Scope and Content

The earliest records show Howard Ellis Roper living in Napa in 1888 at the age of 21. While living in Napa, Roper served as president of the Napa Building and Loan Association, Secretary of the School Board of Trustees, and other positions that involved the school district and the building of the Napa State Hospital. The collection consists of the papers, letters, books, and photographs that reflect his work with the school district and the State Hospital. There are a very small amount of personal items such as photographs and yearbooks.
