Dad was born in 1879; Mom in 1897. Dad's first wife died during childbirth in 1908, along with the baby. Dad and Mom's families attended same church, same neighborhood (out in "the country"). Dad remembered when Mom was born; they married when he was 36, she 18.

BTW, I have a photo made about 1895; in photo are Dad and Mom's dad as teenagers about 16 - 19 and Mom's mom as a young woman in all-white frilly dress and hat.

DADDY  RETIRES
By Wilton Strickland

Thank you, Wilton.

I'm curious, was your mother much younger than your father? From your
dates, she lived 41 years after he died.
