Series I: Case files (Restricted Files)
Scope and Contents
These papers document Ellen V. Nash's career as a solo practitioner. Her legal work consisted primarily of trust and estates, insurance, divorce, adoptions, and real estate. (“I really enjoy real estate work...its really interesting to see the history of the land enfolding back to the time of Jefferson”. Daily Progress, Dec. 12, 1971). Apparently, she worked by herself almost all her life, but had a partner, Alvin D. Edelson, in the 1970's and worked close to Bernard Chamberlain, lawyer and UVA alumni.
Some of these papers suffered extensive water and mildew damage; in fact, a portion of the papers were so badly damaged that were not transfered to the library.
