Description
Scope and content: Ledger book from an unidentified dry goods or general store in the Bellevue, Tenn. area, just southwest of Nashville, Tenn. Probably operated under the name T.L. Herrin Jr. or Herrin & Sweeny. Entries span from 1882 to 1898. A partial name index is at the front of the volume. Most entries record accounts with individuals; many entries are for women or African-Americans. Some accounts are with other businesses, such as Turner Bros. of Nashville. Accounts show debits and credits, including specific purchases. Items include shoes, hats, cloth, tobacco, meat, foodstuffs, hardware, tools, and similar purchases. Some of the surnames include members of the DeMoss, Carter, Harding, Herrin, Vaughn, Shelton families, among many others. A check drawn on the Fourth National Bank in Nashville, Tenn. signed by T.L. Herrin and payable to L.H. Hitchcock & Son from 1907 is inserted in the front of the volume. The last 100 pages of the book are blank.
