This collection is divided into two series: the papers of Reverend Isaac Reed and his son, George, 1812-62, and the papers of Worthington and Josiah C. Williams and their family, 1835-1926. Isaac Reed's papers center around his ministerial and educational work. Included are his diaries from New York, Kentucky, and Indiana, 1814-1818 and 1850, and thirty nine sermons spanning the period 1817-1851. The collection also contains eighteen Civil War letters of Reed's son, George Whitfield Reed, a 1st lieutenant in Company I of the 27th Indiana Regiment. Reed describes military actions at the battles of Ball's Bluff, Front Royal, and Winchester in Virginia. Family materials of Worthington B. and Josiah C. Williams include business and personal correspondence, 1835-1926. The largest portion is the papers of Josiah C. Williams. The majority of his letters were written while attending school in Poughkeepsie, New York, and while serving in the Union Army, 1861-1865. Josiah Williams also writes home from Washington, D.C., as a member of the Indiana delegation to the Lincoln funeral. Also contained are three of Josiah's diaries, 1861-1864, and his notebook from 1864 containing an account of General Ruger's Atlanta Campaign and a history of the 27th Indiana Regiment.
