	1	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.

	2	8888.0021.0000.00	documents	Tilghman Island Collection Biographical Backgr		Range, Cir 01/01/1906 - 12/31/1944		Tilghman Island Collection Biographical BackgroundThe Jackson Pharmacy and store was built between 1897-99 on the main street of Tilghman near Wharf Road. In 1902 the property was acquired by James W. Jackson who in turn transferred it to his parents in 1961. In 1925 it came under the ownership of George Franklin Jackson, brother of James. From 1906 until 1952 George F. Jackson served as the Island pharmacist. He also served as local Registrar of Births and Deaths. When he died in 1952 the business continued as a general store operated by Elsie and James Walter Jackson, until 1972 when it closed.Scope and ContentThe material is somewhat heterogeneous, but some of it is connected with the family business and gives an insight into life on Tilghman Island in the early 20th century. Particularly interesting is the account book of a pound-net fishing business (1921-23) and the guest register for "Riverdale" Hotel (1906-08). The former shows sales of fish, wages and other expenses.SubjectsCommercial fishing, hotel operation PapersFolder 1 Account book (1921-23) of fishing business started as a partnership of George F.
