The papers of the Schenck family of Fulton, New York, consist chiefly of personal letters between various family members from 1856 to 1873, detailing routine experiences of everyday life at the family homestead in Fulton as well as those who resettled in Michigan and Iowa. Social visits with friends and relatives, community events, and religious activities are often mentioned in the letters along with news about births, deaths, and matters of health and well being. These papers also include a number of letters written by family members and friends in regards to their experiences of military service during the Civil War.
