a| The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence. Letters concern Spoon's interest in establishing an ice-making plant in Burlington, N.C.; his employment by the North Carolina Geological Survey; his term as supervisor of roads in Alamance County; his life in Texas where he taught school and worked on an invention for the cotton industry; his travels to Baltimore, Md.; the measles and influenza epidemics in North Carolina; corn prices in Texas; crop prospects; and a flood of the Arkansas River. Correspondence between Addie Spoon and her sister concerns family affairs and daily life. A notebook entitled "The Methodist Recorder" describes Methodist Christian Endeavor Rallies held in Cleveland, Ohio. Spoon's diary recounts the building of a house in Burlington, his travels to Virginia and North Dakota, his work on Alamance County roads, scenery in the Midwest, and rail travel. Collection also contains farmers' almanacs; a North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey; maps of Alamance County; promissory notes and other financial papers from the estate of Eli Moser of Orange County; deeds and indentures from Person, Guilford, and Orange Counties; and newspapers from the 1800s and early 1900s.
