320 Haythorn Cash Book Wilmot 1856-1860

This book is handwritten in fountain ink presumably by Mr John W Haythorn (buried in Wilmot Cemetery, center lane within the old tine trees) who was also the post master in 1859. There are some entries for a NEWSPAPER account at the end which lists names of residents. At the beginning, he drew lines between each transaction. What is striking are the high dollar amounts being entered in this book (where one dollar (1913 conversion) to 2014 is apx $25). It is difficult to understand just what is transpiring. One needs to assume he is only recording at the end of the day, the actual cash he has. How he arrived at that figure with sales, debits, credits is not very clear. The pages are un printed but have been hand numbered for clarity. Researchers should review each page for names that are occasionally entered in the ledger. The physical location of the store was the now demolished KRUCKMAN building where in 2014 is located the FOX RIVER SPIRITS. Over several years, Kruckman (as brothers), Sabin, Haythorn and Conrad had ownership of businesses at this location with Kruckman eventually running the store as his own.
