Abstract: This collection contains correspondence, reports,
maps, plans, photographs, realia, and ephemera relating to the life and career of
William L. Honnold (1866-1950), a pioneering American mining engineer in South
Africa, who later became a major benefactor to the Claremont Colleges, and his wife,
Caroline Burton (1868-1954). The collection documents in particular Honnold’s early
career in the coal fields of Minnesota and gold fields of California; his activities
in furthering the technique of deep mining in South Africa; his position as arguably
the first mining engineer in to fully combine the roles of engineer, business
entrepreneur, and top corporate executive; his long friendship with Herbert Hoover
and his contributions to World War I relief in Belgium and Northern France as a
member of the Commission for Relief in Belgium; his long friendship with Sir Ernest
Oppenheimer, and their founding of the Anglo American Corporation of South Africa;
his “retirement” to California in the 1920s, and his subsequent business ventures,
many with members of the Mudd family; and his philanthropic activities, the bulk of
which benefited the Claremont Colleges, as well as his alma maters, Knox College and
the Michigan Mining School (now Michigan Technological University). Photographs from
Honnold’s life in South Africa graphically portray Johannesburg’s elite at the
height of the Edwardian age. Extensive financial records from the 1920s onward,
including virtually complete accounts paid, document the contemporary cost of
living, such as food; workmen’s and servants’ wages; automobile maintenance; travel;
jewelry, artwork, and other luxury items; and taxes.

Collections, Honnold Mudd Library, Claremont University Consortium.
Acquisition Information
The Honnold papers were transferred to the custody of Special Collections at some
time between January 1981 and October 1987, but remained in Mabel Shaw Bridges
("Big Bridges") Auditorium until at least November 1987. They were physically
moved to the Honnold Library by the end of 1988. Certain photographs now among
the Honnold papers were acquired at an earlier date, possibly after Honnold's
death in 1950 or that of his wife in 1954.
Custodial History
William L. Honnold's papers appear to have been delivered to the Claremont
Colleges by the Honnold Foundation at some time in 1955. They were initially
stored in the basement of Mabel Shaw Bridges ("Big Bridges") Auditorium, where
in January 1981 they were found "in a rather open area ... apparently no one
realized the value of them, or what use was to be made of them"; they were at
that time moved and placed under lock and key [Charles E. Gross to Patrick
Barkey, memorandum, January 22, 1981].
Accruals
No additions to the collection are anticipated.
Processing Information
The Honnold papers appear to have been foldered, boxed, and summarily inventoried
by the end of 1988. Additional processing was done by Tsegaye Gotta, a Claremont
Graduate School student, from September 1988 until possibly as late as mid-1990.
Copies of the inventory Gotta compiled are annotated "revised 1992 / revised p.
21-24 5/29/96". The arrangement in this inventory of the materials prior to 1931
follows no apparent pattern, and the original order of the chronological files
from 1931 onwards was disturbed. 7 document cases of materials were separately
inventoried, and approximately 10 per cent of the papers remained unprocessed.
The papers were reprocessed, incorporating the separately inventoried and
unprocessed materials, re-arranging the inventoried materials prior to 1931, and
wherever possible restoring the original order of the chronological files, by
Michael P. Palmer, MLIS, in 2012. A concordance of current and former box and
folder numbers is available from Special Collections staff.
Biography
William Lincoln Honnold was born in Oconee, Illinois, on 16 April 1866, the son
of the Rev. Robert and Sarah (Ernest) Honnold. His mother died in 1870, his
father in 1876, and Honnold was raised by his stepmother, Mary E. (Norris)
Honnold (1843-1924) in Camp Point, Illinois. After preliminary study at Knox
College, Galesburg, Illinois, in 1886-87, and at the University of Michigan,
1887-88, and after several times interrupting his formal schooling to gain
practical experience, Honnold received an E.M. from Michigan College of Mines,
Houghton, in 1895.
In 1893-1895, while still an undergraduate, Honnold was employed by the Mahoning
Ore Company, in Hibbing, Minnesota. He married Caroline Burton, a resident of
Santa Ana, California, who was born in Chicago on 7 October 1868, in San
Francisco, on 12 November 1895. In 1896, he resigned from the Mahoning Ore
Company to become superintendent of the California Exploration Company, San
Andreas, California, prospecting various gold-bearing claims. From 1898 to 1899,
Honnold was manager of Thorpe Gold Mining Company, and from 1899 to 1902,
consulting engineer in America for the Consolidated Mines Selection Company
(London), in which capacity he traveled widely, examining and advising on both
metal and coal mines in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. In 1902, he went
to South Africa where he became involved in gold and diamond mining as
consulting engineer, again for the Consolidated Mines Selection Company. He
became managing director of the company in 1912, and chairman of the subsidiary
companies Brakpan Mines, Springs Mines, The New Era Consolidated, and the
Transvaal Coal Trust. He also served as vice president of the Chamber of Mines,
and a member of the Council of Education, in Johannesburg, South Africa. Through
his mining activities Honnold became acquainted with Herbert Hoover, and the two
became fast friends. He left South Africa in 1915, and was appointed London
director of the Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB), headed by Hoover. He
transferred to New York in August 1916, as director of the Commission in the
United States, a position he held until December 1918. For his wartime work for
Belgian relief he was made a commander of the Order of the Crown and received
the Médaille Commémorative du Comité Nationale. He later became director of the
Commission for Relief in Belgium Educational Foundation. In 1918-1919 Honnold
served as special representative in Europe of the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York
and associated banks, to facilitate the rehabilitation of Belgian finances. He
subsequently visited South Africa, and on returning spent some time in London
and New York in connection with the Anglo American Corporation of South Africa,
which he had founded with Mr. (later Sir) Ernest Oppenheimer in September 1917,
and of which he was, with Oppenheimer, one of the two permanent directors.
The Honnolds moved to California in 1922, and in 1924 were domiciled in Los
Angeles, where Honnold shared an office in the Pacific Mutual Building with
Seeley W. Mudd and the latter's sons, Harvey S. Mudd and Seeley G. Mudd. In
1926, the Honnolds established the Honnold Foundation, to support religious,
charitable, and educational services. Honnold took particular interest in the
Claremont Colleges. He was on the first Board of Fellows of Claremont College
(now Claremont Graduate University) named in 1925, and succeeded his friend and
colleague Seeley W. Mudd as president of the Board the following year. He and
his wife provided the funding for the Honnold Library, dedicated in 1952, that
serves as the central library for the colleges. Honnold was also an honorary
trustee of Pomona College, and a trustee of the California Institute of
Technology. Honnold maintained an interest in civic affairs, serving on the
Board of Commissioners of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California, and as chairman of their Engineering Committee, from Feburary 1930
to July 1933.
Honnold was made LL.D. by Knox College in 1927; D.Sc. by Claremont College in
1936, and D.Eng. by Michigan College of Mining and Technology in 1937. He died
at his home in Bel-Air on 6 May 1950, and is buried in Oak Park Cemetery,
Claremont; Caroline Burton Honnold died at home in Bel-Air on 18 July 1954, and
is buried with her husband.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The William L. Honnold papers contain correspondence, reports, maps, plans,
photographs, realia, and ephemera relating to the life and career of William L.
Honnold (1866-1950), one of the first mining engineers to successfully combine the
roles of engineer, business entrepreneur, and corporate executive, and a major donor
to the Claremont Colleges.
The collection falls naturally into three chronological periods: (1) the years prior
to 1915, encompassing Honnold’s early life and active mining career, from the 1890s
until his departure from South Africa; (2) the years 1915 to 1924, encompassing
Honnold’s service in World War I relief, his cooperation with Ernest Oppenheimer in
the founding of the Anglo American Corporation of South Africa in 1917, his business
activities, and his move to California in 1922; (3) the period from 1924, when
Honnold and his wife became domiciled in California, onward, encompassing Honnold’s
increasingly diversified business activities and his philanthropic activities, in
particular his support of the Claremont Colleges.
The records for the first period constitute Series 1: United States, and Series 2:
South Africa. They contain primarily mining reports and correspondence addressed to
the Consolidates Mines Selection Company of London, for whom Honnold worked as a
consulting engineer from 1899, first in the United States (the extant reports relate
to mines in Arizona, California, and the Yukon), and from 1902 in Johannesburg,
South Africa. The reports document Honnold’s technical abilities as a miner and his
skill as an administrator: in 1912, he became Managing Director of the company in
South Africa, and Chairman of the Board of the subsidiary companies under its direct
control. Much of the correspondence relates to Honnold’s dealings in the stock of
Consolidated Mines Selection Company, and reveals the business acumen that made him
so financially successful.
The records for the second period, 1915-1924, are fragmentary. Neil C. Cross,
Honnold’s Los Angeles secretary from 1924 onward, wrote on 30 August 1954 to John T.
Staker, husband of Honnold’s niece, “I recollect that about 1916 W.L. employed
Rollin B. Burton [Caroline Honnold’s nephew, who served as Honnold’s New York
secretary (“investment” or “fiscal agent” and “tax adviser”) from 1917 until 1937]
to keep his record and files and that after W.L. came out here the files were put in
storage in New York or New Jersey” [Box 60, Folder 8]. The surviving materials most
probably constitute those Honnold considered most memorable or most important from a
legal standpoint. They relate primarily to Honnold’s World War I relief work, his
mission in 1918-1919 on behalf of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York and other
financial institutions to help restart the Belgian economy, and the founding of the
Anglo American Corporation of South Africa in 1917. Records of the first two can be
found in Series 3: United States, in the subsection ”Civic and philanthropic
activities”. Records of the founding of the Anglo American Corporation of South
Africa constitute the earliest part of Series: 5: Anglo American Corporation of
South Africa. Those relating to the founding of the Anglo American Corporation of
South Africa were carefully selected, cataloged, and filed in a safe deposit box;
they omit many telegrams and letters known from other sources to have passed between
Honnold and Oppenheimer at this time.
The records for the third and last period, 1924 onward, relate to Honnold’s
“retirement” in California, his house in Bel-Air, the establishment of the Honnold
Trust in 1926, and his philanthropic endeavors in support of the Claremont Colleges,
the California Institute of Technology, and his almae matres, Knox College and the
Michigan College of Mining and Technology (now Michigan Technological University).
The materials comprise those records created by Honnold and Cross in Los Angeles,
together with those records created by Burton in New York and forwarded by him to
California. Cross arranged those for 1924 through 1930 by subject: these records now
constitute Series 3: United States, and the pre-1931 sections of Series 6: Honnold
Foundation and Series 8: Personal and family. In 1931, Cross changed to a
chronological system, with annual files on each subject. These materials now
constitute Series 4: Chronological files. Certain legal and tax records for
1931-1938 were removed from this series in the 1970s or 1980s by a prior processor
of the collection to a separate box and refoldered; as it proved impossible to
determine with absolute certainty to which year each of these files belonged, no
attempt was made to reincorporate these files into Series 4, and they were retained
where they were found; they can now be found in Series 3: United States, Subseries
3.4: Financial and legal. Access to the files is through a series of card files
compiled by Cross—a single alphabetical file for 1924-1930, and separate
alphabetical card files for each year from 1931 onwards—that give the title(s) of
the file(s)containing materials relating to a particular individual or subject. The
files are largely complete; for files known to be missing from the collection, see
“Items Removed from the Collection” in the administrative notes at the beginning of
this finding aid. The extant records offer considerable detail on Honnold’s various
business ventures (many with members of the Mudd family); his extensive
correspondence with colleagues and friends, including many from his earliest days in
Minnesota and South Africa; his interest in Republic politics (in particular, his
devotion to “the chief”, Herbert Hoover); his concern for education and support for
educational institutions; and his deep affection and concern for the welfare of his
wife Caroline. Extensive financial records from the 1920s onward, including
virtually complete accounts paid, document the contemporary cost of living,
including basic foodstuffs; workmen’s and servants’ wages; automobile repair;
jewelry, artwork, and other luxury items; and taxes.
For ease of reference, certain materials originally found in the above series have
been arranged in separate series. The records of the Anglo American Corporation of
South Africa (Series 5), although incomplete, offer important insight into the
circumstances immediately leading to the founding of the company, and its
development in the first critical years. Honnold’s correspondence with Julius S.
Wetzlar, whom he had known as a member of the Consolidated Mines Selection Company
Board of Directors since at least 1904 is especially illuminating. The records of
the Honnold Foundation and the Honnold Trust (Series 6, supplemented by financial
and legal records in Subseries 3.5 and Series 7: Ledgers and checks) document the
creation, funding, and operation of the institution through which Honnold funded his
gifts to the Claremont Colleges, the California Institute of Technology, Knox
College, and the Michigan College of Mining and Technology.
Series 8 contains personal and family records of William L. and Caroline Burton
Honnold. With few exceptions the materials cover the period prior to 1931; similar
materials for the period 1931 onwards are to be found in Series 4: Chronological
files. The records include the diary, sermons, and other writings of Honnold’s
father, the Rev. Robert Honnold. Family papers include correspondence with Paul M.
Folckemer, husband of Honnold's only full sister, Mary, and more extensive financial
records and correspondence of Caroline's elder sisters, Mary Burton Curtis and
Jessie A. (Burton) Shipman, whose financial affairs Honnold managed from at least
the early 1920s, as well as correspondence with the latter’s husband, Charles
Goodrich Shipman, MD, with whom Honnold had at least one joint business venture.
Honnold's personal papers include his diplomas and awards; a blueprint of the
couple's modest first house in Hibbing, Minnesota; life insurance policies from
Honnold's earliest years as a mining engineer until 1931; and passports for both
William and Caroline for the years the couple lived in South Africa through 1930.
Extensive files give a complete accounting of the costs, and (incomplete) plans for
the building of the Honnolds' Bel-Air residence. Additional materials document the
relationship between the Honnolds and their long-time principal servants, chauffeur
Joe Silvera, and housekeeper Josephine Sullivan. Other materials record Honnold's
continued interest, both family and business, in his home town of Camp Point,
Illinois. The papers include copies of many of Honnold’s writings, including most
notably a “diary” of a 1934 deep-sea fishing cruise with Herbert Hoover, as well as
Caroline's letters to Honnold during a six-month trip from South Africa to Camp
Point and Ely, Minnesota, in 1904.
Series 9: Photographs, documents all aspects of Honnold's life, including his father
and maternal relatives, his infancy and childhood in Illinois, his days as a student
and young miner in Minnesota, his marriage, his work in California, his life in
South Africa, his World War I relief service in Belgium and Northern France, and his
retirement, business activities, and community service and philanthropic work in the
United States. The series includes a number of photographs of Caroline Burton and
her family from the period prior to her marriage to Honnold in 1895. The photographs
from the Honnolds' life in South Africa portray the mining, government, and military
elite in Johannesburg in the final years of the Edwardian era. The photographs from
Honnold's service with the Commission for Relief in Belgium, as well as later
photographs (many signed) of Herbert and Lou Henry Hoover illustrate Honnold's
life-long friendship with and devotion to "the Chief".
Audio materials (Series 12) contains the audio recording of a January 1989 interview
with Honnold’s niece, Mrs. Irene (Folckemer) Staker, then 92 years old, who
reminisces about her uncle.
Series 13: Realia and ephemera, consists of non-documentary materials in the
collection. They include a leather briefcase inscribed to Honnold from his
colleagues at the Commission for Relief in Belgium, his masonic apron, and a
considerable number of medals commemorating World War I relief in Belgium and
Northern France, including the neck and lapel versions the Croix de Commandeur de
l'Ordre de la Couronne, awarded Honnold by Albert I. of Belgium, as well as
political medals documenting both William and Caroline Honnold's participation as
alternate delegates at Republican National Conventions from 1928 to 1940. The series
also includes three pieces of Caroline Honnold's jewelry, and a number of silver
grooming and dining items.

Separated Materials note
Certain files concerning "Camp Point matters" (relating to William's relatives, as
distinct from Caroline's), the Claremont Colleges, Herbert Hoover, and the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (of whose Board of Directors
Honnold was a member from 1930 to 1933), listed in the card indexes to both Series
3: United States and Series 4: Chronological files, cannot be found. A large number
of photographs of Herbert and Lou Henry Hoover, which had earlier come to Special
Collections, most probably from the estates of William L. and Caroline Honnold, were
transferred on 21 August 1980 by David Kuhner to the Sprague Library, at that time
the principal science library for the Claremont Colleges, and incorporated into a
"Hoover Collection" of documents to accompany the Hoover Collection of printed
books. It is possible that Kuhner, the Librarian at Sprague, who had access to the
Honnold papers in "Big Bridges" Auditorium, may have removed additional, textual
materials relating to Hoover to the Hoover Collection in Sprague. Sprague Library
has since closed, and those materials from its collections that have been positively
traced to William L. and Caroline Honnold have been returned to the Honnold papers.
However, other materials, including those for the 1932 election, could not be
identified, and are considered missing. In addition, materials relating to Honnold's
service with the Metropolitan Water District now form a separate collection within
the Water Resources Collection; they have not been returned to the Honnold papers.
Since removal of materials from the Honnold papers to other library collections can
be proved, it is probable that the documents relating to the Claremont Colleges were
also removed from the collection at some earlier date, and these may well be among
the materials in the Vertical Files in Special Collections.

Series 2.
South Africa,
1902-1915.
Physical Description:
7 linear feet.
Scope and Contents note
This series contains materials relating to William L. Honnold's career in
South Africa, first as Consulting Engineer, and from 1912, as Johannesburg
Managing Director of Consolidated Mines Selection Company and chairman of
all the Transvaal companies under the company's immediate control: Brakpan
Mines, Springs Mines, the New Era Consolidated, and the Transvaal Coal
Trust. The records of the company itself include minutes of the Board of
Directors from September 1912, when Honnold joined the Board, until his
departure in May 1915. Honnold's reports to the chairman and directors
consist almost entirely of weekly reports on operations at each of the
company's mines. There are separate files on Brakpan Mines, the company's
most important holding at the time, and Honnold's special interest. The
correspondence from the London Secretary (Charles W. Moore) relates almost
exclusively to Honnold's investments in the stock of the company and its
subsidiaries. Additional files contain "confidential" and "private"
correspondence with Moore, not only relating to Honnold's investments but
also, inter alia, to more personal matters, such as the building of
Honnold's house in Johannesburg, the purchase of furniture in Europe and its
transportation to South Africa, Caroline Honnold's travels, and her personal
effects. Other files contain extensive confidential and private
correspondence with other members of the Consolidated Mines Selection
Company Board, including Walter McDermott, from 1912 until his death in 1940
Chairman of the company; and London Managing Directors Berthold Kitzinger
(1871-1922), nephew of Anton Dunkelsbühler, and Julius (Jules) Sigismund
Wetzlar (1866-1938). (Both Moore and Wetzlar later joined the Anglo American
Corporation of South Africa, the former in 1918 as London Secretary, the
latter as a Board member and ultimately Deputy Chairman.) The letters from
Robert Goering, of Berlin, a German member of the Consolidated Mines
Selection Company Board, and a fellow engineer, are particularly candid, and
provide particular insight into the profession of mining engineer in the
early years of the 20th century. The correspondence with Mr. (from 1921 Sir)
Ernest Oppenheimer (1880-1957) documents the early relationship to the two
founders of the Anglo American Corporation of South Africa, while the
correspondence with Herbert Hoover documents the two men's early
collaboration; one of these collaborations, a proposed gold mining venture
at Dominion Creek, Yukon Territory, is further detailed in the
correspondence with A. Chester Beatty. Four bound letterbooks contain
additional correspondence for this period, with these and other
individuals.

Series 3.
United States,
1912-1938.
Bulk, 1924-1930
Physical Description:
17 linear feet.
Scope and Contents note
This series contains materials relating to William L. Honnold's career after
his return to the United States in 1917. The bulk of the materials date from
1922, when Honnold moved from New York City to Ocean Park, California,
through 1930, when Honnold's (California) secretary, Neil C. Cross
(1886-1964) instituted a new chronological filing system (Series 3:
Chronological files). The records prior to 1924, when Honnold engaged Cross
as his secretary, are incomplete, and consist primarily of (1) a few papers
relating to Honnold's service as director of the New York office of the
Commission for Relief in Belgium, (2) telegrams and correspondence relating
to Honnold's 1918-1919 mission to Europe on behalf of Guaranty Trust Company
and other United States financial institutions to help restart the Belgian
economy, and (3) records of a small number of mining and investment
ventures. The series contains some materials, in particular legal, and tax
documents in Subseries 3.5: Financial and legal, dating from 1931 through
1938. These files were originally maintained by Cross among the files for
the appropriate years in Series 4: Chronological files, but were removed,
probably in the 1980s by a prior processor of the collection, to a separate
box. As these files had been refoldered and the folder titles altered, it
was impossible to determine with absolute certainty to which year each of
these files belonged; consequently, no attempt was made to reincorporate
these files into Series 4, and they were retained where they were found. In
addition, files relating to the Anglo American Corporation of South Africa,
the Honnold Foundation, and personal or family matters were transferred to
Series 5, 6, and 8, respectively. The remaining materials have been arranged
by the current processor into five subseries: (1) Business and investments,
(2) Civil and philanthropic activities, (3) Correspondence, (4) Financial
and legal, and (5) Memberships. Files within each subseries are ordered
alphabetically. The most efficient method of access to the files is the card
index Cross compiled (Boxes 107 and 108), which indicates the title of the
file in which correspondence on a particular subject or with a particular
individual can be found.
Card indexes,
1924-1930.
Scope and Contents note
A single file of 3 x 5-inch cards, arranged alphabetically, indicating
the titles of folders in which correspondence to or from a certain
individual, or relating to a particular topic, for the years 1924-1930
are filed. An similar index, on 4 x 6-inch cards, for the time period
1926-1931 is fragmentary, and appears to represent an abandoned prior
attempt.

Subseries 3.1:
Business and investments,
1920-1934.
Physical Description:
135 folders + 2 ledgers + 5 volumes + 1 map.
Scope and Contents note
This subseries contains records of William L. Honnold’s business and
investment ventures from 1917 through 1930, with the exception of Anglo
American Corporation of South Africa, which forms a separate series
(Series 5); records of business and investment ventures from 1931
onwards are to be found in Series 4: Chronological files. A significant
number of Honnold’s most successful ventures—Calaveras Cement Company,
Centrifugal Cast Iron Pipe Company, the Kuhnert Syndicate (from 1929
Pacific Alkali Company), and Noranda Mines—owed their success not simply
to Honnold’s considerable business acumen, but also to his mining
expertise. However, Honnold also participated in the 1924 founding of
Hazeltine Corporation, which specialized in the manufacture of radio
equipment and electronic circuits. The profits from Centrifugal Cast
Iron Pipe Company, Noranda Mines, and Hazeltine Corporation formed the
initial capital of the Honnold Foundation. The Galdyne Corporation and
General and Mining Investments Corporation were two closely held
Canadian corporations Honnold created in preparation for the creation of
the Honnold Foundation. Honnold also invested in real estate in San
Francisco (the Montgomery and Sutter Building Company) and San Diego
(the San Diego Municipal Warehousing Corporation), as well as in banking
in Arizona (the Phoenix National Bank and Phoenix Savings and Trust
Bank). The Rio Blanco Ranch Company was formed by Honnold and a few
close fishing friends as the holding company for a lodge in Meeker,
Colorado, where they all vacationed in the summer (the Honnolds
continued to spend at least one month at the lodge until the late
1940s). Many of Honnold’s most successful ventures were carried out in
conjunction with various member of the Mudd family and Philip Wiseman,
with whom he shared an office at 1206 Pacific Mutual Building, in Los
Angeles. Less successful ventures included an automobile financing
business Honnold entered into with his former chauffeur and mechanic,
Gail Hutchinson (1892-1945), the Baja California Development Company,
and, most improbable of all for a man of Honnold’s business acumen, the
General Real Estate and Trust Company, a syndicate incorporated in
Switzerland in 1921, with the purpose of recovering the estates of the
Austrian Archduke Frederick seized by the Austrian republican government
after World War I.

Subseries 3.2:
Civic and philanthropic activities,
1914-1930.
Physical Description:
35 folders.
Scope and Contents note
This subseries contains records of William L. Honnold’s civic and
philanthropic activities for the period 1919 to 1930. These activities
can be broadly grouped into: (1) Belgian post-World War I development,
and (2) support for educational institutions. The former include a small
number of documents relating to the Commission for Relief in Belgium, of
which Honnold served as London and later New York director, and to the
C. R. B. Educational Foundation, which was incorporated in 1920, and
endowed with residual funds from the liquidation of the assets of the
Commission for Relief in Belgium. Its operations included the sponsoring
of Belgian-American exchange fellowships, the fostering of
Belgian-American cultural relations, and aid to child health and
nutrition programs in Belgium. The bulk of these records consists of
telegrams relating to the mission Honnold undertook in 1918-1919, on
behalf of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York and other United States
financial institutions, to facilitate the rehabilitation of Belgian
finances. The remaining records relate largely to Honnold’s support for
educational institutions. Once Honnold secured the assets he deemed
sufficient to meet the present and future needs of himself and his wife,
he determined to devote the bulk of his remaining assets to the support
of academic institutions, in particular his alma maters Knox College and
the Michigan College of Mining and Technology; California Institute of
Technology, where he served on the finance committee of the Board of
Trustees; and the Claremont Colleges, where he was an original member,
and second president, of the Board of Fellows of Claremont College, and
an honorary member of the Board of Trustees of Pomona College .
Honnold’s interest in supporting academic institutions led to the
establishment n 1926 of the Honnold Foundation (see Series 6), whose
records the documents in this subseries antedate and supplement. The
records for the individual institutions consist of correspondence,
committee minutes, and receipts for donations. The subseries also
contains records of subscriptions and donations to other institutions
and organizations; these also antedate and supplement similar records of
the Honnold Foundation in Series 6, and the “Donations” and
"Eleemosynary matters / requests for donations" files in Series 4:

Subseries 3.3:
Correspondence,
1914, 1918-1931.
Physical Description:
84 folders.
Scope and Contents note
This subseries contains correspondence files for William L. Honnold for
the period 1919-1930. Approximately half the correspondence relates to
fellow mining engineers in the United States, South Africa, and Great
Britain. Honnold maintained correspondence with several of these
individuals, including Samuel Evans, Fred Hellman, Charles W. Moore, and
Thomas Arthur Rickard, for decades. Seeley G. and Harvey S. Mudd, Lewis
Webster Wickes, and Philip Wiseman shared offices with Honnold and
partnered him in various business ventures over a period of many years.
Of those correspondents who were not intimately connected with mining, a
significant number, including Sir Charles Briggs, Sir Charles Crewe, Sir
Percy Fitzpatrick, T. W. M. Fuge, and Sir Harry Ross Skinner, were from
government and military circles in South Africa. Edgar Rickard (Thomas
Arthur Rickard’s cousin), with whom Honnold maintained a business
relationship for decades, was a friend and colleague from the Commission
for Relief in Belgium. The subseries contains considerable
correspondence with Caroline Honnold’s nephew, Rollin Beach Burton
(1881-1973), who from 1917 to 1937 served as Honnold’s secretary and
personal assistant (“fiscal agent and income tax adviser”) in New York;
this correspondence relates to all aspects of Honnold’s life, personal
as well as business. There are also substantial General Correspondence
files, for correspondence that neither Burton nor Neil Cross
(1886-1964), from 1924 Honnold’s secretary in Los Angeles, felt
warranted a separate folder. Access to the Burton and General
Correspondence folders is greatly assisted by the alphabetical card
index for 1924-1930. The “Christmas greetings and gratuities “ file,
continued in Series 4: Chronological files, contains the names and
addresses of those friends and colleagues to whom Honnold felt close
enough to send communications at Christmas.

Subseries 3.4:
Financial and legal,
1912-1938.
Physical Description:
136 folders.
Scope and Contents note
This subseries contains records of William L. Honnold’s legal and tax
affairs. The records cover primarily the period 1922-1930. However, some
legal and tax records extend to 1938: these files were originally among
the files now constituting Series 4: Chronological files, but were
removed to a separate box, probably by a previous processor of the
collection. Since it was impossible to determine with absolute certainty
to which year each of these files belonged, these files were not
reincorporated into Series 4, but were retained where they were found.
The accounting records are incomplete, and consist primarily of
financial audits for 1917-1919 and account statements for 1921-1925; the
absence of proper statements for the following years is to some extent
mitigated by the ledgers in Series 7. The accounts and bills paid
provide a detailed view of the cost of living for a couple of substance
in Los Angeles in the 1920s. The banking records document the Honnolds’
first settlement in California in 1922 (Ocean Park Bank), and their
banking with Pacific-Southwest Trust and Savings Bank through its
various mergers and name changes (1928, Los Angeles-First National Trust
and Savings Bank; 1929, Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles),
all the while retaining their banking connection with Guaranty Trust
Company of New York. The legal matters largely concern litigation with
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue before the United States Board of
Tax Appeals over two matters: (1) the taxability of Honnold’s
contributions to the Honnold Foundation, and (2) whether Honnold’s
income as Permanent Director of the Anglo American Corporation of South
Africa was taxed as community property or a capital asset. The
litigation regarding each matter extended over seven years; the final
rulings in both cases were against Honnold (Honnold v. Commissioner,
Docket No. 55211, United States Board of Tax Appeals, 30 B.T.A. 774;
1934 BTA LEXIS 1269, promulgated May 23, 1934; and Honnold v.
Commissioner, Docket No. 72090, United States Board of Tax Appeals, 36
B.T.A. 1190; 1937 BTA LEXIS 609, promulgated December 28, 1937).
Additional legal papers largely concern William L. and Caroline
Honnold’s wills from 1912 onwards; drafts of papers relating to the
Honnold Foundation of 1926, the Honnold Trust of 1936, and the William
L. Honnold Family Trust of 1938; and matters relating to Caroline's, and
to a lesser extent William L.'s, families. The stock broker files
contain records of investments Honnold made for his “personal” accounts;

Scope and Contents note
This subseries contains records of William L. Honnold’s membership in
various professional, business, political, cultural, and social
organizations for the time period 1924-1930. Although Honnold largely
retired from active mining when he settled in Southern California, he
remained active in the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical
Engineers and the Mining and Metallurgical Society of America until well
into the 1940s. Always an enthusiastic businessman, he also belonged to
both the California Development Association (later California Chamber of
Commerce), the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and the California
Taxpayers’ Association. A loyal friend and staunch supporter of “the
Chief”, Herbert Hoover, Honnold played an active role in Republican
party politics on both the national and local levels. Both Honnolds
maintained an active social life until well into the 1940s, belonging to
several of the leading clubs in Los Angeles, including the Bel-Air Bay
and Country Clubs, the Los Angeles Country Club, and the California
Club; the records of the last, where both Honnolds often dined, and even
appear to have lived for some time prior to the completion of their
house in Bel-Air, are particularly extensive. Keen outdoors people, the
Honnolds also belonged to the Sierra Club. The Honnolds also belonged to
a number of cultural organizations, including the English Speaking
Union, the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, and the
Southwest Museum. Later records of Honnold's membership in professional,
business, political, cultural, and social organizations can be found in
Series 4: Chronological files.

Chronological files,

Physical Description:

Scope and Contents note
In 1931, William L. Honnold's secretary, Neil C. Cross, instituted a
chronological filing system, which brought together all files created in a
single year, the files for each year ordered alphabetically by subject. The
system was maintained through both William and Caroline Honnold's lifetime,
until the records were transferred to the Claremont Colleges. The files for
each year typically include "Accounts paid"; files for bank and investment
brokerage accounts; principal business ventures, such as the Calaveras
Cement Company, Hazeltine Corporation, Hunt Brothers Packing Company,
Mayflower Associates, Pacific Alkali Company, and Pacific American
Fisheries; principal business associates, in particular members of the Mudd
family and Frank L. Taylor; Caroline's sister, Mrs. Jessie A. Shipman
(1861-1942), whose affairs Honnold handled, and her son-in-law, Dr. Egerton
Crispin (1877-1963); donations; academic institutions supported by Honnold,
in particular the Claremont Colleges, the California Institute of
Technology, and Knox College; the Republican party; the Rio Blanco Ranch,
the Honnolds' vacation home in Colorado; and the Rev. James Fifield's First
Congregational Church of Los Angeles. Among the most important files are
those eventually labeled "Honnold, William L. and Caroline", which first
appear in 1935. These contain notes and memoranda exchanged between Honnold
and Cross, on a wide range of personal, business, and financial matters, and
provide a guide to the matters that Honnold considered most important at any
given time. Of special help in identifying other potential sources for
researching Honnold, his colleagues, and friends are the "Christmas
greetings and gratuities" files, which give the names and addresses of
everyone to whom the Honnold's sent Christmas cards. The information in
these files is supplemented by a card file of names, addresses, and
telephone numbers compiled between approximately 1935 and 1939.
Correspondence with persons and corporations and on subjects that was, in
Cross's opinion, insufficient in amount or importance to merit a separate
folder is filed in "General Correspondence" folders, one for each letter of
the alphabet. In this regard, researchers should bear in mind that even
important business ventures or business colleagues may not be represented by
a separate folder every year: in years when correspondence concerning these
ventures or with these colleagues was light, it may be filed in the
appropriate General Correspondence folder. Two features of Cross's filing
system should also be noted. First, the "Biographical" files contain
biographical accounts not just of Honnold but of others; they also contain
copies of Honnold's writings. Second, materials relating to corporations
that take their names from individuals are usually filed by the last name of
the individual. The most efficient method of access to the files until the
early 1940s is the annual card index Cross compiled, which indicates the
title of the file in which correspondence for that year on a particular
subject or with a particular individual can be found. Although Cross
discontinued the index in the early 1940s, by this time Honnold had begun to
seriously curtail his activities, so its absence does not significantly
impede access to the later materials. The series is largely complete.
However, during the course of processing the collection it was determined
that certain legal and financial papers covering several years had been
removed, possibly by an earlier processor, to a separate box. Since it was
impossible to determine with absolute certainty to which year each of these
files belonged, these files were not reincorporated into the series, but
were retained where they were found, and made part of Subseries 3.4:
Financial and legal, where they constitute almost the entirety of the legal
and tax records dated after 1930. For other files listed in the annual card
indexes but no longer found in the series, see "Items Removed from the
Collection" in the general administrative notes to the collection.

Anglo American Corporation of South Africa,
1917-1954.
Physical Description:
9 linear feet.
Scope and Contents note
The Anglo American Corporation of South Africa was incorporated on 25
September 1917, with an original capital of £1 million. Its purpose was to
exploit the gold resources of the East Rand, and to secure the assets of the
Consolidated Mines Selection Company, of which William L. Honnold had been
managing director, and which because of its German connections had been
subject to a bitter press campaign. Co-founders of the enterprise were Mr.
(later Sir) Ernest Oppenheimer and Honnold. Honnold was instrumental in
securing American financing for the enterprise (primarily through Charles H.
Sabin of Guaranty Trust Company and the mining and engineering financier
William Boyce Thompson), and in recognition of his services he, together
with Oppenheimer, was made a permanent director, with rights of
participation to 2.5% (subsequently reduced to 1.5%) of the profits.
Honnold's position as permanent director did not require active
participation, and although he remained very interested in the affairs of
the corporation and often expressed an opinion and offered advice he did not
attend board meetings or otherwise participate in its administration. The
records in this series fall into four divisions: (1) chronological files,
(2) Board of Directors minutes, (3) correspondence with Julius S. Wetzlar,
director in London, and William Westrup and his successor Harold Ross Lewin,
assistant secretaries in Johannesburg, and (4) printed materials. The
chronological files for the early years document in particular the
circumstances immediately leading to the founding of the company, and its
development in the first critical years. They are not a complete record of
Honnold's involvement with the foundation and early administration of the
company, but comprise only those letters and telegrams he considered
important enough to retain in his safe deposit box. Although the minutes for
the Board of Directors meetings prior to 1922 are missing, and those for
later years are incomplete, they are an important source for information on
the management of the corporation, in particular for the period of the
world-wide economic depression of the 1930s, World War II, and the recovery
years immediately following. The correspondence with Westrup and Lewin in
Johannesburg primarily addresses financial and investment matters. On the
other hand, Honnold and Wetzlar, who in 1934 became Deputy-Chairman of Anglo
American, had known each other since the former's earliest years in South
Africa, and while their letters invariably address financial matters they
are couched in the language of friends, and contain much personal anecodatal
information beyond the scope of the usual letter between business
associates. The correspondence with Wetzlar diminishes considerably after
1934, the last year his letters form a separate file (later correspondence
from Wetzlar can be found in the general correspondence files). The
decreasing frequency of correspondence may be an indication of a change in
Wetzlar's duties or an indication of declining health (he died in 1938). The
series also contains considerable printed materials, in particular annual
reports, meeting minutes, and circulars, for Anglo American Corporation and
its subsidiaries, including Brakpan Mines, Consolidated Diamond Mines of
South-West Africa, Daggafontein Mines, New Era Consolidated, Rand Selection
Corporation, Springs Mines, and West Springs Mines, expanded by 1949 to
include 21 separate corporations. The files also include materials for a
number of Southern African corporations with no apparent connection to Anglo
American Corporation.

Honnold Foundation,

Physical Description:

Historical Note
The Honnold Foundation was created on 24 June 1926, to be "operated and
conducted exclusively for religious, charitable, and educational purposes".
Initial funding was derived from Honnold's "fortunate ventures" in
Centrifugal Pipe Company, Hazeltine Corporation, and Noranda Mines. The
Foundation is usually referred to in the Honnold papers as the "Trust" until
2 January 1936, when, as a consequence of litigation with the Internal
Revenue Service concerning its tax status, a separate Honnold Trust was
created, to which most of the investment functions of the Foundation appear
to have been transferred. A third trust, the William L. Honnold Family
Trust, was created on 22 December 1938, to provide for the inheritance of
William and Caroline's blood relatives.

Scope and Contents note
This series contains records of the Honnold Foundation, created in 1926, and
the Honnold Trust, created as its principal investment arm in 1936. The
materials comprise declarations of trust, amendments, designations of
successor trustees, statements of policy, minute books (for the Honnold
Trust only), legal correspondence, investment, accounting, and financial
records. The records are largely complete for the period through 1930; the
bulk of the records for the period from 1931 onwards can be found in Series
4: Chronological files, in particular the files marked "Honnold Foundation"
or "Honnold Trust". Many auditors' reports, balance sheets, and inventories
and financial summaries, can also be found in Series 4: Chronological files,
in the files marked "William L. Honnold" and "Caroline Honnold". These
records are particularly important, as they give detailed accounts of assets
held, acquired, or disposed, as well as itemized receipts and expenses, of
all five of the entities to which Honnold assigned his assets: (1) the
Honnold Foundation, (2) the Honnold Trust, (3) the William L. Honnold Family
Trust, (4) William L. Honnold, and (5) Caroline Honnold. The records in this
series indicate that, at least initially, there was an attempt to file
records of the investments for the Foundation separately from those for
Honnold himself. However, the Series 4: Chronological files for the period
from 1931 onwards generally file all investment records together, by bank or
brokerage house, although each entity had its own account, which is
indicated on each document. Similarly, records of donations by the
Foundation are kept separate from donations by Honnold himself for the
period through 1930; in the Series 4: Chronological files for 1931 onwards,
donations are filed either in a general "Donations" file or, for donations
to academic institutions such as the Claremont Colleges, the California
Institute of Technology, Knox College, and the Minnesota College of Mining
and Technology, in the file for the appropriate institution. Income and
property tax statements for both the Foundation and the Trust from 1931
onwards can be found in the Series 4: Chronological files, in the folders
marked "Income tax" and "County and city tax". For litigation regarding the
Foundation's tax status, see Series 3: United States, Subseries 3.4:
Financial and legal, under both "Legal" and "Taxes".

Ledgers and checks
1923-1954.
Physical Description:
5 linear feet.
Scope and Contents note
This series comprises ledgers and cancelled checks for four of the five
financial entities created by William L. Honnold: (1) William L. Honnold,
(2) Caroline Honnold, (3) the Honnold Foundation (created 1926), (4) the
Honnold Trust (created 1936) (no ledgers survive for the 5th entity, the
William L. Honnold Family Trust, created in 1938 to provide the inheritance
of his family other than his wife Caroline). The series also contains the
ledgers for the De Melange account Honnold set up in 1925, through which he
lent money to Rollin B. Burton, Caroline's nephew and his New York
secretary, to invest for the latter's future security. The ledgers provide a
detailed record of the assets of each entity, the dates and the amounts for
which they were acquired and disposed, and the sources, dates, and amounts
of all income and expenses. These provide backup and detail for the audited
monthly and annual accounts filed in Series 4: Chronological files, and
Series 6: Honnold Foundation. The checks originally accompanied the monthly
bank statements now filed in Series 4: Chronological files, but were removed
and filed separately in boxes by Honnold's secretary, Neil C. Cross. The
checks have been transferred to archival boxes, but otherwise have not been
arranged, ordered, or checked against either the check registers or the bank
statements.

Note
Genealogies of the Honnold and Burton families, compiled by Michael P.
Palmer, are available in Special Collections.
Scope and Contents note
This series contains personal and family records of William L. and Caroline
Burton Honnold. With few exceptions (Diplomas and awards; Honnold, William
L., Writings; Oak Park Cemetery, Claremont; and Safe deposit box A1012) the
materials cover the period prior to 1931; similar materials for the period
1931 onwards are to be found in Series 4: Chronological files. The earliest
records relate to the Rev. Robert Honnold, and include his diary, letters to
his second wife, Mary Norris, sermons and other writings, and his 1862
appointment as as orderly sergeant in the Illinois Volunteers, as well as a
letter to his widow from the physician who treated him for cancer, with a
tintype of him after treatment, documenting in graphic detail the primitive
nature of medical treatment for cancer in the mid-19th century. The Asbury
Life Insurance Company file relates to the liquidation of an insurance
company that held a policy on the Rev. Honnold's life that it had apparently
failed to honor at the time of his death. Family papers include
correspondence with Paul M. Folckemer, husband of Honnold's only full
sister, Mary, and more extensive financial records and correspondence of
Caroline's elder sisters, Mary Burton Curtis and Jessie A. (Burton) Shipman,
whose financial affairs Honnold managed from at least the early 1920s. The
series also includes correspondence with Charles Goodrich Shipman, MD,
Jessie's husband, with whom Honnold had invested in a project to develop
residential properties in Santa Monica, California. Honnold's personal
papers include his diplomas and awards; a blueprint of the couple's modest
first house in Hibbing, Minnesota; life insurance policies from Honnold's
earliest years as a mining engineer until 1931; and passports for both
William and Caroline for the years the couple lived in South Africa through
1930. The Bekins Van and Storage file reveals the cost of shipping the
couple's furniture from South Africa and of storing it until their Bel Air
house was completed in 1925, a period of almost ten years. Extensive files
give a complete accounting of the costs, and plans (unfortunately
incomplete) for the building of the Honnolds' Bel-Air residence. The
Automobile and chauffeur files, with receipts for petroleum purchases,
servicing, and repairs, give a rare view into the real costs of owning an
automobile in Los Angeles in the 1920s. These, in conjunction with the
Travel and tours file, also provide insight into the nature of long distance
automobile travel (inter alia, to the Honnolds' summer retreat in Meeker,
Colorado) in the same time period. Additional materials in the series
document the relationship between the Honnolds and their long-time principal
servants, chauffeur Joe Silvera, and housekeeper Josephine Sullivan: Silvera
served with the Honnolds from at least 1925 through Caroline Honnold's death
in 1954, and Sullivan (1876-1949), who had served with the Honnolds in South
Africa, was brought over to the United States by them in 1923/1924, serving
until her death in 1949. Other materials record Honnold's continued
interest, both family and business, in his home town of Camp Point,
Illinois, as well as both his and Caroline's plans for their final resting
place in Oak Park Cemetery, Claremont. Caroline's letters to Honnold during
a six-month trip from South Africa to Camp Point and Ely, Minnesota--with
stops in London and New York outbound, and Paris and London on the
return--reveals her affection for her husband. Lastly, the series contains
copies of most of Honnold's writings, including his 1908 paper,
The Negro in America, delivered before the
Fotrnightly Club in Johannesburg, South Africa, and several versions of a
paper on South Africa first delivered before the Sunset Club in Los Angeles
in January 1935, and periodically revised thereafter. Honnold's "Diary of a
deep-sea fishing cruise on the yacht
Samona
II
, October 25th (Wednesday) to November 8th, 1933", with
Herbert Hoover, with photographs, can be found in Series 3: Chronological
files for 1933, in Box 26, Folder 33. Additional copies of both these works
are to be found in the "Biographical sketches" folders among the
chronological files for various years.

Photographs,
circa 1860-1954.
Physical Description:
5 linear feet.
Arrangement note
The series is arranged as follows: (1) people, (2) localities, and (3)
events. Because the number of unidentified photographs in the first group is
substantial, it was thought best to organize these by locality and, where
appropriate, photographic studio, on the theory that people will tend to
patronize photographers in their vicinity, and that family and friends will
tend to patronize the same photographers. Hence, if it possible to identify
the subject of one photograph it may be possible--using in the case of the
Honnold papers the lists of addresses in the "Christmas greetings
gratuities" files" (Series 3: United States, Correspondence, Box 11, Folder
7, and Series 4: Chronological Files, from 1936 onwards)--to identify the
subjects of other photographs taken in the same locality or by the same
photographer.
Scope and Contents note
The Photographs Series documents all aspects of William L. Honnold's life,
including his father and maternal relatives, his infancy and childhood in
Illinois, his days as a student and young miner in Minnesota, his marriage,
his work in California, his life in South Africa, his World War I relief
service in Belgium and Northern France, and his retirement, business
activities, and community service and philanthropic work in the United
States. A significant number of the earlier photographs were donated to the
collection in the 1980s by Honnold's niece, Irene Folckemer Staker, daughter
of his only full sister, Mary. The series includes a number of photographs
of Caroline Burton and her family from the period prior to her marriage to
Honnold in 1895. The photographs from the Honnolds' life in South Africa
portray the mining, government, and military elite in Johannesburg in the
final years of the Edwardian era, before the upheavals of World War I. The
photographs from Honnold's service with the Commission for Relief in
Belgium, as well as later photographs (many signed) of Herbert and Lou Henry
Hoover illustrate Honnold's life-long friendship with and devotion to "the
Chief". The bulk of the later photographs, from the Honnolds' "retirement"
to Southern California in 1922, relate to the Honnolds' house in Bel-Air;
their travels (including the Europe-Asia segment of the 1929 world cruise of
the S.S.
Franconia) and annual summer
vacations in Meeker, Colorado; their friends, including in particular the
Mudd family; his service with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California; and their support for the Claremont Colleges.

Physical Description:
2 boxes + 3 photograph albums + 179 folders, envelopes, and
items.
Burton family,
circa
1890-1947.
Physical Description:
5 folders and envelopes.
Scope and Contents note
The majority of these photographs are of Caroline Burton Honnold
prior to her marriage in 1895. Additional photographs from the
Honnolds' residence in South Africa, 1902-1915, may be found in
Boxes 117, 121, and 119 (envelopes 23-24), and among the photographs
referenced under "Photographs--People--William L. Honnold". William
Giddings Curtis (circa 1850-1900), also known as "the Colonel", was
General Manager of the Southern Pacific Company, and was the husband
of Caroline's second eldest sister, Mary Elizabeth Burton (see
Series 8: Personal, sub "Mary Burton Curtis"). Rollin Beach Burton
(1881-1973) was the son of Caroline's second elder brother, Alfred
Francis Burton; from 1917 to 1937, he was William L. Honnold's
"fiscal agent and income tax adviser" (secretary) in New York. For
at least five years prior to her marriage, Caroline lived in Santa
Ana, California. Her reasons for settling there are unclear. One
photograph of her as a prophetess in the oratorio "Esther", together
with (elsewhere in the collection) two photographs of Stella Prebla
(later Nau), as well as of several other unidentified female
singers, suggests that Caroline had a special interest in singing,
and came to Santa Ana to study with Nau. There appears to be no
biological connection between Caroline and Burton Hollis Rowley
(1893-1979), whose father, Andrew R. Rowley (1857-1918), was born in
Ohio, and whose mother, Mary Skinner Rowley (1863-1942), was born in
Illinois. It is probable that he was named "Burton" to honor her,
and that her status as "aunt" was purely honorary.

Scope and Contents note
Photographs of William L. Honnold's colleagues and friends living
in the United States at the time the photographs were taken. The
photographs are arranged as follows: (1) individuals identified,
and (2) by locality and studio. The subjects are almost equally
divided between Honnold's mining and business colleagues and
personal friends. The photograph of Honnold and Herbert Hoover
working together as members of the Commission for Relief in
Belgium, as well as the significant number of autographed
photographs of Hoover and his wife, Lou Henry, document their
close friendship with the Honnolds. Additional photographs of
Hoover and Honnold on a deep-sea fishing cruise on the yacht
Samona II, in 1933, can be
found in Box 26, Folder 23. The photographs taken in San
Francisco and Stockton may be of unidentified members of
Caroline Burton's family (possibly her nephew, Roland Beach
Burton, who served as Honnold's secretary in New York from 1917
to 1937), and the photographs taken in Anaheim, California, may
represent a friendship from Caroline's stay in Santa Ana prior
to her marriage in 1895.
