BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTE Morgan Brooks (1861-1947) and Frona Marie (Brooks) Brooks (1861-1947) are central figures in the Brooks Family collection. They descended from the Brooks, Butler, and Buck families of New England. Frona's grandfather, Charles Buck (1798-1863), married Sophronia Herrick (1803-1841) in 1825. The couple had three children, Charles W. Buck (1833-1933), a Unitarian minister; Robert Herrick Buck (birth name Jedidiah), who invested in Colorado gold mines; and Charlotte Frances Buck, (1828-1907). In 1852 Charlotte married Boston attorney Benjamin Franklin Brooks, and the couple had four children: Frona Marie Brooks, the only child to marry, Arthur, Esther Clara Herrick Brooks, M.D., and Franklin Herrick Brooks. Morgan's grandfather, Caleb Butler, married Clarissa Varnum, and they had a daughter, Frances Butler in 1822. Frances married Francis Augustus Brooks, a Boston, Mass., corporate attorney and railroad president, in 1847. This couple had three children: Charles B., Frederick, and Morgan Brooks. The collection includes correspondence among these family members and a great deal of professional correspondence and documents, mainly from Charles W. Buck, Benjamin Franklin Brooks, Franklin Herrick Brooks, and Francis Augustus Brooks. Morgan Brooks and Frona Marie Brooks were married in 1888. They moved to Urbana, Illinois, shortly after their wedding where Morgan became a nationally known professor of engineering. Morgan and Frona had eight children, all of whom survived into adulthood: Henry Morgan (1889-1948), married Ruth Hayford in 1911; Charles Franklin Brooks (1891-1958), married Eleanor M. Stabler, and they had seven children; Frances Brooks (b. 1893) married Lincoln Colcord in 1929; Frederick Augustus Brooks (1895-1967), married Harriet Kinley in 1921 (divorced) and, secondly, Margaret H. Ward in 1929; Roger Brooks (1896-1957) married Anne Goebel in 1921 (divorced) and, secondly, Janet in 1928; Edith Brooks (1889-1952); Frona Marguerite Brooks ("Margie") (1901-1985), married George Hughes in 1924. The couple had two daughters, Ann and Octavia ("Taffy") before they divorced in 1927; she then married Richard Rice; Dorothy Prescott (b. 1905), married Joe Thomas in 1931.

Biographical History for: Series 1: Charles F. Brooks (CFB) and Eleanor Stabler Brooks (ESB)
Morgan Brooks (1861-1947) and Frona Marie (Brooks) Brooks (1861-1947) were descended from the Brooks, Butler, and Buck families of New England. Morgan and Frona had eight children, all of whom survived into adulthood: Henry M., Charles F., Frances, Frederick A., Roger, Edith, Frona Marguerite ("Margie"), and Dorothy. The second son, Charles Franklin Brooks (born 1891) married Eleanor M. Stabler, and they had seven children: Edward M., Margaret, Sylvia, Barbara, Edith, Norman, and Frona. Charles was a graduate of Harvard University (A.B. 1911, A.M. 1912, Ph.D. 1914) and a professor of meteorology at Harvard from 1931 to 1958 and director of the Blue Hill Meteorology Observatory. Also a founder of the American Meteorology Society and methodical in most matters, Charles took it upon himself to keep the family in communication; he created family circulars that compiled letters of his brothers and sisters. Eleanor Stabler (born 1892) was a 1914 graduate of Radcliffe College, summa cum laude in biology, and a descendant of long-time Quaker family of Brooklyn, NY. She and Charles married under the care of New York Monthly Meeting in 1914. Charles became a member of the Society of Friends, though his religious sensibilities were somewhat amorphous. The collection includes a survey he took about his religious beliefs, along with other autobiographical writings and professional work. The family lived in Milton, Conn., and summered at Silver Lake, N.H. Charles died unexpectedly in 1958. After his death, Eleanor lived with her sister, Anna Bunker Stabler. Eleanor died in 1986. Charles and Eleanor are also represented in the Stabler Family Papers, RG5/234.

Series 2: Morgan Brooks (MB) and Frona Marie Brooks (FMB)
Biographical History for: Series 2: Morgan Brooks (MB) and Frona Marie Brooks (FMB)
Morgan Brooks (1861-1947) and Frona Marie (Buck) Brooks (1861-1947) are central figures in the Brooks Family collection. They descended from the Brooks, Butler, and Buck families from Massachusetts. Morgan and Frona had eight children, all of whom survived into adulthood: Henry M., Charles F., Frances, Frederick A., Roger, Edith, Frona Marguerite ("Margie"), and Dorothy. Frona Marie Brooks was born 4/9/1861 in Tours, France. She graduated from Smith College in 1883 and also attended Radcliffe. Her grandfather, Charles Buck (1798-1863), married Sophronia Herrick (1803-1841) in 1839. The couple had two children, Charles W. Buck (CWB), a Boston lawyer, and Charlotte Frances Buck, b. 1828. In 1852, Charlotte married attorney Benjamin Franklin Brooks (BFB), and the couple had four children: Frona Marie, Charles, Esther (ECH), and Franklin Herrick Brooks. Extensive business papers of Benjamin Franklin Brooks and Franklin Herrick Brooks are included in Series 6 of the collection. Morgan Brooks was born 3/12/1861 and graduated from Brown University and the Stevens Institute. Morgan's grandfather, Caleb Butler, married Clarissa Varnum, and they had a daughter, Frances Butler, in 1822. Frances married Francis Augustus Brooks (FAB), a corporate attorney and railroad president, in 1847. This couple had three children: Charles B., Frederick, and Morgan. Both Morgan and Frona corresponded frequently with their extended families. Morgan and Frona met in 1885, became engaged in 1887, and sent each other almost daily-letters during Morgan's travels from 1887 until their marriage on 4/24/1888. They moved to Urbana, Illinois, shortly after their wedding, where Morgan became a nationally respected professor of electrical engineering at University of Illinois - Urbana and businessman. The collection includes their correspondence with their families, each other, and their children. Also included are Morgan's professional writings and voluminous correspondence with his father, Francis Augustus Brooks (1824-1902) in which they frequently discussed science and religion. Frona Marie ran their busy household with eight children, wrote, was an activist in women's leagues, and entertained a variety of guests. Frona was also a prolific writer who actively sought to publish her writings with only a small degree of success. The collection includes several of her short stories, plays, and poems, including drafts and correspondence with publishers. Her nickname to her grandchildren was "Dada." One of the couple's friends was Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, a former classmate of Morgan at Brown University. Other notable guests were Rabindranath Tagore (Nobel Laureate for literature from India), Alfred Noyes (English poet), and Anoclito Bugayon (Filipino exchange student). The collection contains some correspondence, articles, and other materials from these individuals. Morgan and Frona enjoyed a deeply devoted marriage, evident from the constant affectionate correspondence between one another when separated. This included Morgan's years of sabbatical leave when he taught at the University of Nebraska and several summers when Frona took some of their children to Lake Minnesota. Morgan died 4/23/1947, and Frona followed him on 8/31/1947. Note: See also Series 1 for correspondence with Charles F. and Eleanor Stabler Brooks and Series 4 for correspondence with Esther Brooks.

Series 3: Children and Grandchildren of Morgan and Frona Marie Brooks
Biographical History for: Series 3: Children and Grandchildren of Morgan and Frona Marie Brooks
Morgan and Frona Brooks had eight children, all of whom survived into adulthood. Correspondence and other papers from these children are included in this collection. Henry Morgan, b. 9/2/1889, married Ruth Hayford in 1911. They had a daughter, Elizabeth. He was a speculator during the turbulent 1920s and 1930s and was plagued by constant money trouble from a young age. The bulk of his correspondence to the family concerns his financial problems. In August 1948, Henry killed a business partner to whom he was deeply in debt and committed suicide several days later. The collection contains several newspaper clippings and family letters about the tragedy. Charles Franklin Brooks (CFB), b. 1891, married Eleanor M. Stabler, and they had seven children; Edward M. who married Sarah; Margaret, who married Philip Weber Morse; Sylvia; Barbara, nicknamed "Bootie," who married Edward Kerner; Edith, married Donald Allison; Norman, married Fredericka Nelson; and Frona, married Ross Vicksall. Charles died unexpectedly in 1958, and Eleanor died in 1986. See Series 1 for their Papers. Charles and Eleanor are also well represented in the Stabler Family Papers. Frances Brooks, b. 11/7/1893, married Lincoln Colcord in 1929, and they had a son, Brooks. The couple lived in Searsport, Maine, where Frances maintained an active communication with her parents. Her correspondence ranges in topic and includes her involvement in government work during the World Wars. A good friend and classmate at Radcliffe of Eleanor Stabler, Frances introduced Eleanor to her brother Charles. Lincoln, who had been married before and had a daughter, grew up in Asia and was an author. He held strong political opinions, which are expressed in his letters to Frances's parents. Frances did extensive genealogical research which is stored in Series 5, Buck/Butler-Brooks Papers Frederick Augustus Brooks, b. 5/1/1895, married Harriet Kinley in 1921 (divorced) and, secondly, Margaret H. Wood in 1929. He had four daughters by the second marriage. He was a professor at the University of California- Davis. Roger Brooks, b. 12/22/1896, married Anne in 1921 (divorced) and, secondly, Janet in 1928. He had a daughter by his first marriage, and a son and an adopted daughter by his second. Roger spent much of his life in the Navy. Edith Brooks, b. 1/11/1889, was the only child of Morgan and Frona who did not marry. She worked a series of government jobs. As her parents' health started to fail, they moved in with her in Washington, D.C. in 1941, where they lived until her death in 1953. Frona Marguerite Brooks ("Margie"), b. 1/18/1901, married George Hughes in 1924. The couple had two daughters, Ann and Octavia ("Taffy") before they divorced in 1927; she later married Richard Rice. The collection includes her correspondence and academic papers. Frona Rice collected most of the papers in this collection which then were passed to her daughter Octavia Hughes who in turn sent them to her cousin, Barbara Brooks Kerner). Dorothy Prescott, b. 12/11/1905 married Joe Thomas in 1931, and they had a son and four daughters. There is only a small amount of her correspondence represented in the collection.

Early letters with her father, discussing whether she should pursue continued education or should practice medicine, are interesting; her letters with her sister Frona Marie also give a good picture of college life during the 1880s. As an adult, Esther devoted her time to being the aunt of Frona's eight children, going to prodigious lengths to keep the family in contact and compiling their letters. She died in September 1942

Biographical History for: Series 5: Buck/Butler Families
Frona Marie Brooks's grandfather, Charles Buck (1798-1863) was a Maine lumber merchant. He married Sophronia Herrick (1803-1841) in 1839. The couple had three children, Charles Wentworth Buck (CWB, 1833-1933), a Unitarian minister; Robert Herrick Buck (birth name Jedediah) who pursued gold mining in Colorado, and Charlotte Frances Buck (1828-1907). Charles Wentworth Buck (CWB) married Mary Stearns, and they had six children, but he was survived only by his two daughters, Charlotte Frances and Frona Mary Buck, and no grandchildren. Charles attended Harvard and Amherst and then Meadville Theological Seminary. He served in the pastorate in Massachusetts and Maine, and left the ministry in 1880 to join his brother Robert in Colorado. Late in life, he returned to Massachusetts where he lived with his two daughters. Robert H. Buck married Julia Fletcher, and they had four children: Robert, Arthur, Sally, and Alice Buck. His sister, Charlotte Frances, married attorney Benjamin Franklin Brooks (BFB) in 1852, and the couple had four children: Frona Marie, Charles, Esther (ECH), and Franklin Herrick Brooks. Extensive business papers of Benjamin Franklin Brooks (1816-1887) and Franklin Herrick Brooks (1866-1922) are included in Series 6 of the collection. The papers of Frona's sisters, Esther Clara Herrick Brooks, are stored in Series 4. Morgan's grandfather, Caleb Butler, married Clarissa Harriet Littlefield and had a daughter, Frances Butler in 1822. Frances married Francis Augustus Brooks (FAB), a corporate attorney and railroad president, in 1847. This couple had three children: Charles Butler Brooks, Frederick Brooks, and Morgan Brooks.
This Series includes correspondence among these family members and professional correspondence and documents, mainly from Charles W. Buck, Benjamin Franklin Brooks, Franklin Herrick Brooks, and Francis Augustus Brooks.
