Baptism certificate, commencement invitation, recital program, birth certificate, 1896-1944

This subseries contains the papers of five generations of the Carpenter family and two of the Hogarty family as well as some additional branches. The materials are arranged alphabetically by person's name and alphabetically by folder title therein. Materials related to both a husband and wife are typically filed under the husband's name. If materials exist from a woman before she was married, those are filed under her birth name and those from her married life are filed under her married name. Materials related to a family in general come before specific family members' materials; unidentified materials are found at the end of the subseries. The most extensive materials here are those of Donald A. Carpenter and M. J. Hogarty. Among Donald's materials are documents given to him by others, namely Norris Hundley and William Kelly. Both men were doing their own water-related research and gave Donald photocopies or notes. The Kelly materials in particular are a rich source for Colorado irrigation history information. Donald's materials also contain documentation from several court cases and corporations he worked with or had interest in. M. J. Hogarty's materials are mostly financial records (including 18 years of cancelled checks) and military papers (post-Civil War service). Most of the files here are exactly as found, reflecting his own filing system. Material types include biographical and genealogical information, report cards, certificates, financial and real estate records, court documents, writings, obituaries, announcements and invitations, programs, military records, and more.
