Abstract
Papers of a Morgantown resident who practiced medicine and operated a pension claim office in Mt. Morris, Greene County, Pennsylvania,
ca.1847-1859, and who later conducted his claim business in Morgantown while serving with the U.S. Internal Revenue Bureau
as collector for the second district of West Virginia. The collection contains letters, accounts, and business papers of Morgantown
residents, 1790-1855, including a private account book of Hugh McNeely, 1790-1800. The internal revenue returns and tax statements
give the occupations of many persons in northern West Virginia, ca.1861-1886. There are also photographs; genealogical compilations
on the Statler, Morgan, and Wendell Brown families; and typescripts of Monongalia County history.
