http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37817910

Papers of Daniel Shine Hill consist chiefly of business correspondence, letters concerning the Sons of the Temperance Society, receipts, and price lists. Hill dealt primary in dry goods, groceries, hardware, clothing, and textiles, chiefly with merchants from Petersburg, Va., as well as local businessmen and other merchants along the eastern seaboard. He was a very active member of the Sons of the Temperance Society and items concerning this organization appear frequently throughout this collection. There is also some correspondence relating to Louisburg Female College and to the sale of cotton and the status of the cotton market and a few brief items concerning the hiring of freed slaves. The addition of November 2003 includes an account book, 1852-1864, containing details of Hill's financial arrangements with overseers, recipes for a number of folk remedies, and other information.
