Introduction The Tarbell Family Papers is a vast collection of materials covering several generations of three related families: the Tarbell and Doubleday families, farmers of North Sherburne (now Killington) and Wallingford, Vermont, and the Richards family of Clarendon, Vermont, who were orchardists and nurserymen from Williamsburg, Massachusetts. The families were involved in Vermont agriculture until the1970s, as their children began to pursue other vocations. The Doubledays had a winter home in Tangerine, Florida. The collection was donated to the Vermont Historical Society in 2011 (ms. acc. no. 2011.1544) by a descendant, Leslie Tarbell, daughter of Charles J. and Ruth Bea (Richards) Tarbell. The donor acquired the materials through inheritance and direct ownership. The collection is housed in 16 document storage boxes, one flip-top legal-sized document storage box, five flat boxes, and two oversized folders. They occupy approximately 21.5 linear feet of shelf space. Biography Doubleday and Tarbell Generation I William Orlando Doubleday (1821-1863), son of Chester Doubleday and Lucy Day Mosher, was born in Sharon, Vermont. He married Amy “Emma” Ascenath Hutchins (1825-1907) in 1846 in Manchester, N.H., and they had five sons. He was a farmer in Sherburne, Vermont (now Killington) at the time he enlisted in the Civil War. He served in Company H of the 14th Vermont Regiment and died on August 14, 1863 of dysentery while recovering from wounds incurred in Pickett's charge at the battle of Gettysburg. The Doubledays' Sherburne farm, known in the family as the “hill farm,” was located above that portion of “River Road” which today is Vermont Route 100. (The side road leading up to the farm is now called Doubleday Hill Road.) There the Doubledays raised their four sons, Charles, Otto Monroe, George, and Fred Byron Doubleday. Generation II Charles Edwin Doubleday was born in 1849 in Sharon, Vermont, and grew up on the Doubleday farm in Sherburne. In 1868, he married Cornelia Ann “Cora” Preston (1849-1905) who was born in Alabama and raised by her aunt and uncle, Almira (Preston) and Albert G. Bliss, in Strafford, Vermont. After their marriage, Charles and

Tarbell Family Papers 2


Cora Doubleday lived briefly in Springfield, Vermont, where Charles worked in a cabinet shop. They then moved to the family's farm in North Sherburne, where they raised their six children. After Cora Doubleday's death in 1905, Charles remarried to Luella A. Wallace (ca. 1853-1914); after Luella died, he remarried again to Ada Wallace in 1915. His fourth wife was Zelia (Metras) Seevers, whom he married sometime after 1930. Around 1925, Charles Doubleday visited Tangerine, Florida and, in 1928, he built a winter home there. Many Doubledays, Tarbells, and extended family members made the drive between Vermont and Tangerine over the years. Charles Doubleday died in March 1936. His children with Cora Preston Doubleday were Kate Cornelia, Mary “Mae” Melissa, Amy Agnes, Fred Hazen, Charles Preston, and Pearl Orlando. Edwin Paul Tarble/Tarbell was born, the son of Rufus Tarble and Polly Ann Wilder, in Wells, Vermont, in 1842. He married Julia Adelaide Prior in 1862 in Reading, Vermont. However, by the time he enlisted in the Civil War, he was living in Plymouth, Vermont. He served in the 2nd Battery of the Vermont Light Artillery in Louisiana, from 1864 to 1865. After returning from the war, he worked as a marble worker (stone cutter) in the firm of Barney and Tarbell in Ludlow, Vermont. He also collected an invalid's pension as a Civil War veteran in 1879. In 1883, Edwin Tarble “retired” to farming in Sherburne, Vermont, and was elected Deacon of the Sherburne Congregational Church in 1885. He was also collector of school tax in Sherburne. Edwin and Julia Tarble had three children, Lillian Frances, Harold Wheelock, and Cecil Laura Tarbell. When Edwin Tarble died of pneumonia in 1892, he and Julia were living on their farm in North Sherburne, at the junction of Shawhill Brook and the Ottauquechee River, a few miles from the Doubleday farm. In 1900, Julia Tarble married her widowed brother-in-law, Ryland Taylor. Ryland's first wife was Julia's sister, Laura S. Prior, who died in 1898. Generation III Kate Cornelia Doubleday was the third daughter of Charles and Cora Doubleday. She was born in Sherburne in 1881, and grew up on the Doubledays' farm with her five siblings, Mary (sometimes “Mae”), Amy, Fred, Charles, and Pearl. In 1900, Kate Doubleday married Harold Wheelock Tarbell, son of Edwin and Julia Tarble/Tarbell from the neighboring farm. In 1912, Harold and Kate Tarbell moved to Hull Avenue (possibly called the “Ketchum farm”) in Wallingford, Vermont. From 1918-1930, they lived on the “Munson farm,” a part of the Israel Munson estate in Wallingford, where Harold tended a dairy herd and engaged in “general” farming. Harold and Kate Tarbell had eight children: Mary Amy (died in infancy), Harriet (died in infancy), Harold and Preston (died together in a motorcycle crash as young men), Charles, Lillian, Cornelia, and Katherine “June” Tarbell. Harold Tarbell died in 1951 and Kate a little over a decade later in 1962, both residents of Wallingford. Mary (Doubleday) Gay (1876-1973), sister of Kate, was single for much of her life, until she became the third wife of Charles Dexter Gay (1855-1947) at the age of 55. Caretaker to her parents, she was also the “scribe” and main photographer of the family. She owned a camera in the early 1900s, made her own prints, and took stunningly beautiful images of her Vermont surroundings and her trips in-state and out. Around 1914, she lived for several years at her sister Amy Allen's home in Springfield,



Massachusetts, where she worked as a cashier in a grocery store. Amy's husband, Charles Allen, owned and ran Tawasi Lodge, an adult vacation camp in Sherburne, Vermont, and was later a representative to the Vermont legislature. Mary and Charles Gay were permanent residents of Florida, where Mary became a collector of shells and seaweed, from 1935 until at least 1940. Charles Gay died in 1947 in Wallingford; Mary Doubleday Gay also died in Wallingford in 1963. Generation IV Charles Joseph Tarbell, the youngest of Harold and Kate Tarbell's six children, was born in 1920 in Wallingford, Vermont. He graduated from Wallingford High School in 1938 and in 1941, married Ruth Beatrice Richards, daughter of George and Ruth Richards of Clarendon, Vermont (see Richards’ biographies below). Charles Tarbell was a dairy farmer on a farm located on Creek Road in Wallingford. He and Ruth had nine children: Charles Nicholas “Nicky”, James, Susan Amy, Dale, Edwin, Glenn, Kate, Julia, and Leslie Tarbell. Charles Joseph Tarbell died of leukemia in 1970 in Rutland, Vermont. Cornelia Ann Tarbell, Charles Joseph Tarbell's sister, was born in 1912. After stints at other area gift shops, she worked at, then ran, and later owned the Old Stone Shop, a well-known gift and antiques shop in Wallingford. Through the years, she had various business relationships with the American Fork and Hoe Company, later True Temper, which acquired Tubbs Snowshoe. She, like the rest of her family, had many compelling hobby interests, and especially enjoyed travel, both out west and around Vermont. She kept detailed notes on mileage, lodging, and expenses as well as bird lists along her route, and often included botanical specimens in family correspondence. She accumulated a sizable mineral collection that took up the entire basement of her home in Wallingford. Cornelia Ann Tarbell never married and died in Wallingford in 2007. She annotated much of the material in this collection. Richards Generation II Frank Charles Richards was born in 1855 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was born the year his father, George Henry Richards, died. He was raised by his mother Susan (née Davis) and stepfather, Prescott Williams (1819-1910), owner of an apple, peach and pear orchard located in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, and reputed to be the largest in New England. Prescott Williams was a descendant of Williamsburg's founder. Frank Richards worked as foreman of a fruit farm in Williamsburg and later lived and worked on the Williams fruit farm with his parents. He married Emma Lovina Tilton in Williamsburg in 1878. Frank and Emma Richards had nine children: Prescott Williams, Mattie Elizabeth (died young), Emma Lovina, Henry Tilton, George Frank, Florence Julia, Edward Ames, Ruby Elma (died in infancy), and Susan Davis Richards, all born in Williamsburg. Generation III



George Frank Richards was born in 1891 in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, to Frank Charles Richards and Emma Lovina Tilton. He married Ruth Mallett Shelton, the daughter of Miles and Mary (Beach) Shelton, on October 10, 1917 in Oxford, Connecticut. Ruth Shelton Richards was a school teacher in that town and George Richards worked as an orchardist and nurseryman in various capacities. After managing a fruit farm in Fishkill, New York, George Richards moved with his family to Clarendon, Vermont, in 1921. In Vermont, George first managed the Steward Apple Orchards and later operated the Vermont Gardens perennial plant and tree nursery in Wallingford. Among his customers were Chester Bowles (governor of Connecticut), Norman Rockwell, and Dorothy Canfield Fisher. Prior to moving to Vermont, George Richards was orchardist and beekeeper to Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury under President Franklin Roosevelt. In addition to his work as a horticulturist, George Richards was a writer and poet.

George and Ruth Richards had five children: Ruth Beatrice “Bea,” Mary Elizabeth, Miles Shelton, George Edward, and Tilton Beach Richards. According to the collection donor, these children were “farmed out” at various times during the depression. Ruth Bea, for example, spent a year in Washington, D.C., presumably to live with her aunt Susan Richards, an attorney there. George Richards died in Vermont in 1951 and Miles Richards carried on his father's nursery business from George's death until 1978. Ruth Mallet Richards remarried to James Semple in 1957. She died two months after her 100th birthday in August, 1996, an esteemed and engaged community-active resident of Cuttingsville, Vermont, till the end of her life. George and Ruth's daughter, Ruth “Bea” Beatrice Richards married Charles J. Tarbell.

George Richards' brother, Edward Ames Richards (1898-1964), was a college professor and poet. He served as mentor to George's literary aspirations. He also served as associate director of the Columbia University Extension in charge of Home Study, and, later, national director of the Junior Red Cross. George Richards' sister, Susan D. Richards (1886-1953), worked as an attorney in Washington, D.C. Processing notes The materials in this collection were professionally inventoried and placed into twelve plastic storage crates prior to their receipt by the library. These original inventory lists itemize each item or group of items in the collection, and may be found in Folder 0.1. Although no apparent attempt had been made to arrange the materials in a global fashion, the inventory lists were loosely organized by type of material and individual person, in each crate. It is apparent that before this inventory was made, family members, namely Cornelia Tarbell and perhaps Susan Amy Tarbell, went through and annotated and organized the papers minimally. This structure was retained wherever possible within the confines of creating an accessible collection. The photograph portion of the collection was received in major disarray, with prints (where there were any) separated from negatives, very little identification of



subjects or places, and generally all mixed up with just faint hints at authorship in many cases. A notable exception are the family portraits, and the photos of Mary Doubleday Gay, who made many photo albums of her handsome prints in which she included helpful captions. The processor attempted to re-configure and restore the photo collection to a practical and usable degree, but the organization is regrettably very loose and often the result of guesswork. Scope and Content This collection is arranged by type of material into seven series: I) genealogy, II) personal correspondence, III) diaries and scrapbooks, IV) personal papers, V) literary papers, VI) business and financial papers, and VII) photographs. Each series is further subdivided by family, generation, and individual.

This is a multi-generational collection documenting several generations the related Tarbell, Doubleday, and Richards families of North Sherburne (now Killington), Wallingford, and Clarendon, Vermont. The central thread connecting the contents is the family members' inter-relationships. Overall, the collection tells of a family whose fortunes were tied to agricultural pursuits over several generations. Its broad scope touches on a variety of occupations and personal interests, including family farm records, travel records of a 'snowbirding' family of average means, literary endeavors, photography, and small-scale retailing. Series I contains genealogical materials, including charts, trees, notes, clippings, a few bible pages, and several published genealogies, covering the Doubleday, Tarbell, and Richards families, as well as allied families: Scribner, Tilton, Shelton, Beach, Skilton, Williams, and others, mainly from Vermont but also from Massachusetts and Connecticut. Most of these materials are contemporary. Series II contains the families' vast personal correspondence, mostly intra-family, from 1856 to 2006, which is arranged where possible by author. Beginning in the 1920s, many letters were written between Tangerine, Florida, and the folks back home in Vermont. There is an interesting group of letters written by June Doubleday to her parents while in nursing school in the 1920s. Also included are some Civil War-related letters by William O. Doubleday and Edwin Paul Tarbell as well as letters from Edwin Tarbell's brother Lucius from “Dakota.” There is also a series of letters to Ryland Taylor from his brother in Kansas in the 1890s. There is an entire scrapbook of letters, received by Cornelia Tarbell between 1942 and 1945 from a serviceman, Clifford Keifer of Connecticut, while he was on duty in Europe during World War II. The many letters written by George Richards give a glimpse of a farmer's routine, as he rattles off his chores and errands, and often includes amusing poems he wrote for family members. Series III contains “books” – diaries, scrapbooks, autograph books, address books, account books, lists, travel diaries, medical records, notebooks, and memo books kept by family members between 1875 and 2005. Chief among these are Emma Tilton's diaries from 1875 onward, into which her descendants also made later entries. Cornelia Tarbell's diaries from 1959 to 2005 include a record of her personal life, her antiques/gift business



at the Old Stone Shop, and her travels. There are several early diaries spanning 1815-1896, by Sarah W. Strong (a Tilton relative), and George A. Miller and Lydia S. Townsend who are believed to be distant relatives. The latter chronicles her trip west to Nebraska and Kansas in 1891-1895. It will be useful for the researcher to pair the travel diaries in this series with the travel photographs found in Series VII of this collection. Series IV comprises personal papers of a biographical nature, which broaden the scope of, or in some cases serve in place of, diaries. They consist mostly of memorabilia, records, official documents, news clippings, and deeds, spanning the years 1847-2003. There are a number of school-related materials in this series, as well as some Civil War papers and health records. Series V contains the literary papers, mainly the output of George Frank Richards (1891-1951), plus some of the published works of poetry by his brother Edward, and writings of his granddaughter, Susan Amy Tarbell. George's works include prose and poetry, published and unpublished books, stories, articles, plays, and poems. Much of George's prose output was inspired by his horticultural business. His poems were often printed in local newspapers. This series also contains some poems of Laura S. (Prior) Taylor from 1873 to1886, and Franklin Prior's book, “Sentimental Rhyming and Homemade Poetry” from the 1800s. Series VI is a collection of business and financial papers, from both the Tarbell and Richards sides of the family. Of chief interest are the detailed dairy and general farming records covering farm expenses, living expenses, revenues, insurance, banking, labor records, loans, real estate, and related materials, of Harold W. Tarbell (1875-1951) and his son, Charles (1920-1970). Cornelia Tarbell's business papers include the True Temper Corp. and the Old Stone Shop, a history of Tubbs Snowshoes, and the Wallingford Inn's guest registers, 1928-1976. Another important segment of this series consists of George F. Richards' records documenting his Vermont Gardens nursery and landscaping business in Clarendon - correspondence with clients, financials, catalogs, and other documents, spanning the years 1937 to 1951. Series VII contains a subseries of photo albums, followed by one containing loose photographs. The photographs may provide a more continuous overview of the families' histories than other the series in the collection, which tend to be more spotty and narrowly-focused. The collection contains a large number of negatives for which prints are not available. The captioned photo albums, especially those created by Mary Doubleday Gay, might be the researcher's best introduction to the collection. Her captioned family photos will identify the 'cast of characters'; other of her photo albums will familiarize the researcher with the family's lifestyle, homesteads, interests, surroundings, and travels. This series contains portraits as well as candid family and friend shots, and documents their activities and travel, and the family farms of Sherburne (Killington) and Wallingford, Vermont, among others. There are many photos of non-Vermont locations taken in Florida and on trips along the east coast Vermont-Florida winter 'migration' route, Maine, and on trips out west including the St. Louis Exposition of 1904 and the national parks in the 1920s. There is a fine group of photos documenting the Richards' (and/or Williams') orchards in the first half of the 1900s. Many of the



collection's photos provide valuable documentation of period costume and period vehicles. Related collections Although the library collection contains two printed Tarbell genealogies and one Doubleday genealogy, there are no other related manuscript materials for the Edwin Paul Tarbell or William O. Doubleday lines in the collection. The museum collection includes four diorama carvings by Napoleon de Guise, acc. #1991.46.1-4, donated by Cornelia Tarbell, some of which are currently included in the Freedom and Unity exhibit at the VHS museum in Montpelier. The carvings are not related to the Tarbell family history.
