• Henry N. Moreau Account Books
  
  Two ledgers documenting the grocery business of Henry N. Moreau of Swanton, Vermont, between the years 1902 and 1916. The bulk of the records fall between 1902 and 1909, as Moreau was closing out the business to join with his brother, Samuel F. Moreau, in an agricultural tool business. The entries in the ledgers relating to the grocery business appear to have been kept by Moreau's clerk, A. McNally, as both books bear his signature. On page 361, in the second volume (XMSC 147:2), beginning in 1921, the ledger documents Moreau's grain business, with daily entries of income and expense, interspersed with yearly inventories. The entries continue until 1943, when Moreau left the business due to health issues.
