A cartoon postcard depicts a poker scene where a man is looking for a penny chip under the table while all the other gamblers impatiently wait for him and make comments. The inscription above reads: "They'll Do It Every Time" by Jimmy Hatlo

Series II provides a history of the Ronzone family, mostly through newspaper clippings and photographs. Thirteen black and white photographs depict scenes in turn-of-the-20th- century mining towns in Alaska, possibly including Nome and Sitka. Bertha and her husband A. B. "Ben" Ronzone were originally in Alaska during the gold rush between 1900 and 1904 before they came to Nevada; these pictures were taken just after that time. Six other photographs in this series feature Ann, Dick, and Bertha Ronzone in social and other contexts. There are also newspaper clippings about Bertha Ronzone and the rest of
the family, telling the story of their pioneer years in central Nevada and their migration to and success in Las Vegas. Finally, there are various obituaries for Dick Ronzone, a list of possible Ronzone relatives, and some personal programs and ephemera from funeral and other personal events.

Horses draw a cart outside of a stone building. A man appears to be dancing on top of the building. Written on the back of the photograph is, "Taken near present day Tonopah. The first man behind the horses is my great-grandfather John Peter Wright (1870-1903). My grandfather was in the process of dying from silicosis having worked in the Delamar mines. He was a freighter-because he could not do hard labor. W. I. Booth photographer. Wells Nevada."
