This collection contains family papers of the Huchtings, a pioneer San Marcos family, particularly WWII correspondence from Homer Huchting, and the business ventures of Carl Huchting in the 1930s and 1940s.

August Huchting (1848-1912) emigrated from Germany to Ventura, California in the 1870s. He married Maria de Gonzales, and in 1884 they moved to Meadowlark, California. August’s son Henry moved to the San Marcos area in 1901. Henry’s son Carl became a photographer, tour guide and composer, and another son, Homer, served in Europe in World War II.
