These are daybooks (1870, 1872-1879), journals (1872-1879), and ledgers of a general mer­chandise establishment owned by James Madison Kellogg and William W. Whaley.  The store was located on the courthouse square in Mount Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri.  See also WHMC-Rolla’s collection R315.

 

James Madison Kellogg (1810‑1884) and William W. Whaley were the apparent proprie­tors of Kellogg & Whaley.  The store was located on the courthouse square in Mount Vernon.

 

The earliest daybook (Volume 1) and the first two ledgers (Volumes 13‑14) are keyed to a journal volume filmed earlier as Volume 23 of collection R315.  Beginning on 18 November 1872, the daybooks are continuous through 31 December 1879.  The journals are complete from 15 June 1872 through 15 March 1879.  The ledgers provide convenient name indexes to the store’s pa­trons.

 

The volumes as a whole reflect a typical general merchandise business in a small county seat during the 1870s.
