Autograph cards. Appear to be from Central High School teacher to a colleague moving to Missouri to get married. Addressed to Anna Workman (Fairchild), most of the cards have a picture, apparently of the teacher, but these may be identified with a contrived name, rather than the real ID of the writer of the card. Other illustrations, poems and remembrances are included on the cards. Their association with Widdicomb is unknown.
