Scope and Contents
Caroline Stoddard Newcomer papers (1953-27-0), Correspondence, family data sheets, a photograph, and other items related to the genealogy of Caroline Stoddard Newcomer. Born in Litchfield, Conn., in 1852, she and her extended family moved to Tama County, Iowa, in 1854.

There are also documents related to the McCall family of Litchfield; Caroline's mother was Delia McCall Stoddard (1833-1897), daughter of Benjamin McCall (1806-1895) and Caroline Culver McCall (1801-1848). In addition, the papers include a letter written during the Civil War by Caroline's father Capt. Albert Stoddard (1828-1870) to her mother. The photograph is an image of the Newcomer homestead built in 1893 in Eldora, Iowa, the residence of Caroline.
