Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Huning-Fergusson family papers primarily pertain to Clara Huning Fergusson (Box 1), Harvey Butler Fergusson (Box 2), and Franz Huning (Box 3). Correspondence, diaries, manuscripts, news clippings, legal documents, tax receipts, genealogical information, and memorabilia make up the bulk of this collection.
Clara Huning Fergusson's materials include 2 editions of her memoirs relating to her family and Albuquerque history; a small amount of personal correspondence; and varied items from her school years in Germany in the early 1880s and travels abroad in the 1920s. There are also 17 small diaries or yearbooks of Clara's, 1934-1950.
The Harvey B. Fergusson component includes correspondence, mostly copies of letters sent, from his private legal practice, 1905-1911, which dealt with numerous prominent New Mexicans, mining interests (particularly in White Oaks, New Mexico), and railroad companies. A small amount of other materials relate to his political activities, including tributes upon his death.
Franz Huning materials include land title and indenture records, 1812-1918 (bulk 1870-1891), pertaining to individuals and to the New Mexico Town Company. Other documents include his memoirs (published by Lina Fergusson Browne as Trader on the Santa Fe Trail), his will, some early personal correspondence, and information about his building of Castle Huning.
The collection also contains a small amount of material by Ernestine Huning, Erna Fergusson, and Lina Fergusson Browne, as well as Sampson-Fergusson family histories and documents relating particularly to Harvey's father Sampson Noland Fergusson and "Aunt Sampie," Sampson Virginia Fergusson. Several items relate to the Louis and Franz Huning families. There is a small amount of miscellaneous correspondence between Huning family members beginning with Franz' mother and extending to his grandchildren's generation.
Most of the material in this collection is written in English, however, there are some items written in German, and a few written in French. Photographs have been transferred to CSWR photoarchives.
