884; and Abbie, Marcella E. and Mrs. Louisa Mason of Cavendish, Vermont, ca 1900-1910. The direct connection of these people to the Dwight Stafford family is unclear.
