George David (Dave) Mize & his wife, Martha Columbus (Key) Mize.

Martha Columbus Mize was my father half sister of which he never saw. They left Wedowee, Alabama and moved to Texas some time before 1900. They left with mules and wagon and their children. I located them when my younger brother gave me a picture postcard having a picture of Marvin Mize with his wife and one child. It was sent prior to 1918 that is when my grandfather died. It was post marked Hermleigh, Texas.

George & Columbus (key) Mize Photo was taken while they were in Texas 1925 or 1930

Dave Mize family with his mother

The picture was probably made after they were in Texas a few years. L. C. Mize is a grandson of Dave and Martha Columbus (Key) Mize. L.C. Mize and his wife, Clyda lives in Colorado City, Texas. Jewel Splawn is a granddaughter and lives in Wichita Falls, Texas.
