BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

Rogers L. Barstow resided in Boston, Massachusetts, with his family.  He was a stockbroker and a partner in the firm of Chase & Barstow (Sydney Chase was the other partner), one of the leading brokerage firms in Boston.  He probably traveled to Europe in 1880 and 1881.

 

Barstow was the son of Rogers Lewis Barstow (1811-1860) and Abigail Hammond Willis (1811-1880).  He had several brothers and sisters.  According to an obituary, he attended Harvard Medical School, but an illness made it impossible for him to continue in medicine and he switched to banking and stock brokerage instead.  In 1872, Barstow married Sarah Caroline Baker.  They had three children: Alice (1873-1940), Rogers (1875-1961; married Rebecca Taylor Newbold, and they had four daughters), and Ezra (1876-1931).  Sarah died in 1879 and was buried at Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain, Mass. (other family members also buried here).  Barstow’s sister Eliza lived with his family, to care for children and house.  Barstow lived both in Mattapoisett, Plymouth County, and in Boston.  He died on June 19, 1921.

 

 

SCOPE AND CONTENT

 

The collection consists of over 400 receipted bills for the purchase of household and personal items by R. L. Barstow and other Barstow family members between 1876 and 1889.  The firms represented were located primarily in Boston and vicinity, although some items were purchased in London, England, in 1880 and in Paris, France, in 1881.  The majority of the bills are printed, and most of those have illustrated billheads that depict a wide range of products as well as buildings.  The categories of purchased goods and services include the building trades, ceramics and glass wares, metal working trades, horse and carriage trades, ships and sails, trunks, carting, woodworking trades, artists, musical instruments, gardening, clothing trade, dry-goods, printers and engravers, toys, cigars and spirits, druggists, groceries, current accounts with J.H. Upham & Co. (a grocer), hotels (indicating a sojourn in North Conway, New Hampshire), booksellers, scientific apparatus, and miscellaneous items. 

 

The bill for the funeral expenses of Sarah Caroline Baker (Mrs. Rogers L.) Barstow is part of this collection as well.  A bill for a dinner set lists all the pieces which composed the set: dinner and breakfast plates, tea and soup plates, soup and sauce tureens, comports, covered dishes, casseroles, cake plates, tea and coffee cups, etc.  Unfortunately, the same bill did not list what composed the three bath sets which were purchased at the same time.  A bill from Haviland & Co. describes the china being sold (which was monogrammed R.L.B.) as well as listing all the pieces of the set (dinner and soup plates, individual butters, oval dishes, etc.).  Bills from grocers list every item purchased.
