Pictures evidently made the same day.
Sallie has on the same clothes. Looks like one is a studio picture and
right picture is made outdoors. Were these made on her wedding day?
Maybe not as none were found with here in this dress with Dimpson Nunley.
Studio was probably Williamson, VW

George Dimpson Nunley was a quite
person - didn't say much and let thing take it's course. Sallie took care of the kids and would "pour it on us" when needed. Children do not remember Dimpson ever spanking them once. Pam stayed at Narrows while Herb & Marion were separated. |

Alice lived with 1 year with Ireland and Maude in Chattanooga and went to Ridgedale Elementary School for the 6th grade. Alice was sickly in McClure and had to walk to school in the deep snows. So Sallie let her go with Maude and Ireland to Chattanooga for one year. She would ride the trolley cars around Chattanooga and to movie shows on Saturdays. Alice was able to ride a school bus to school at McClure and stay out of the snow the next year, so she went back home.. |
