The Ada Hunt Whitehouse papers include her personal correspondence and papers. The bulk of the materials, however, deal with the financial records of Mrs. Whitehouse, her family and the Hunt Food Shop. These records include materials concerning family property holdings such as deeds, mortgages and title abstracts. Federal, state and local tax records are also present. The papers contain Ada Hunt Whitehouse's check ledgers and statements. In addition there are other financial records such as general ledgers and employee records of the Hunt Food Shop. There is also a recipe book for the Hunt Food Shop which includes a loose Hunt Food Shop check. Some of the recipes also include the cost to make the recipe, yield and the selling price. Several farm ledgers of Ada's father, William Hunt, make up part of these papers.
