Content Description: The Woodward family papers have been arranged chronologically within topically labeled folders of correspondence, financial papers, legal documents, and memorabilia. The correspondence includes one condolence letter from Montana Senator William A. Clark and six other personal letters from Governor John E. Rickards. Of particular interest is a letter from Reno, Nevada resident J. W. Redington, a former comrade of Woodward's who also served in the Nez Perce War. Redington's letter discusses his service and his application for a pension. The financial papers include William Woodward's bank statements and various receipts relating to him or his adult children. The legal documents consist of land deeds, water rights, mining claims, estate papers, some of which pertain to Roy A. Callan family of Beaverhead County, Montana. The relationship between the Callan and Woodward families is unclear.
