Abstract:

Papers of a former Wisconsin congressman and his family, consisting of correspondence, speeches, certificates and official documents, clippings, a journal, and memorabilia. Guenther's papers consist of fragmentary political and diplomatic correspondence, handwritten and printed copies of speeches and remarks, certificates and official documents, biographical clippings, and memorabilia. Family material includes correspondence, clippings, and a journal of Alice Lillian Motz, Guenther's daughter, and her husband Eugen Motz, former Chilean vice-counsel to Mexico City. Of note are genealogical documents and a journal of uncertain authorship kept during the Mexican revolution, 1913-1915. There are isolated letters to Guenther from Susan B. Anthony, Benjamin Harrison, Jeremiah Rusk, Philetus Sawyer, and John Sherman and a letter from Guenther to his wife concerning a 1904 visit with Theodore Roosevelt.
