Box 1 • Geary Store, Nov 1900-Dec 1901. Accounts book listing individual merchandise for each customer. Indexed. Box 2 • Property title search book belonging to the Rowland family, related to a petition to the County by G.F. Geary and nine other property owners asking the County to abandon an unnamed roadway in Reliez Valley (Contra Costa County) in 1933. • Ledger book of an unnamed business, presumably the Geary Store, 1898-1900 (a set of initials on the opening page of the book reads “C.W.G.”). Box 3 • Ledger book from the Geary Store, 1901-02. Many of the ledger pages also were used for extensive note-taking and writing long after the book’s original use as a business ledger, judging from the more contemporary subjects mentioned in the writing and notes.
