Papers of Paul Spivey [manuscript], 1881-1967 bulk 1915-1967.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647830838

The collection contains correspondence, legal and business documents, plats and photographs, chiefly generated by Spivey while acting as co-executor of the estate of Marguerite G. Inman Davis, widow of Virginia governor Westmoreland Davis, and by his assistance to Mrs. Davis in settling her husband's estate. Material concerning Spivey's positions, 1915-1944, as business manager, editor, president and publisher of "The Southern Planter" is also present. Topics include the administration of Mrs. Davis' financial affairs in conjunction with the United States Trust Company represented by Henry G. Diefenbach; the Davis estate Morven Park, Leesburg, Loudoun County, Va.; Inman family properties in New York; and the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation. Also other financial interests of the Davises including the Loudoun Times Publishing Company, the Central Manhattan Improvement Company, the Federal Land Bank of Baltimore, the Florida Trading Corporation, and The Hotel Chelsea in New York. With these are a small group of political papers of Westmoreland Davis concerning the occupations of directors of Federal Reserve banks; a bill to establish a Bureau of Markets for Agricultural Products, 1916; the gubernatorial primary of 1917 in which Davis defeated J. Taylor Ellyson and John Garland Pollard; and a 1904 report by E.P. Cox concerning railroads chartered in Virginia. A portrait of Davis completes the collection.
