Beaufort merchant's account book, 1855-1934, (bulk 1855-1858) 
1 v. 

Request #: 34/493

Handwritten accounts, mathematical calculations, drafts of letters or practice
letters, pencil sketches, and lists of births and deaths. 

Accounts were probably kept by William H. Snediker, a Beaufort, South Carolina
carpenter, or by Paul Somes (or Sams). Accounts include the names of clients
such as Barnwell, Blythewood, and Fuller families, the Beaufort (S.C.) Bath
House, Joseph T. Bennett, the Episcopal Church [Beaufort?, S.C.], the "Combee"
(Combahee) [Episcopal] Church, Charles Morgan, Joseph T. Pope, H.H. Stewart,
Beaufort (S.C.) schools, and the Harmony Lodge [Beaufort?, S.C.]. 

The accounts contain charges for a wide variety of services including repairing
a [cotton] gin, shingling, painting, glazing windows, building houses, moving a
house and privy, increasing the width of the counter at the post office, making
coffins, and making a bookcase. Listed are the prices of materials (lumber,
nails, and other goods) and the names of workers, amount of time spent by each
worker, and wages they received. 

Mathematical calculations are scattered throughout the volume and are probably
From several time periods. Also contained in the volume are drafts of letters or
letters copied for writing practice (1864, 1866, 1867), awkward pencil drawings
which cover some of the accounts, and lists (1878-1934) of births and deaths for
the Johnson and Shepherd families. 

Authorship has been attributed to Paul Somes due to the presence of this name on
the front endpapers of the account book; however, the name of William H.
Snediker, a Beaufort (S.C.) carpenter, appears in each of the accounts. The name
Somes (or Sams) does not appear in the 1860 census; however, a Beaufort resident
named W.H. Snediker is listed in the census.
