The collection consists of papers of James Daniel Frederick and the Frederick family from 1844-1899, 1942. The bulk of the
collection consists of diaries and account books of James D. Frederick. The diaries (1844-1856 and 1873-1899) contain entries
describing Frederick's student life at the University of Georgia, a few minutes and the constitution of the Washingtonian
Temperance Society of Franklin College, and entries pertaining to crop conditions, weather, and farming practices for Frederick's
farm in Marshallville, Macon County, Georgia. Entries for the period 1873-1889 are sparse and usually are recorded once a
year. The account books (1873, 1875-1878, 1880-1882, and 1888-1892) include occasional notes but mainly record items purchased
for operating the farm.
The collection also contains a diary (January - April 1882) of Eugene Frederick pertaining to the operation of his farm; a
typescript of THE KEENE FAMILY containing photographs, genealogical charts, and clippings; and the original mockup for THE
RUMPH-FREDERICK FAMILIES including correspondence, photographs, clippings, and genealogical charts. The genealogical material
was collected by Louise Frederick Hays.
