The collection consists of letters, photographs, biographical information, writings, friendship album (Mary McWhorter), account
book (James Hamilton McWhorter, Jr.), and information on family reunions and the family cemetery in Oglethorpe County. Most
of the letters were written by the McWhorter brothers to their parents and sisters during the Civil War. Their company moved
through many Virginia locations, such as Chancellorsville, Orange Court House, Spotsylvania Court House, Madison Run Station,
and Petersburg, where Robert McWhorter was killed in battle on June 20, 1864. There are also several pre-war letters from
James McWhorter while he was a student at the University of Georgia. A set of typescripts is included for many of the letters
dated 1859-1865. The later correspondence deals mainly with genealogy research done by McWhorter Milner, son of Mary McWhorter
Milner. In addition to photographs of the family and the family cemetery, there are three of Grady Memorial Hospital staff
in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. W. Hal Moncrief, a friend of McWhorter Milner, was a doctor at the hospital and is in one of the
photographs.
