About this book
1874 Hough Family Letters
Author: Hough Family
Year: 1874
These are the Hough Family Letters from 1874. The Hough family was prominent in early Lafayette, California. "Baby" Carrie would go on to become Carrie Van Meter, one of the first postmasters of Lafayette. The introduction to the letters is as follows: "A series of Hough family letters, almost all from 1874. Although the family home is in Lafayette, members are frequently at Hough Springs in Lake County, near Bartlett Springs. Sylvanus and his wife Orila(ap. ?) correspond frequently with their son Orlando and his wife Emmaline. The children Frank, George, Willian and baby Carrie are all mentioned. The trip to Hough Springs, a matter of several days, was by way of Martinez, Benicia, Putah Creek (divides Yolo and Solano Co.). Stops were sometimes made at Mountain House and at Mr. Epperson's."
