Artifact Overview

Willa Wright was a bit unusual--most young women of her era married and raised a family. Willa worked as a stenographer in her native Missouri and then as a clerk at a Chicago brokerage office. In 1932, 47-year-old Willa married Edwin Nicodemus. The couple enjoyed travel and outdoor adventures, including camping in Canada, cruising Alaska's Yukon River, and touring Nevada.
