The Holly Day Book
By Douglas H. Shepard, 2012
In The Fredonia Censor of 24 December 1879, Devillo White reminisced about James Holly, who had a “grocery and bake-shop” about at today’s 43 East Main Street, Fredonia, NY.
There is also a name index.
The Book
In April 1819, James E. Holly bought a blank notebook from James Hull, printer and stationer. According to an attached label, Hull had acquired it from the J. D. Bemis Bookstore in Canandaigua NY. Some technical detail is called for here. Originally, a set of 8 sheets, a “gathering,” was put together and folded in half. At the fold, special cord was threaded through, attaching it to a back strip. A second gathering was sewn next to the first and so on, until the desired number of leaves was reached. In this case, 80 leaves. The backstrip was then glued to the inside of the spine of a set of covers or boards. Once that was done, another sheet of paper was folded in half, and one half was pasted to the inside of the front board. The unpasted half was the fly leaf, which in a printed book would protect the title page. The same was done for the rear board. The result was a total of 166 writing surfaces: the inside of the front and rear boards, the two fly leaves, and the 160 blank pages of the gatherings.
When James Holly worked for someone or sold something, he recorded it in this book. He entered the person’s name and what s/he was being charged for. Very often he entered the unit price, such as for one day’s labor or one pound of butter, then the specific cost, such as for two hours work or ¼ pound of butter. At first he tended to use the traditional “Dr” (Debere = to owe) shorthand, but the majority of his entries used the “to” style of notation, shorthand for “charged to the account of.”
Describing the monetary system he used is a little more complicated. The basic unit in the U.S. by the early 19th century was the dollar. A silver coin first minted in the 16th century in St. Joachim’s Valley in the Czech Republic became a standard of reliable coinage known as the “Joachimsthaler,” shortened to “thaler” and, in English, “dollar.” After Spanish conquests in Latin America, their silver mines produced a coin equivalent to the thaler worth eight “reals.” These Spanish coins circulated widely in the U.S. and were often cut into eight smaller units called “bits.” These “pieces of eight” were the hard currency most often used in 19thcentury commerce. However, in bookkeeping, the costs were written out in comparable units, usually based on a U.S. version of the British system of pounds, shillings and pence.
James Holly, for example, noted that a Mr. Jamison had some repairs done to a bass drum, and Holly had also fixed a handle for him. That was on 26 June 1819, the charge 4/, that is, four shillings, which translated to 50¢. Holly entered that final amount in the dollar equivalent of the four shillings. His entry was “. . 50.” Although usually cents were given without any other markings, when the total included a dollar or more it would be written as the dollar number followed by a space or two, then the cents. Sometimes the dollar sign was included, but that was rare. On 9 July 1819 Holly noted that he had repaired a bedstead for Newton Capron at a cost of 4/ noted in dollar and cents terms as 50, meaning 50 cents. In other words, even though the coins that changed hands were probably pieces of eight, their equivalent cost was designated by Holly in terms of dollars and cents.
The standard practice at the time would have Holly making these daily entries, and then transferring each one to a ledger, with each customer having a separate page or pages for his account. At the end of a fixed period — a month, six months, or more — the ledger entry would be totaled and the individual requested to settle up. At the left hand margin of most of Holly’s entries in his Day Book are two vertical parallel lines. These may indicate that the entry had been successfully transferred to the customer’s account in the ledger.
At some point, Holly decided to number the pages in his Day Book. He wrote each page number at the upper outer corner of each page, beginning on the back of the first leaf after the fly leaf. Over time his inked entries turned a rusty brown color including these page numbers. Many years later, the Day Book apparently came into the possession of Miss Elizabeth Crocker. There is a piece of lined paper — containing a note in black ink — glued to the inside of the front board and identified as her note. Another marginal comment says “from Eliz. Crocker estate.” The note itself is a copy of James E. Holly’s obituary. It appears that Miss Crocker then renumbered the pages in what appears to be the same black ink as in her note. Perhaps intending to make some kind of index, she began her numbering with the first fly leaf. When she reached Holly’s numbered pages, she wrote over the numbers, obliterating many. Because some leaves had been torn out over the years, interrupting Holly’s number sequence, hers does not match the original series. Also, she somehow missed pages 117 and 118, further throwing the sequence off. Therefore, any reference to page numbers in this analysis is to the original Holly series, not to Crocker’s series.
The Contents
On the first fly leaf headed “Fredonia may the 1 1819” is the entry “James E Hollys Day Book bot [bought] of James Hull 4/.” The entries that follow show a mixture of sales of commodities with a preponderance of mechanical repairs and construction. In the first few entries, he charged for the use of a horse and wagon, for making a window frame, supplying three candles, dressing a saw, providing a ½ barrel of fish, and for putting in a fence.
From 5 May through 18 June 1819 he sold a chisel, made or installed a lock, made a coffin, painted two pails, and cut a window opening for Dr. Squire White. It is not until April 1820 that more entries of sales from his store begin to appear: ½ pint of whiskey, a loaf of bread, and three pounds of cheese on the 29th, 6 ounces of raisins on 19 May, a pound of tobacco on 2 June. Towards the end of the Day Book in June 1824 there are many more entries for pasturing other people’s animals and for renting out a horse or horse and wagon, than for the sale of goods.
The Transcript
The transcript that follows is an attempt to reproduce in legible form what exists originally as a document extremely difficult to read, so the user should treat the transcript with a high degree of skepticism. A scan of the Day Book has been made so that the original need not be handled further. That scanned version should be consulted whenever there is some doubt about the reading. James E. Holly was a terrible speller, but his handwriting was even worse. This transcript tries to replicate the placement of words and numbers as they appear in the original. However, it was often necessary to insert explanatory notes in square brackets, especially where the spelling is particularly idiosyncratic. Because it was his own private and temporary record, Holly often used abbreviations for frequent entries such as pt [pint] qt [quart], bot [bottle], etc. Oddly enough, he often misspelled a word differently in different entries. The only real consistency is that his spelling is always phonetic: rusil = Russell; bushl = bushel; ahors = a horse.
Follow-up
There are some very familiar names included, but also many not found in the assessment rolls of the period, other contemporary records, or Young’s History. Because Holly frequently dated his entries, some of them may be the earliest records of individuals’ dates of arrival in the community. There are some entries with lists of building materials being procured and/or transported. These might fill out an otherwise brief mention of some ambitious building project of the time. The same is true for the entry recording the making of a cradle or a coffin.
The entries may also tell us about the individual lives of Fredonia’s early settlers. For example, of all Holly’s customers, Zattu Cushing is by far and away the best customer for spices and other cooking items? Why was that? Also for example, on or soon after 12 June 1823, Holly noted that he was charging Daniel Buxton for “going twice to the Camp.” This suggests that local Methodist Camp Meetings continued even as the first Methodist Church building was being erected on East Main Street. The Chautauque Gazette of 11 March 1817 had reported on a July 1816 camp and the Rev. James B. Finley noted another held on 24-28 July 1817. Holly’s entry points at another, previously unknown, one.
It is hoped that genealogists and local historians will find further use for Holly’s early resource. The original is owned by a collector who generously loaned it for our use. The printed and digital scans and transcript reside at the Barker Museum in Fredonia.
