ENGAGEMENTS AND MARRIAGES?b?
?/b?The following clippings of newspaper engagement and marriage announcements were found in a scrapbook compiled by the Imogene Oakley. Most items are 1931-1935 or 1939-1941. Sources for the clippings are not given but identifiable sources are the Lexington Republican (later the Leader), the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the Lexington Progress, and the Jackson Sun. Handwritten dates in the scrapbook for the most part seem to be the date of marriage and not the date of publication. The scrapbook is now owned by Brenda Kirk Fiddler.

Notes:

Married:
Sherry Connally Murray writes that Viola married Will S. Connally, and they lived in Lexington, Henderson County, Tennessee. On the image of his Tennesee Marriage license, he is listed as W. S. Conlee, however his signature is shown as W.S. Connally.

Notes:

"James was with Forrest in the war between the states, and he was somewhat legendary, as I have heard some good stories about him. He was the strongest man in Tennessee, and could lift a bale of cotton. He was about 6'6" which was huge for those times. My grandmother was also 6' tall. I have a nice picture of his family group and also a pic of him and Margaret with him in his uniform. Sherry Connally Murray - Jackson, TN."
