Nettie Fowler McCormick Biographical Association records, 1802-1949.

Records of an association formed in 1932 by Mrs. McCormick's children. Virgina Roderick was employed as secretary, and served in this capacity until 1956 when the work of the Association was completed and her biography, Nettie Fowler McCormick, was published. The papers are composed of Miss Roderick's correspondence with individuals, organizations, and institutions in the search for letters and information; recollections and interviews she obtained from hundreds of persons who had known Mrs. McCormick; and both original and copied letters relating to Mrs. McCormick, some of which Harold originally had in his files. Included also are copies of letters from Eldridge M. Fowler to Cyrus H., Jr. concerning Mrs. McCormick, and letters and notes that James G. K. McClure, Sr., had collected for a memoir of Mrs. McCormick.
