Other family letters are from the Gilbert sons at Yale College (Class of 1878) who both suffered from diabetes. Many of the letters refer to the treatment for the disease. The papers of William H. Gilbert include journals and other record books (1847-1899), sermons, and notes from his studies at Yale Divinity School. Also included is the diary of Mary Goodridge Gilbert on her trip to San Francisco in 1878. The papers document the families formed by the marriages of two sisters, Mary and Fanny Goodridge, to William Hinman Gilbert and Henry A. Cheever, respectively. William H. Gilbert was a clergyman from Weston, Connecticut who, with his wife, taught in schools in Vermont and Massachusetts. Henry A. Cheever was a sea captain who settled in San Francisco ca. 1853 and brought his wife and children there from Massachusetts. The papers consist of correspondence, diaries, journals, record books, photographs, memorabilia, printed matter, and sermons relating to the lives of these two families and their children.
