These items have been processed and archived together. Ledgers and other bound items were stored in open shelves. Loose items from these bound volumes have been stored in a document box with notations detailing their original location.

Historical Note
In 1822 Walter Newman began operating a furnace on a 900 acre piece of property he owned along Stony Creek, west of Edinburg. Newman called this site Liberty Furnace, a name that is retained today. They mined iron ore on their surrounding lands and operated a charcoal furnace to refine the ore which as then shipped to surrounding communities by wagon and later the railroad.
Walter Newman, and later his son Benjamin, operated the furnace until 1874 when it was sold to the Wissler family who also purchased Columbia Furnace. They operated both sites until 1884 when the Columbia Liberty Iron Company was organized by a syndicate of Philadelphia Interests to run the site.
In 1891 H.H. Yard of Philadelphia founded the Liberty Iron Company and bought the furnace. He also built a narrow gauge railroad, nicknamed the “Dinky” to connect the main rail line at Edinburg with the furnace. However, a series of legal challenges between Yard and the Columbia syndicate forced both the railroad and furnace into receivership. Though the furnace remained opened after the receivership period, profits were low and the company’s debt was high.
The furnace was sold again in 1905 to the Quaker City National Bank of Philadelphia, the Monarch Blast Furnace Company, and entrepreneurs Joseph Jackson and Elizabeth Gaffney. The organized the Shenandoah Iron and Coal Company to manage operations and worked to install improved machinery on the railroad and at the furnace.
However, iron producing once again proved to be unprofitable. Jackson purchased the assets of the company at a court sale in 1907, closed the furnace, and used the railroad to ship large tracts of lumber and bark from the area. This continued until 1917 when the railroad ceased operations and the company closed.
In 1942 Samuel G. Clark purchased the property from the Jackson estate and held it until his death in 1983. During his time on the property, Clark disassembled the ruins of several of the furnace structures and used their remains to construct the stone retaining wall and spring house currently standing on the site. He also collected and preserved the documents that had been left at the site.
