The William Bowers Bourn Family Papers were given to The Bancroft Library in January and November 1986 by Francis Bourn Hayne.

Background

William Bowers Bourn I, (1813-1874 ) a wealthy merchant born in Massachusetts, came to San Francisco in 1850 with his new bride Sarah Esther Bourn(1829-1919). Bourn founded the Empire Mine in Grass Valley, California,which was in financial straits at the time of his death at the family home in San Francisco on July 24, 1874. He was survived by his wife Sarah and their children Mary (Maye), William II, Sarah (Zaidee), Ida, and Maud. Another son, Frank, died at the age of 11 in 1872 from a fall off a wall at the family's home.

Under the guidance of William Bowers Bourn II(1857-1936) the family fortune grew enormously. WBBII and his mother revitalized the struggling Empire Mine and developed the family's vineyards in St. Helena (which were purchased by Christian Brothers in 1950). WBBII also founded and was president of the San Francisco Gas Company which developed into PG&E,and founded the Spring Valley Water Companywhich served all of San Francisco's water needs until the city purchased it in 1930 .

WBBII was also an important civic leader. He was president of the Pacific Union Club and the San Francisco Music Association for many years and contributed a great deal of money and time to the planning of the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1914 and 1915. During World War I, he was president of an organization called Friends of France. He also organized the American League of California with Professor Charles Mills Gayleyof the University of California whose objective was to assist the Allies in Europe both financially and with manpower. On July 30, 1920, L'Ordre National de la Legion d'Honneur was conferred on Bourn for his service to France during the war.

One of Bourn's lifelong friends was architect Willis Polk .The two began their association in 1894 when Polk designed an English townhouse at 2550 Webster Street in San Francisco for Bourn. After this venture the two continued to work together with impressive results:

Once becoming allied ... Bourn and Polk lost no time in complementing each other's creativity and originality. First, at Bourn's Empire Mine in Grass Valley, Polk was commissioned to build the Empire Cottage (1896), the owner's private residence. This was followed by the Mine Office Building (burnt down in the 1930's), the Ophir Cottage, for Bourn's cousin, Superintendent George Starr, and the Empire Club (c. 1905), a social club to be used by the Mine's management personnel. Surrounding the Empire Cottage was a twelve-acre park with pools and an artificial lake. And in 1907, the post-earthquake year, Bourn as president of the Pacific Union Club, was influential in having the club buy the ravaged shell of the James Flood mansion and commission Polk to rebuild what is today one of the monumental buildings on California Street. It is still occupied by the Pacific Union Club.

Ringler, Donald P. and Rossi, George. Filoli The Builder—the Architect—the Mansion—the Gardens. Private Printing. Hillsborough, Ca. 1978, pp. 8-9.

All of this work was a prelude to the building of Bourn's massive estate Filoli in San Mateo County during the years 1916 and 1917. The name of the estate is derived from the first two letters of each word from Bourn's motto, Fight, Love, Live. The estate was planned similar to the 11,000 acre Muckross estate outside Kilarney, Ireland, which Bourn purchased for his daughter Maud Bourn Vincent and son-in-law Arthur Rose Vincent as a wedding gift in 1910. In 1975, Filoli was deeded to the National Trust for Historic Preservation and opened to the public as a historic landmark.

In 1922, Bourn suffered a stroke at the Empire Cottage which confined him to a wheelchair for the remainder of his life. His daughter Maud died of pneumonia contracted while crossing the Atlantic on her way to New York on February 12, 1929. Early in 1936 Bourn's wife, Agnes Moody Bourn, died at Filoli after a long illness. On July 5 of that same year he died, leaving a large fortune to his surviving sisters Maye, Ida, and Maud.

One of these sisters, Maye Bourn Tucker(1855-1947), married into a family with a remarkable history. Her husband James Ellis Tucker(1845-1924 ) had many extraordinary adventures in his youth, as the following excerpt from his obituary in The Pacific Churchman (Carton 2, Folder 29) demonstrates:

A thrilling book of boy adventure could be written of his experiences before he was out of his teens. Born in Richmond, Va., October 25, 1845, a scholar at the English Rugby while his father, Nathan Beverly Tucker, was Consul-General at Liverpool, he also attended school at Vevey, Switzerland, when his father was Minster to Spain. At sixteen he entered the Confederate service in the Civil War and was commissioned by Mason and Slidell in Paris to bear dispatches to the Confederacy. In running the blockade the ship on which he had sailed was wrecked but he was saved by swimming and duly delivered the dispatches to President Jefferson Davis. A member of the Second Virginia Cavalry under General Stuart, he went through the war, was wounded more than once and witnessed the surrender at Appotomax. After the war he joined his father in Canada and attended the University of Toronto. All this for a youth hardly twenty would make in itself a record of his early days as enthralling as any California tales of our young mining life. But there was more. As a young soldier of fortune his ardent spirit led him to allay himself with that tragic Mexican Empire of Maxmilian and he was in charge of a guard of honor which escorted poor Empress Carlotta from the City of Mexico, he escaping from the country when Maxmilian was shot. All this happened before he came to Califronia in 1869, having corossed the Mexican border at Brownsville Texas. The first twenty-five years of his life were thus abundant in strenuous action in the tented field. Then came his more normal California occupations. Five years in the service of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, that having its own memorabilia including a shipwreck of the Costa Rica. He was also connected with mining interests in Lake County and for twelve years at the United States Custom House served as Chief Appraiser under Presidents Harrison and Cleveland.

Other prominent members of the Tucker family include James' brother Dr. Beverley D. Tucker and nephew Dr. Henry St. George Tucker, both bishops with the Episcopal Church. Other related family groups represented in the collection are: Augustus O. Bourn, cousin of William Bowers Bourn I and governor of Rhode Island from 1883-1885; the Hayne family, including the architect Francis Bourn Hayne ; the Ingalls family, including the aviatrix Laura Ingalls; and the Vincent family, including the artist Elizabeth Vincent. For further information about the Bourn family history, see the following chronology prepared by Francis Bourn Hayne.

Scope and Content

The overall arrangement of the collection is by family grouping, as it was arranged upon its arrival. The initial arrangement was broken into two series, correspondence and family papers, the latter including genealogies, financial and legal Papers, clippings, memorabilia, etc. There are a few subject files of letters in the second series in the following locations: Carton 2, Folders 14-22, containing letters and accounts from the Sarah E. Bourn Estate, 1947-1959 and letters concerning the renovation of this estate; and Carton 4, Folders 7-9, concerning property owned by Ida Bourn and Maud Bourn Hayne, 1901-1908. A third series of subject files was created to accomodate miscellaneous files on Filoli, the Empire Mine, Willis Polk, and other topics. Complete series descriptions follow.

The bulk of the collection chronicles the personal lives of Sarah E. Bourn and her daughters Maye, Zaidee, Ida, and Maud through their letters to one another, incoming letters from other relatives and friends, and their personal and financial papers. These letters and papers provide an in-depth view of one of early San Francisco's wealthiest and most socially prominent families, a family that survived both physically and financially the earthquake of 1906, World War I, and the Great Depression.

Although William Bowers Bourn II is one of the most prominent members of the family, he figures minorly in the overall collection. Of the 27 boxes of correspondence, only 1 ½ are devoted to him, a scant 26 folders. These are primarily letters to his mother and sisters, with a few financial letters. There are virtually no letters dealing with the Empire Mine, Spring Valley Water Company, or his dealings with Willis Polk. This is typical of the entire collection which tends to be mostly about the personal rather than business side of the family. The best sources of information about WBBII are the clipping files (Carton 3, Folders 27-29) and a biography prepared by Francis Bourn Hayne (Carton 3, Folder 32). WBBII's association with the Friends of France is well-documented in a scrapbook and in loose items removed from the scrapbook (Carton 3, Folder 37).

James Ellis Tucker, the other prominent figure in the collection, is on the other hand very well-documented. There are many letters written to his mother and father describing his experiences in the Civil War (Box 4, Folders 13-15), as well as several rare Confederate documents, including Tucker's orders, permission for sick leave, paroled prisoner's pass, and an announcement of the surrender at Appomattox (Carton 2, Folders 30-38). Tucker's later correspondence in Boxes 5 and 6 details his association with the Bourn family including his marriage to Maye Bourn. Boxes 7-9 consist of correspondence of other members of the Tucker family.

Also of note in the collection are Hannah Annie Ingalls' (sister of WBBI) letters to her husband Zebediah, 1865-1866 (Box 27), giving the most complete history of the family at this time; information on the aviatrix Laura Ingalls (not to be confused with the author Laura Ingalls Wilder) and and FBI investigation of her activities during World War II (Carton 4, Folders 29-31); A Sketch of the Descendants of Jared Bourn Who Settled in Boston About the Year 1630 by Augustus O. Bourn, 1875 (Carton 1, Folders 2-3), which traces the family to 17th century England; and the genealogical information for each section of the family (see folder listing) prepared by Francis Bourn Hayne.

Several maps and published materials have been removed respectively to the Maps Collection and for separate cataloging. For a list of these removed items, see Carton 4, Folders 52 and 53. All photographs have been transferred to the Pictorial Collection. The Environmental Design Documents collection has several drawings by Willis Polk, Bakewell and Brown, and other architects commissioned by the Bourn family. For an inventory of these drawings, see Box 25, Folder 9. For information on the Spring Valley Water Company, see the Bancroft Library's collection number C-G 189.
