Description

In this letter of October 3 and 4, 1888, I. L. Kephart writes his son Horace Kephart covering topics of domestic life such as complementing Horace's wife Laura and their newborn Cornelia, updating Horace on his sister’s schooling, what has happened in their community recently and a small mention of what chores Horace’s mother is performing at that time of year. Among general updates of domestic life, Isaiah Kephart also writes out a genealogy of Horace’s mother’s paternal family that immigrated from Switzerland and Germany and discusses his honorable discharge from the Union Army after the American Civil War.
