AI Notes
A densely composed album page. Down the left column are three engraved announcement / invitation cards in tall script. Top card: Mrs. Theodore Barker FitzSimons announces the marriage of her daughter Anne FitzSimons Douglas to Mr. William Sproul Stickley, Winston-Salem NC. Middle card: Mrs. Leo Philip Flanagan announces the marriage of her daughter Mary Jane to Mr. Theodore Barker FitzSimons Jr., Savannah GA. Bottom card: Mr. John M.

Upper right: a WWI Soldiers Mail envelope from Cpl. T.B. FitzSimons (Engineers Pontoon Train, A.E.F.) addressed to Mrs. J.P. Walker, Adams Run, South Carolina, with ‘PASSED AS CENSORED’ stamp. Center column carries a column of three small portraits (infant ‘Marilee F.,’ bride ‘Anne Douglas Bride of William Stickley,’ a child ‘Ted’) alongside a long handwritten genealogical roster in blue ink listing the issue of Theodore Barker FitzSimons and Clara Mather. Lower right: 1958 Asheville-postmarked envelope addressed to Mrs. J.P. Walker, 3648 Hedrick St., Jacksonville, Florida, with a portrait labelled ‘Anne FitzSimons’.
Several handwritten dates remain partly illegible; where the same family appears elsewhere in the album, prefer those readings.
