Correspondence This series consists of correspondence to either Martin Kittel or the Frank Lynch Company. They date from 1903 to 1953. The series is broken down in to two parts. The first part with the correspondence by date only. The second is by name in alphabetical order.

Legal This series contains a personal ledger as well as six folders dealing with land holding records for William F. Kittel who was Martin Kittel’s brother.
