Historical/biog note:
Isaac Alden (1813-1892) was a farmer and miller, who resided in Coldwater, Michigan, for much of his life. He was the son of Pliny Alden (1787-1834) and Anna Upson Alden (1787-1862) of Camden (Oneida County), New York.
Review:
These papers consist chiefly of family letters containing news of routine matters of everyday life, such as health, weather, chores, finances, and news about family, friends and relatives. There is much discussion of sickness, deaths and births, and many references to God and religion throughout. Family economics is a frequent topic, presenting insights into how difficult it was to provide and how all family members had to contribute. Most of the letters were written by Anna Alden in Camden, New York, to her son, Isaac Alden, in Michigan.
