Born near Lake City, Minnesota in 1862, he worked from 1879-1881 as a schoolteacher in Wabasha County, Minnesota, and then went to the University of Minnesota in December, 1881. At this time he began to submit humorous material to the Saturday Spectator of Minneapolis. Carruth left school in September, 1882 and became a full-time employee of the Spectator, both as a writer and as an office-worker. The following year Carruth started publishing and editing a weekly newspaper in Estelline, South Dakota, a town of 250 residents. This paper was highly regarded and recognized outside of its rural circuit. Carruth sold the Estelline Bell in 1886, and published the Dakota Bell in 1887. Carruth then left Minnesota and came to New York; he became a staff editorial writer at the New York Tribune in 1888. He left the Tribune in 1902, but continued to contribute to it on a free-lance basis, along with several other newspapers and magazines. From 1900-1902 he had a column, "The Editor's Drawer", in Harper's Magazine. He was literary editor at the Woman's Home Companion, 1905-1917; from 1917 until his death in 1932 Carruth had a popular column, "The Postscript", in this magazine. In addition, he published works of juvenile fiction, in both book and serialized form. In 1884 Carruth married Ettie L. Gorton of Lake City, Minnesota. Their grandson, Hayden Carruth (b.1921) the poet, is the; son of Gorton V. Carruth. (ca. 1888-1960).who was an editor. Their other sons were Oliver E., Max Irwin, and Paul H. Carruth (ca. 1892-1961), a magazine artist. Scope and Content The arrangement of the collection apparently reflects the original order of the papers when donated to the New York Public Library. Not all of the series are in chronological order. Since Gorton Carruth provided numerous notes, he may also have had something to do with the order of the papers. Many of the scrapbooks were compiled by Hayden Carruth himself, but others were the work of Oliver E. and Gorton Carruth. Series Description The collection consists of General Correspondence (1883-1961), Alphabetical Correspondence (1882-1934), Woman's Home Companion Material (ca. 1905-1932), Early Career Material (1872-1892), Writings, Various Writings (1898-1921), Various Papers (ca. 1889-1957), Diaries and Notebooks (1858-1885), various scrapbook series of clippings as follows: Magazine Writings; Editorials Published in the New York Daily Tribune; Various Writings in the New York Tribune (Sunday Edition): Articles Published in the Chicago Tribune; "Postscript" Articles in the Woman's Home Companion; Verse; a Scrapbook of Various Clippings, Notes etc.; and Scrapbooks of Clippings about Hayden Carruth and his Writings. General Correspondence begin with letters from Carruth's days at the Minneapolis Spectator, and with letters concerned with the establishment of The Estelline Bell. The correspondence continues through the years Carruth worked as a newspaper publisher and editor, and as a free-lance writer. There are letters between Carruth and various periodicals which he contributed to, and letters from other periodicals in the Midwest and East. Some letters are from advertisers, and some, addressed to Carruth in his capacity as an editor, are from writers. At the end of this series are letters, 1956-1961, of Gorton Carruth and Hayden Carruth (b.1921) to Alfred Baker, the grandson of the artist Peter Newell (1862-1924). Alphabetical Correspondence includes among letters of many notable people those of Peter Newell, with whom Carruth collaborated; here is also correspondence, 1906, of Jack London (1876-1916), correspondence with Robert Loveman (1864-1923) the poet, and with Whipple O. Parrott and Samuel T, Clover, Carruth's publishing partners at the Estelline Bell and Dakota Bell respectively.

The next series, Woman's Home Companion Material, also contains material, mostly manuscripts, in connection with Carruth's "Postscript" column. Earlier material includes correspondence to Carruth, inter-office memoranda, and verses written by Carruth for the entertainment of the staff. Correspondents include Gertrude B. Lane, editor of the Woman's Home Companion. Early Career Material contains pre-career material such as 1872 sketches, and later material such as notebooks of ideas and early writings. Published Writings include both the original manuscripts for book publication and the revised versions for magazine publication of the popular works of juvenile fiction, Track's End and In Frontenac Cave. Among other writings is the long short story, "Shorty", the first serious piece of narrative fiction to be published by a leading magazine. Various Writings contain both published and unpublished works, and both prose and verse. Various Writings includes notes and ideas for writings, various certificates, and invitations, menus and memoranda of organizations with which Carruth was associated. There are also several photographs of Carruth, spanning his career. Diaries and Notebooks contain several small diaries and early notebooks. Addenda material added to this series includes an account book for the Estelline Bell. There are also four sets of diary groups. One set (1858-1885) is Carruth's diaries, incorporating copies of early family notes also; one set (1853-1875) is diaries of Mary Veeder, Carruth's mother; one set (1859-1867) is diaries of Louise Veeder, his grandmother; the final set (1878-79) is diaries of Helen Kimball, a friend of Carruth's parents and a correspondent in the collection.

"This scrapbook of verse was compiled by Hayden Carruth himself up to and including "The Ballade of Questioning" published in the New York Gall, 14 May 1911. All the verse following this I have inserted. It is probable that H.C. did not intend to put into this book all his poems but only those that he considered his better work. All of those that I have added he had saved either in copies of the magazines in which they appeared or in clippings from magazines. I think he knew that he had some of these at least, but he did not think them worthy of a place in the book"[note by Gorton V. Carruth, Mar 1958]. Scrapbook of Various Clippings, Notes etc. "This scrapbook contains newspaper clippings, handwritten notes and some other material saved by Hayden Carruth as a source of information and ideas for his writing. Virtually all of the material during the four years he worked for the New York Tribune, 1888-92, and I suspect a good many clippings were made for him by the Tribune's exchange editor. H.C. did not persist in pasting the material in the book and perhaps half of it I found loose between the pages. I have pasted all of this in. Some of the material is not without historical interest. All of it throws light on his literary methods and style" [note by Gorton v. Carruth, Mar 1958]. Scrapbooks of Clippings about Hayden Carruth and His Writings 30. ca. 1891-1938. "This is the only scrapbook of material about himself and his work that Hayden Carruth ever undertook to keep. At his request I have pasted in it the clippings about "Track's End" in the first 44 pages of the book. He himself, I think, placed in it only one clipping. All of the rest of the material in this book, as well as in the other two scrapbooks of clippings about himself and his work, I have placed in them since his death in 1932" [note by Gorton V. Carruth, Jun 19583]. ca. 1895-1957 [annotated by Gorton V. Carruth but without introductory notes]. "All of the clippings in this book have to do with the two Bells - The Estelline Bell (4 Aug 1883 - 28 Aug 1886) and The Dakota Bell (16 Apr 1887 - 28 Aug. 1887) - and Hayden Carruth's writing for these two papers. These clippings were all made in the Bells' offices: that is, they were not furnished by clipping agencies. Presumably, therefore, they were virtually all from exchanges and did not represent all of the comment made about the Bells by the contemporary press. The clippings about the Estelline Bell have been roughly divided into two categories: those commenting upon the Bell during H.C.'s editorship thereof and those about his sale of the paper. Those about the Dakota Bell are grouped in three categories: comment upon the announcement of the establishment of the magazine and upon its first issue; comment upon later issues of the magazine; and comment upon its suspension."
