Mortgages

The W. Paul Stillman papers contains books, correspondence, source documents, and photographs covering the period from 1800 until his death in 1989. This collection contains very little of Mr. Stillman?s personal correspondence. It has several obituaries and correspondence centering on the banking crisis of the early 1930s.

The collection also contains the papers of Mrs. Cleveland (no apparent connection to Mr. Stillman) which has an excellent accounting of prices and expenses for various goods and services during the early and mid 19th century. These materials include mortgages, promissory notes, and other legal documents naming Benjamin Cleveland, Julia Voorhees, and others.
