Abstract

Correspondence, manuscript school assignments, printed material, and a receipt from Worley G. Simmons and his wife Isabel Simmons of Porterwood, West Virginia. Worley was a barber in Parsons, WV. Correspondence includes three letters and one postcard. Letters are to and from Worley's family members: Olive B. Kalar/Kalan, Annie B. Moore, and Celia M. Moore, all from Porterwood, WV (1909-1947). Correspondence topics include mathematics notes, a shoe purchase, and family life. Manuscript school assignments include essays by Porterwood resident Iva Moore and others (1901, undated). Printed material includes pages from school books (undated) and West Virginia state examination instructions (1919). The receipt shows that Mr. Simmons bought a Chautauqua Industrial Art Desk (1916).
