Papers pertaining to the Lux and Miller families : San Francisco, Calif., and Nev., 1891-1963 (bulk 1953-1963).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122499004

Papers apparently from a disbound looseleaf notebook, consisting of typed and photostat copies of correspondence between Henry Miller of the cattle ranch partnership, Miller? business letters to Miller and Fulgham; biographical materials of Charles Lux and Henry Miller, including a copy of Miller's will; and genealogies of Miller and his heirs. Also contains newspaper clippings (1887-1962) about the Lux, Miller, Nickel, and Mein families (heirs of Miller through the marriages of his daughter and great granddaughter). The bulk of the clippings concern the "Nickel Litigation," (1954-1962), in which heirs of the Miller estate claim that the estate had been defrauded through improper transfer of land.
