Includes a range of items given to Nagle from the Seitz family. They are descendants of Eber B. Ward through Eber's granddaughter Mabel Seitz, who was the daughter of John P. Ward (who was accused of raping a young woman and was murdered by the young woman's brother during the subsequent trial). A range of items are included such as: a copy of a letter from Mabel (Ward) Seitz from 1896 chronicling Clara's affairs and the chaos in the family.
