Marriages:
1. Robert Abner "Bob" Stripling Dec 17, 1891, Smith County, TX, family says to this union was born two sons: Bobby and James E. I have the DC for James confirming his parents, but I've not found Bobby.
2. Smith County, TX records Dec 30, 1908: Alfred Williams, groom and Lula Stripling, bride.
3. Unknown Humphreys , conclusion from tombstone:Lula Stripling Humphreys.
I have a postcard photo sent from Lula to her half brother, Mell and his wife Presciah, there is a photo on the front of the baby, on the back is this:
Nov 20 19?0 [The year's 3rd digit is extremely light and seems odd, there is no postage stamp]
"Mell & Presciah
I will send you all one of my baby's pictures" "he has six teeth can sit lone and crawl a little his name is L T he has light hair, blue eyes"... There is more, then signed Your Sis, Lula.
My questions: Is this possibly a grandchild or her own?
What is this baby's name and who are the parents?
