The Dolores Hoagland Collection contains papers from four generations of Hoagland individuals. The bulk of the materials document the Hoagland family's extensive military background, their businesses - Richland Furs and Richland Arms - in Blissfield, Michigan, and their lives and activities at home and abroad. Subjects include Hoagland family history, Blissfield local history, business proceedings, military experiences, and activities encompassing work, vacation, and family. Material types include correspondence, photographs, business records, military service records and scrapbooks. The papers of Clement Sr. and Clement Jr. compromise the bulk of the collection. Clement Sr. served in the First World War in the 353rd Aero Service Squadron from 1918-1919. Clement Jr. served in the Second World War from 1943-1945. After the war, Clement Jr. came back to Blissfield to join the family business and eventually took over operations of the Richland Furs and Richland Arms. Dolores (Hatcher) Hoagland married Thomas C. Hoagland (Clement Jr.) in 1950 in Blissfield, Michigan. They couple had three children, Thomas, William Neal and Harriet Ann.
