A great mixture of sense and nonsense is Mr. W. K. <s>H Higleby's</s> Higley's
paper "On the Microscopic and general characters of the Peach
tree affected with the "Yellows". Am. Naturalist, 1881 pp. 849-857
and 961-976.  He attributes the disease in part or whole to a
fungus which he finds in fruit and various parts of tree and he
describes and figures it as "unicellular, branching and much enlarged
in places" and says it "reminds one of Saprolegnieae, to
which division of fungi this form seems to belong."  [Work seems
to have been done at Univ. of Michigan]. 
It was done then but not under Prof. Spalding
[From the crude drawings is is difficult to guess what Mr. Higley had under
observation - Probably mycellium of Monolia.]
