George F. Minor operated a blacksmith shop in Collegeville, a farming hamlet three miles east of
Stockton, Calif., between 1880 and 1900. Much of Minor's work activity seems to have involved the repair of grain harvesting
machinery and buggies.
This account book (1894-1895) bears no reference to George Minor, but his authorship seems fairly certain, since three-fourths
of the customers listed herein are Collegeville area farmers. Collegeville customers included: William Brown; Fred T. Eaton;
Frederick Fetti; L.S. Foss; George S. Hall; J.W. Kerrick; A. Lawson; Timothy Minahen; Moses Prater; and, D.M. Walrod. Other
patrons of note included: Cyrus Moreing (Stockton) and Buck & Earl.
