Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

Letter from Gus to Mollie Foltz
Subject

Christmas
Description
An account of the resource
This letter to Mary (Mollie) Foltz of Forestville VA was written on December 13, 1904 by “Gus,” a man who we know very little about. Records indicate that some of Mary’s family, including the Charlie Foltz mentioned in the letter, had moved to North Dakota during the beginning of the 20th century for new jobs and cheap land. It appears that Gus was among them. It was most likely mailed from the Bottineau ND post office.
In his letter, the author mentions his community’s Christmas celebration. This included entertainment, most likely a children’s play/musical, and the Ladies Aid bazaar and supper. The proceeds of the latter, and the funds they raised by selling a piano and Minneapolis Journal subscriptions would go to buy a pipe organ, something an emerging community in the northern plains would have been extremely proud of.
Gus also references holiday events in Forestville that Mollie would have been involved in. Apparently she helped organize the collection of evergreens to decorate her church (St. Mark’s Lutheran Church) and community, and the children’s Christmas program. The similarities between the two communities’ events are striking and highlight the connection between the two areas launched by Shenandoah County residents who moved west.
Unfortunately not all of Gus’ letter was joyful news. He also reports on the amount of “sickness” in his area. Apparently an epidemic of an unknown disease had struck the community and had infected him, though he was recovering. Illnesses like these were common in both North Dakota and Shenandoah County before the emergence of many modern health practices. They occurred on almost a regular basis, claimed lives and terrified residents until they passed.
