	3	8888.0096.0000.00	documents	Lumber Industry Documents:BackgroundThe mate				Lumber Industry Documents:BackgroundThe material in this collection was acquired by purchase from various sources. It consists of two receipts, a time-keeper's book, a book listing lumber sales and shipments, a ledger of 304 pages, and a sheet found in the time-keepers book listing expenses for trips.Scope and ContentThe two receipts are dated 28 September and 30 November 1829 and refer to the receipt on board the sloops Eagle and True Guide of stated quantities of corded oak wood. In both cases the oak wood is for Justes Lowery, apparently of Hall's Landing. The only information about the vessels and Lowery is that contained in the receipts themselves. The location of Hall's Landing is not known.The book listing lumber sales and shipments by K. C. Rice of Craddockville, VA, dates from August 1916 to April 1918, and describes the transactions in detail. Craddockville is located at the head of Craddock Creek, about four miles west northwest of Belle Haven, VA. Most of the lumber, which largely consisted of 35- to 75-foot pilings or "sticks", was shipped by rail, although some was rafted. There are frequent references to Pennsylvania Railroad "car" numbers. Shipments were mostly from such Eastern Shore of Virginia points as Birds Nest Station, Nassawadox Station, Eastville Station, and Machipongo Station. Destinations included Newark and Harrison, NJ, Boston, MA, Buffalo, NY, and Mahanoy City, PA. Some of the "sticks" were sold under contract to the U. S. Government.The time-keeper's book covers the period from April 1910 through October 1910 and November 1912. It lists K. C. and John W. Rice, as well as a number of other employees. It gives the number of days worked per month. Each month is divided into two parts. Although the printed format contains a column for pay "rate per day", no rates are entered, nor is there an entry in the column for total amounts paid. The name K. C. Rice has been entered on the flyleaf at the back of the book.The ledger, which apparently is from the L. J. Houston & Co. of Stockton, MD, covers the period from January 1902 through December 1907. Stockton lies about eleven miles south of Snow Hill, MD, and about three miles north of the Virginia border. The ledger reflects monetary entries for a number of individuals and organizations whose names are shown in an alphabetical index at the front of the volume. In addition, sections of the ledger at pp. 193-209 and 302-304 list weekly rental income for 1909-1910 and1904-1906 respectively.One BoxFolder 1- Two receipts: (1) dated 28 Sept 1829 for eighteen and one half cords of oak wood received on board the sloop True Guide at Hall's Landing by W.

	4	8888.0075.0000.00	documents	Harold B. Kennerly, Jr. Collection:The bulk of		Range, Cir 01/01/1930 - 12/31/1979		Harold B. Kennerly, Jr. Collection:The bulk of the Kennerly collection is comprised of correspondence concerning efforts to fight a proposed tariff on imported tuna in the early 1950s. Chiefly, they concern the H. B. Kennerly & Son packing company and House of Representatives Bill 5693, which sought to put a 3 cent per pound tax on imported tuna. Kennerly, as head of the Tuna Canners Association, corresponded heavily with members of Congress in 1951 and 1952 against the bill. Following this he opposed restrictions on imported groundfish fillets, and worked for scientific study of the tuna fish. Additional materials in the collection include newspaper and magazine articles about Bill 5693 and H. B. Kennerly & Son, and documents from both H. B. Kennerly & Son and its predecessor, Roaring Point Oyster Company. The collection also includes two miscellaneous items from local Nanticoke history: an article about a steamboat line, and a daybook from a construction company. Biographical BackgroundMr. Harold B. Kennerly, Jr. (born 1914/1915) was an important figure in Maryland's Eastern Shore seafood industry from the 1930s to the 1970s. He was the third generation of Kennerlys to operate oyster houses on the Chesapeake. His father, Harold, Sr., operated the Roaring Point Oyster Company, a seasonal oyster shucking business out of Nanticoke, Maryland. When the son joined the firm circa 1938 the name changed to Harold B. Kennerly & Son. During World War II they canned tomatoes in the summer and fish products starting in the fall that including herring, whitefish, and oysters. In 1945 they became the first tuna canners on the Eastern Shore, first canning albacore tuna caught in the Atlantic, then importing Pacific tuna from Peru, Japan, and elsewhere as production (and demand) increased. By the early 1950s, the company canned tuna, herring, vegetables, blackberries, strawberries, and froze clam chowder, sea clams, clam strips, oysters, oyster stews, and fish sticks. Around 1951 Harold, Jr. joined several other canners in founding the Tuna Canners Association (members in MA, MD, and ME) to fight passage of House of Representatives Bill 5693, legislation that sought to levy a three-cent tax on every pound of "imported" tuna fish. The tariff would have benefited Southern California packing houses that canned tuna caught by American vessels fishing in waters off the coasts of Central and South America. East Coast packers purchased tuna from the same region, though they earned the "import" designation by using local fishermen and transporting the catch to the United States in foreign-owned vessels. Through an intense lobbying effort between the Tuna Canners Association and various Senators, the bill was defeated when finally put to a vote in the U. S. Senate on June 24, 1952. Even after this victory, the correspondence indicates additional hearings, potential restrictions, and tariff negotiations continuing into the mid 1950s, beyond the dates of this collection. When not lobbying for the canning industry, Harold Kennerly, Jr. traveled the United States marketing oysters. The company shipped across the continental United States and Canada, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and Montreal. They canned under many different brands, including Maryland House and Seacrest, and canned for other companies including Campbell's Soup, A & P, Kroeger, and American Stores. Besides their own seed oyster beds in the Nanticoke River, they at various times bought oysters from Texas, Louisiana, Virginia, Oregon, and Washington State. They also had companies in Virginia and Delaware shucking for them. In 1956 H. B. Kennerly & Son was sold to Coldwater Seafood. Harold, Sr. passed away that year during the negotiation process. Following the sale Harold, Jr. bought an oyster house across Nanticoke Harbor and started Nanticoke Seafood Company, formerly the frozen division of H. B. Kennerly & Son. He finally retired from the oyster business around 1979.
