Scope and content
The series consists primarily of personal documents and collected materials of Ralph Bishop. There are also some insurance papers and a medical bill that belonged to his father Thomas. The materials include Ralph's military papers, his birth certificate, medical expenses (including some for his wife Elaine), automobile records, collected items on local history, Bishop family printed materials, a 1955 Alcoholics Anonymous book, and assorted publications and clippings. There are numerous insurance policies, receipts, and related correspondence, along with 130 unopened payment notices from 1953-1969. The unframed watercolour painting depicts the southern side of the machine shop.
