Papers of the Wimbish family [manuscript], 1852-1939 (bulk, 1887-1908).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647814446

This collection consists of family correspondence and photographs of the Wimbish and related families. Most of the letters are to Lucy Townes Wimbish or her husband, Lewis W. Wimbish (1846-?) of Mecklenburg County, Virginia, and are generally from their children, particularly William Townes Wimbish as a medical student at the University of Virginia, 1894-1896, and later in practice in Nuttallburg, West Virginia. The collection also includes letters from daughters Emmet and Lucy discussing their careers as nurse and school teacher, respectively; from son Claiborne in Bisbee, Az.; and, from William Townes, a Memphis, Tenn., dentist who mentions Pauline Hall as a patient. The collection also contains genealogical notes regarding the Wimbish family, a few accounts and other miscellaneous material. The photographs include: a well-identified group of uniformed cadets at an unknown institution with William Townes Wimbish listed as first captain (1894); the Old Eagle Point Mill [near the Roanoke River]; individuals of the Boyd, Hannah, Townes and Wimbish families, all identified; and a miscellaneous group of related families and friends, such as Mary Townes Davies, Nick Edmunds, Mary Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. A.S. Lee, Sallie Moon, Jim Patello, Mary Rawlins, W. Sanford, Mrs. R.T. Sturdivant, R.T. Thorp, Ellen F. Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Joe P. Turner, Courtney Warthall, Nellie Whitlaw, and Alice Williams.
