Mosely family papers, 1673-2000 (bulk 1842-ca. 1940).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53042876

Correspondence, diaries, and miscellaneous papers by or relating to the John M. and [Julia] Anna (Holcomb) Mosely family of Granby, Conn. and Westfield, Mass. John Mosely's letter from Marysville, Calif., "Gateway to the Goldfields," includes references to gold mining. Entries in Anna's diary concern the weather, social visits, church attendance, chores and housekeeping duties, social events, and the birthdays, marriages, illnesses, and deaths of family and friends. There are also personal financial accounts and occasional entries about teaching (e.g. number of scholars). Anna also kept a small notebook, 1853, in which she recorded information useful for a teacher: notes and facts on various subjects, "odd bits of advice", proverbs, and "rules for the teacher." Arthur Mosely's diaries describe work on his grandfather Holcomb's farm in Granby, then work on a farm in Westfield. Entries concern crops, cultivation of fields, livestock, and metal work. There is a scrapbook by Eliza (Rust) Mosely, containing newspaper clippings on Wolfeborough [NH] high school; some social and family events; and Eliza's arts and crafts shop. There is also some genealogical correspondence concerning the Jewett family, a few invitations or announcements; family photographs; and a brief handwritten Holcomb/Goddard genealogy.
