Collection
1866 - 1934

There are three categories of correspondence in this collection. The first is four letters sent to Mary Ressler in 1866 by Christian K. (CK) Nissley, Mary's betrothed. These letters are among the most interesting of the collection. The second category is a small set of letters sent to Mary while she was still living in Lancaster, PA. Among these are a letter from Peter Nissley, CK's father. The final set of letters were sent later, between 1887 and 1934 after Mary had moved to Wakarusa, Ind. and married John Beutler. They include Ressler family round robin letters.

The last folder in the collection contains a few items of ephemera.
