Serven-Winters family papers, 1795-1917 1862-1863.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53462363

The papers consist largely of the certificates, correspondence, and invitations of the allied Serven and Winters Family of Paterson, New Jersey. The papers range from 1795-1917, with bulk dates of 1862-1863 and 1900-1911. The family records in the collection are largely made up of certificates (birth, marriage, death) documenting Mary and Marshall Winters' family. Benjamin R. Serven's letters to his parents cover his entire service in the Union army, October 1862-January 1863. The letters describe his regiment's movements, the death of his friends during the Battle of Fredericksburg, and his stay in the hospital. The last series of documents is mostly made up of invitations to various functions. It also contains a poem written by Mary (Serven) Winters and a calling card of Marshall Winters.
