and John Boynton Kaiser. The collection consists of diaries of Peter Henry Kaiser, writings by various Kaiser family members,
correspondence, a class roll book, an account book, genealogical notes on the Kaiser, Boynton and Culver families, newspaper
clippings, a scrapbook, land records, and miscellaneous materials. The collection deals primarily with the personal lives
of Peter Henry Kaiser and his family. Included are some historical materials on Tuscarawas County and three letters Peter
