This
book, ”Single Entry Ledger”, which was used by Walter
Gregg Wallace in the 1920s, listed who was working on the
farm (where Francis Marion University now stands) and how
much they were paid. However,
researchers should not get their hopes up that here is a
trove of data. Walter Wallace
despised record keeping--consequently, only a few pages of
the book were used. Generally,
the extent of his record keeping amounted to weekly
entries on the backs of used envelopes, which were filed
on a piece of wire that hung on the end of the china
cabinet in the breakfast room. This
ledger was given to the hewn-timber cabins collection in
1995 by the estate of Amelia M. Wallace and is in the
Arundel Room, Rogers Library, Francis Marion University. (Photo 1999) |
