Biographical Note
American chemist Eben Norton Horsford (July 27, 1818 - January 1, 1893), was the only son of missionary and politician Jerediah Horsford and his wife Maria Charity Horsford of Moscow, NY. In addition to Eben, Jerediah and Maria Charity produced four daughters: Maria Horsford Byam, Julia Horsford Norton, Eliza Horsford Tryon, and Laura Horsford.
Eben earned a civil engineering degree from RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) in 1838 and contributed to the Geographical Survey of New York under the supervision of geologist and RPI paleontologist James Hall. Between 1840 - 1844, Eben lectured at Delaware's Newark College, in addition to teaching mathematics and natural sciences at the Albany Female Academy, where he would meet sisters Mary L'Hommedieu Gardiner and Phoebe Dayton Gardiner as students. Between 1844 - 1847, Eben studied with chemist Justus Freiherr von Liebig in Giessen, Germany and returned to the U.S. to marry Mary L'Hommedieu Gardiner and serve as the Rumford Professor and Lecturer on the Application of Science to the Useful Arts at Harvard University, where he would steadily publish and teach until 1863.
Mary gave birth to four daughters: Mary Leila (Lilian) in 1848, Mary Katherine (Kate) in 1850, Gertrude Hubbard in 1852, and Mary Gardiner (Mamie) in 1855. Mary died a few months after the birth of Mamie. Eben wed Mary's sister Phoebe in 1857, and the couple produced one daughter, Cornelia Conway Felton, in 1860.
In 1858, Eben founded Rumford Chemical Works with George Francis Wilson, who successfully managed his chemical developments and inventions. Eben's most successful development was the modern formula for baking powder, but he also produced acid phosphate, anti-chlorine, yeast powder, and developed a process for condensing milk. During the American Civil War, Eben devised an "improved army ration" of dehydrated meat; in addition, Rumford generated methods of attaching armor plating to warships, manufacturing fire-proof safes, and water analyses for municipalities in the Boston area.
In 1873, Eben was selected as a member of the U.S. Scientific Commission for the Vienna Exposition. Eben also strongly supported education and professional options for women while becoming Wellesley College's Board of Visitors President in 1877 and honorary class member in 1886. It was also during this time that Eben began researching and publishing work about Viking settlements in America, namely the "lost city of Norumbega," which is believed to be present Weston, MA, in which he had a monument erected in 1889.
The Horsfords led an active social life centered on their Cambridge and Harvard communities. They acquainted with several members of the "Boston Brahmin," in addition to prominent figures of the Cambridge intelligentsia and literary community, including Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Henry Longfellow, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Helen Hunt Jackson to name a few.
Subseries 1: Correspondence
Scope and Contents
Record Group IV, Series A, Subseries 1, pertains to Eben Norton Horsford's personal and professional life in the form of communication with his family, friends, and vast business network. With efforts to separate social and professional content, Subseries 1 is organized by four different subsubseries that feature over 4,243 (10,542 pages) assorted forms of communication that detail distinctive professional projects and or subjects, but there remains a significant amount of overlap. Genres range from announcements, artwork and illustrations, calling / visiting cards, ephemera and printed material in the form of advertisements, clippings, and circulars, collected and original poetry, drafts and reproductions of conversations in the form of handwritten transcriptions and photocopies, financial and legal records, invitations, letters, photographic prints, postcards, research notation, and telegrams.
These materials are arranged alphabetically by the company name or surname of the individual in contact.
Record titles reflect this arrangement by taking the form: [Surname, First Name]: [Location].
In the case that a set of correspondence includes multiple authors or the surname of the individual are unidentified, record titles reflect administrative categories, first names, initials, or nicknames, with possible surnames and locations provided in brackets. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If a record is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These records are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same subseries.

Creator
Scope and Contents
Record Group IV, Series A, Subseries 1, subsubseries a: Academic and Family pertains to Eben Norton Horsford's personal and professional life in the form of communication records with his family, friends, and vast business network. While the isolation of subsubseries a: Academic and Family is an effort to separate specific social and commercial content from the rest of Series A, this subsubseries features a significant amount of overlap. Although this portion of Eben's correspondence houses personal communication with his immediate and extended family and or concern of private business, such as Cambridge and Shelter Island property management, these materials also illuminate Eben's childhood, education, and professional ascension in chemistry, food science, and local history.
Academic and Family features over 3,325 letters (8,383 pages) dominated by conversations with local and international academics, professionals across fields of industry, and the general public concerning Eben's public and scholastic circulation of his work with David Zeisberger's Indian Dictionary and the history of Viking settlements in America. Genres include announcements, artwork and illustrations, calling / visiting cards, drafts of unsent correspondence, financial and legal records, invitations, letters and reproductions of letters in the form of photocopies and transcriptions, photographic prints, postcards, printed ephemera in the form of advertisements, clippings, notices, and telegrams. Eben conversed with renown American and international activists, archaeologists, administrators, architects, astronomers, bibliographers, botanists, chemists, economists, editors, educators, historians, indexers, librarians, ministers, philosophers, physicists, poets, politicians, social reformers, social scientists, theologians, and writers. In addition, this unique set of correspondence demonstrates the Horsford family's active social life among their Cambridge and Harvard communities, several members of the "Boston Brahmin," and prominent figures of the New England literary intelligentsia.
These materials are arranged alphabetically by the company name or surname of the individual in contact.

James Curtis Booth (July 28, 1810 – March 21, 1888) was an American chemist who was the melter and refiner at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia for many years. Booth was born in Philadelphia, was educated at the Hartsville Seminary, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1829, and later studied at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York from 1831 to 1832. He visited Germany between 1833 and 1835, spending the year of 1833 in Professor Friedrich Wöhler's private laboratory in Hesse-Cassel, and then spending nine months in the laboratory of Professor Gustav Magnus in Berlin. He opened a chemistry laboratory in Pennsylvania in 1836 for teaching purposes, and when the demand for teaching and chemical analysis increased, he was assisted by Dr. Martin Hans Boyè until 1845. From 1848, Thomas H. Garrett was his associate, and in 1881 the firm became "Booth, Garrett and Blair." The James Curtis Booth Papers (1785-1944) are preserved at the Othmer Library of Chemical History, Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia, PA.

Amos Eaton (May 17, 1776 – 10 May 10, 1842) was an American botanist, geologist, and educator. Eaton is considered the founder of the modern scientific prospectus in education, which was a radical departure from the American liberal arts tradition of classics, religion, lecture, and recitation. In 1824, Eaton co-founded the Rensselaer School with Stephen van Rensselaer III. Eaton's botany teaching laboratory in the 1820s was the first of its kind in the country; his popular lectures and writings inspired numerous thinkers, in particular women, whom he encouraged to attend his public talks on experimental philosophy. The Amos Eaton Papers (1797-1846) are preserved at the New York State Library Manuscripts and Special Collections in Albany, NY.

Espy's theory was published by in 1840 as The Philosophy of Storms; he became meteorologist to the War (1842) and Navy (1848) departments and developed the use of the telegraph in assembling weather observation data by which he studied the progress of storms and laid the basis for scientific weather forecasting.

August Wilhelm von Hofmann (April 8, 1818 – May 5, 1892) was a German chemist. After studying under Justus von Liebig at the University of Giessen, Hofmann became the first director of the Royal College of Chemistry in London in 1845. In 1865, Hofmann returned to Germany to accept a position at the University of Berlin as a teacher and researcher; he also co-founded the German Chemical Society (Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft) in 1867. In both London and Berlin, Hofmann recreated the style of laboratory instruction established by Liebig at Giessen, fostering a school of chemistry focused on experimental organic chemistry and its industrial applications. Hofmann archival material is preserved at the Imperial College Archives in London, England.

Scope and Contents
Record Group IV, Series A, Subseries 1, subsubseries b, pertains to Eben Norton Horsford's professional life in the form of communication with Wellesley administrators, faculty, staff, and students, in addition to American academics and professionals from across the nation. Subsubseries b features documentation in the form of calling / visiting cards, drafts of unsent correspondence, handwritten flyers, invitations, letters and reproductions of letters in the form of photocopies and transcriptions, postcards, printed ephemera in the form of advertisements, clippings, notices, and statements for circulation among the general public, and telegrams.
Subsubseries b features over 109 letters (179 pages) from Wellesley founders Henry Fowle Durant and Pauline Adeline Fowle Durant. Records preserved in this subsubseries trace Horsford's work as the Wellesley board of visitors president in which he conversed with American activists, architects, astronomers, bibliographers, botanists, economists, editors, educators, historians, indexers, librarians, ministers, philosophers, physicists, social reformers, social scientists, theologians, and writers. In addition, this unique set of correspondence demonstrates Horsford's friendships and professional relationships with first wave feminists, pioneers of higher education for women, and women's suffrage supporters including, but not limited to, Ada Howard, Alice Elvira Freeman Palmer, Alice Upton Pearmain, Helen Barrett Montgomery, Katharine Lee Bates (author of the words to "America the Beautiful"), Katharine Coman, Leila S. McKee, Sarah Frances Whiting, Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge, and Susan Hallowell.
These materials are arranged alphabetically by the company name or surname of the individual in contact.
Record titles reflect this arrangement by taking the form: [Surname, First Name]: [Location].
In the case that a set of correspondence includes multiple authors or the surname of the individual are unidentified, record titles reflect administrative categories, first names, initials, or nicknames, with possible surnames and locations provided in brackets. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If a record is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These records are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same subseries.
Historical Note
Wellesley College is a private women's liberal-arts college in the town of Wellesley, west of Boston, MA, and member of the original Seven Sisters Colleges. Henry Fowle Durant and his wife Pauline Adeline Fowle Durant founded Wellesley in 1870. Massachusetts Governor William Claflin signed Wellesley's charter on March 17, 1870 as Wellesley Female Seminary; the Massachusetts legislature approved the institution's name change to Wellesley College on March 7, 1873, although it did not open its doors to students until September 8, 1875.
Like the Durants, Eben Norton Horsford was an advocate and supporter of educational opportunities for women. Horsford became the president of the Wellesley College board of visitors, and frequently donated funding for institutional maintenance and supplies. Wellesley dedicated Norumbega Hall in Horsford's honor in 1886, and was celebrated by the John Greenleaf Whittier poem of the same name.
Notable Wellesley graduates include astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (Class of 1884), author Harriet Stratemeyer Adams (Pseudonym Carolyn Keene, Class of 1914), the former first lady of China, Soong May-ling (Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Class of 1917), U.S. Secretaries of State Madeleine Korbel Albright (Class of 1959) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (Class of 1969), screenwriter Nora Ephron (Class of 1962), journalist Diane Sawyer (Class of 1967), author Alexandra Curry (Class of 1979), and astronaut Pamela Melroy (Class of 1983).
This historical note was written with the help of the finding aids of the Wellesley College Archives.

Historical Note
Eben Norton Horsford and George Francis Wilson formed Rumford Chemical Works in Seekonk, MA (later East Providence, RI) in 1858. Horsford took the namesake from his Rumford Professorship and Lectureship position at Harvard University, which was named after Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford (1753-1814), a British physicist, inventor, and social reformer. Rumford Chemical Works included a merger with George Francis Wilson & Company (originally called Wilson, Duggan, & Company), which was founded in 1854. Company production included the manufacture of all-purpose baking powder, other phosphates and special chemicals, patent medicines, and fertilizer. Horsford's development of baking powder was designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark in 2006.
Rumford Chemical Works was sold to Heyden Corporation in 1948 while the rights to baking powder were sold to a private owners under the name "Rumford Company." Essex Chemical Corporation purchased Rumford Chemical Works in 1956; while retaining headquarters in Rumford (East Providence), the company maintains offices around the world. The East Providence headquarters grounds were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
This historical note was written with the help of the finding aids of "Records pertaining to the Apparatus of the Rumford Professorship and Lectureship on the Application of Science to the Useful Arts" (1835-1836, 1851) at Harvard University, in addition to the Horsford Family Papers (1681-1954) at the Rensselaer Institution Archives and Special Collections.

The Mary Fiske Stoughton House is a National Historic Landmark house at 90 Brattle Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Henry Hobson Richardson designed the house in 1882 in what is now called the "Shingle Style," with a minimum of ornament and shingles stretching over the building's irregular volumes like a skin. The house drew immediate notice in the architectural community, and was a significant influence in the growth in popularity of the Shingle style in the late 19th century. Richardson's masterful use of space in its design also foreshadowed the work of major 20th century architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989.

Biographical Note
"Lilian," (Mary Leila Horsford Farlow, September 18, 1848 - August 16, 1927) was the eldest daughter of Mary L'Hommedieu Gardiner Horsford and Eben Norton Horsford. Lilian travelled often with her father, accompanying him to Europe in 1873 and 1880, and on a trip to the western United States in 1880 - 1881. Lilian was affiliated with both Radcliffe and Wellesley Colleges, and active in campaigning for educational opportunities for women. Lilian resided in the Horsford family home in Cambridge, MA, until her marriage to Dr. William Gilson Farlow on December 10, 1900.
William Gilson Farlow (December 17, 1844 - June 3, 1919) was an American botanist. Born in Boston, MA, and educated at Harvard (A.B. 1866; M.D. 1870), and after several years of European study, Farlow became an adjunct professor of botany in 1874 and professor of cryptogamic botany in 1879. Farlow corresponded with Caroline Bingham and Jacob Georg Agardh to collaborate in the identification and classification of species of algae previously unknown to science. In 1899, Farlow became the president of the American Society of Naturalists; in 1904, president of the National Academy of Sciences; in 1905, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; and in 1911, president of the Botanical Society of America. Farlow received honorary degrees from Harvard University, the University of Glasgow (LL.D 1901), and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Subseries 1: Correspondence
Creator
Scope and Contents
Record Group IV, Series D, Subseries 1, pertains to Lilian's personal and public life in the form of communication with her family, friends, and local professionals. Record types range from contact in the form of announcements, greeting cards, invitations, illustrations, letters, notation, original and collected poetry, photographs, postcards, and receipts; and printed ephemera in the form of advertisements, clippings, and pamphlets.
Series D, Subseries 1, is dominated by records that capture Lilian's personal life through conversations with her family and friends. Subjects range from current community events, genealogical and history inquiries, private family business and Shelter Island estate management, public and shared social experiences, to local and international travel. This subseries features twenty-six letters (129 pages) from Lilian's sister Kate, Mary Katherine Horsford, while Lilian visited both Gardiners Island and Shelter Island, and while Kate traveled throughout the American midwest and northeast.
These materials are arranged alphabetically by the company name or surname of the individual in contact.
Record titles reflect this arrangement by taking the form: [Surname, First Name]: [Location].
In the case that a set of correspondence includes multiple authors or the surname of the individual are unidentified, record titles reflect administrative categories, first names, initials, or nicknames, with possible surnames and locations provided in brackets. In the case that a record includes more than one date expression, the listing will begin with its earliest. If a record is physically undated, approximate ranges are provided. These records are noted "undated" and followed by a "circa" estimate determined by the range represented in the same subseries.

William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910) was an American philosopher and psychologist. Son of Henry James, Sr., and brother to diarist Alice James, and novelist Henry James, William was trained as a physician, and the first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States. Williams was one of the leading thinkers of the late 19th century and is often referred to as the "Father of American psychology." The William James Papers (1842-1910) are preserved at the Houghton Library, Harvard College Library, in Cambridge, MA.
