Plummer Family Papers, 1830 1861. Archive/Manuscript; 149 items.
NOTES: Correspondence, legal documents, financial documents, speech, catalog,
congressional document, and broadside. Letters are between several members of
the Plummer family and from business associates in Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas. The letters relate daily life in
frontier Texas and the South and also comment on contemporary political
events including prominent historical figures such as Sam Houston and General
Santa Anna. Letters from Joseph F. Smith, an attorney, 1855-1861, concern his
efforts to legally claim title to land under dispute at Copano, Texas, for the
Plummers. Also included are letters from William Henderson, 1842-1844, while a
student at Emory and Henry College (Virginia) to his parents, and letters from
D.C. Freeman, Jr., on business in Texas, to his wife in Kentucky, 1860.
The Plummers came to Texas in the 1830s. Joseph E. Plummer was a surveyor,
served in the Texas Army, and built the first residence at Copano in Refugio
County circa 1840. Samuel A. Plummer was a lawyer and business associate of
Mirabeau B. Lamar, and a captain in the Texas Army. Joseph E. Plummer, Jr. and
Francis W. Plummer also served in the Texas Army.

Schroeder, Fred and Katherine, papers,
1886 - 1958, Archive/Manuscript; 10 ft.
NOTES: Documents provide information about the Schroeders, focusing on Fred
Schroeder's various business interests: land leasing, development, and farming;
banking and other financial dealings; cottonseed oil production; and a hot
mineral wells health resort. The papers illuminate not only Fred Schroeder's
individual business affairs, but also those of his numerous partnerships with
various members of the Henry Hollmann, Sr., family, as well as with other
businessmen in the South Texas counties of Bee, Goliad, Karnes, Nueces, and
Refugio. Other materials concern personal matters of Fred, wife Katherine, and
daughter Hulda. Much of the personal, as well as some business, correspondence
is in German, for which annotations are provided. Because Fred Schroeder's
business and personal relationships were not always mutually exclusive and the
financial transactions were often complex, there is some overlap among the
series and subseries. German immigrant businessman in South Texas in the early
20th century was involved in a variety of ventures, chiefly land and financial
dealings.
