One volume recipe book (118 page) written in a Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien Railway ledger. The majority of recipes are for cakes (railroad, Dollie Varden, ribbon, sunshine, Cooper citron) and other desserts (Mother's kisses, ammonia cookies, apple meringue, moonshine pudding). Savory recipes include chow chow, veal bouquet, Mount Desert stew, and parsnip fritters. Mostly handwritten pages in book, with few newspaper clippings pasted in. Three additional folder contain handwritten and newspaper inserts, including several repurposed envelopes addressed to "Mrs. C. N. Harmon" (Helen Jane Kilgore's daughter Helen Gertrude).
