The Oblinger Family and their Letters

The letters from the Uriah W. Oblinger Collection reveal the life and struggles of Uriah, his two wives, Mattie Thomas and Laura Bacon, their children, relatives, and associates. Information about the letters, and the correspondents, is available in several forms: a narrative about the letters; biographical notes about the correspondents and people mentioned in the letters; and detailed genealogies for some people in the Oblinger family tree.
