Vanderhoof Family Papers
The Vanderhoof Family papers document the activities of several generations of the Vanderhoof Family from Campton Township, Kane County, Illinois, including diaries, correspondence, and school papers. The documents include information on the family, weather events, day-to-day activities on the farm and in the household, and the families’ dealings with national events such as the Great Depression, World War I, and World War II.
The diaries in this collection were written by Aurelia Hawley (1898), Robert Alexander (1902), Frank Vanderhoof (1872-1904), and Kate Vanderhoof (1899-1962). Diaries for Kate Vanderhoof are complete from 1899 to 1955 and her 1905 diary includes entries by Frank Vanderhoof from January 16-February 2.
