Family correspondence, printed materials and creative works comprise the bulk of the Dr. Nicholas D. Labadie Family Papers. The papers are arranged in two groups. The Family Papers contain the papers of Nicholas D. Labadie and his immediate family from 1831 to 1873 (bulk: 1840-1867). The correspondence details family life in Galveston from its earliest days through the Civil War and Reconstruction, medical practices, yellow fever epidemics, and fires. Other creators include Mary Cecelia Labadie Tucker, Charlotte Labadie Barstow, and Jane Seymour Labadie. The Tucker Papers contain research conducted into the life of Nicholas D. Labadie from 1892-1942 (bulk: 1936-1942) by Philip C. Tucker III, his grandson. Of particular interest is a biography of Labadie commissioned by the family and written by S.M. Barger in 1894. Correspondence between Tucker and relatives Victor Labadie and Anna L. Tucker concerns Louis W. Kemp's biography of Labadie written for The Heroes of San Jacinto. Included are albumen prints, two ambrotypes, and one daguerreotype.
