Wedding picture of George Washington Childress and Nettie Elizabeth Leach
m. in Snyder on the 25th of Dec. 1904?
Nettie is a daughter of Ladson and Jane Hull Leach. All the info I have on this picture is that they married and had dinner at the hotel in Snyder. They drove by buggy from Ira, not even dirt roads just pasture land, all the way. This is my husbands' family and pictures from the family albums. Bertha Childress, daughter of Nettie and George Childress, married Carl Williams on Feb. 4, 1924 in Ira. Carl was a cotton buyer and his brother Albert Childress was a school teacher in Ira. At one time Carl and Albert Williams owned the drug store in Ira. Carl and Bertha Childress Williams are Jerry's parents.-my husband.
