Scope and Contents
This series contains the following groupings of letters:
1. Wylie-Tomlinson Family Correspondence; 1834-1872, 1880-1893; Box 1, folder 20 through box 2, folder 39, 49-55.
2. Sarah Isabella Tomlinson to Eliza Wylie Tomlinson; 1876-1877; Box 2, folders 40-45, 50-55.
3. Alonzo Frescoln Smith to Sarah Isabella Tomlinson; 1877-1880; Box 2, folders 46-49.
The letters included in Series 5 consist primarily of correspondence between the core members of the Wylie-Tomlinson family,
including Will Tomlinson (1823-1863) and his wife Eliza Wylie Tomlinson (1815-1885), as well as letters from their daughter
Sarah Isabella Tomlinson (1853-1925) and their son William Byers Tomlinson (1847-1917.) Other family members, friends, and
colleagues contribute some correspondence as well.
Group 1. The correspondence between Will and Eliza occurs during the period from 1834 to 1864, the bulk of which spans the
earliest days of the Civil War. These letters are substantially about Will's enlistment and his participation in guerilla
warfare in West Virginia; they also substantially document his involvement in Ohio politics and journalism. Many of the letters
throughout the series comment on current events; both Will and Eliza make astute observations about politics and the events
of the Civil War.
The correspondence between Eliza, Will, and later, William Byers, is full of insight into the politics of both Ohio and the
larger national arena. Throughout the series, the inner workings and functions of the Cincinnati Gazette and the Ripley Bee
are repeated subjects as Will was a newspaperman by trade. Will's fervor for politics was carried on by his son, William Byers,
whose letters describe both current events and firsthand observation of Cincinnati politics.
William Byers, Sarah Isabella, and Eliza are the primary correspondents from 1864 to 1897, since Will died in 1863. Letters
between William Byers and Sarah Isabella make up the bulk of the letters from 1868 to 1872. Subjects include life in Cincinnati,
work at the Cincinnati Gazette, family affairs, and literature, as the siblings often write of what they are reading at the
time. Specific texts written about include Charles Dicken's The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Optic's Magazine. Sarah Isabella
engages in correspondence with her maternal great grandfather, John Byers from 1869 to 1870, and their letters show the close
relationship between family members who have never met, have a great difference in age, yet have similar religious values.
Regular family correspondence resumes after their marriage, and the letters are included in the Wylie-Tomlinson Family Correspondence
subgrouping. The primary correspondents are Alonzo, Sarah Isabella, Eliza, and William Byers. Subjects include Sarah Isabella's
life in Stone Mountain, Pennsylvania, and William Byer's 1884 political career. The last letters of the series include the
correspondence of Anna and W.S. Sherman.
Group 2. In the latter half of the series (1876-1880) Sarah Isabella remains a faithful correspondent to her mother, Eliza,
writing to her constantly throughout her travels and career as a schoolteacher in Western Pennsylvania. These letters voluminously
detail the educational practices and social and religious customs of this region. They also occasionally document fashion,
through Sarah Isabella's reports of purchases to Eliza, and recipes, sometimes included in the exchanges between mother and
daughter. These letters are collected in the Sarah Isabella to Eliza Wylie Tomlinson grouping.
Group 3. Sarah Isabella's future husband, a fellow schoolteacher named Alonzo Frescoln Smith, or "Fritz," also contributes
a great many letters in his courtship of Sarah Isabella from 1879 to 1880. His letters to Sarah Isabella are tender and almost
obsessive, and are occasionally written in a secret code. Their correspondence is collected in the Alonzo Frescoln Smith to
Sarah Isabella Tomlinson grouping.
