Photograph, from left to right, of Charlie Mertz, Kate Mertz and Frances Nichols standing in front of their home at Nichols Ranch in Santa Ana. All three gaze off towards the left. Charlie Mertz stands in front of a tree and rests his hands to his hips. Kate Mertz stands at center and hangs her arms by her side. To the right of her, Frances Nichols holds a cat. Behind them, the front porch of the home stands at right. The house is viewed at an angle as it stretches on an angle from right to left behind the trio.
Photograph of Frances Nichols sitting with a cat in her lap on the porch of her home at Nichols Ranch. Frances sits right-of-center on the low floor of the porch. She looks down towards her lap where she holds a cat. The cat sits up partially and looks to the camera. To the left of them, a scrapper with "Jack" written on it is affixed to a low post and a porch post that rises along the left edge of the image. Behind Frances, the porch floor stretches across the image. A door stands behind and to the left of Frances and a window is to the right of the door.
