Abstract | The collection of the white Kirkland and Hogan families of Chapel Hill, N.C., contains scattered correspondence chiefly from friends and family in the early twentieth century; photographs, chiefly daguerreotypes from the mid-nineteenth century; school materials including a 1917 Chapel Hill High School yearbook; church materials, many related to Sunday school; and printed items including newspaper clippings, turn-of-the-twentieth-century advertisements for bicycles, and buggies, and items related to farmers' cooperatives and agricultural demonstration work. Correspondents include Laura Kirkland Hogan (1857-1930), Oscar A. Hogan (1856-1924), Lillie Hogan (1881-1947), Mattie Hogan (1884-1966), and William (Willie) Samuel Hogan (1897-1954). Scattered documents pertain to Willie Hogan's 1918 selective service draft during the First World War, his civil service exam, and his 1939 appointment to postmaster. Also included is a 1929 pledge book for the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, a nativist, anti-Catholic, and anti-immigrant fraternal order. |

Since August 2017, we have added ethnic and racial identities for individuals and families represented in collections. To determine identity, we rely on self-identification; other information supplied to the repository by collection creators or sources; public records, press accounts, and secondary sources; and contextual information in the collection materials. Omissions of ethnic and racial identities in finding aids created or updated after August 2017 are an indication of insufficient information to make an educated guess or an individual's preference for identity information to be excluded from description. When we have misidentified, please let us know at wilsonlibrary@unc.edu.
