Okay, first off, I have to mention that it is the birthday of Peleg George Thomas 1769. Just because I think pee-leg is a funny name. It's a Bible name, granted, but it's still funny. And there are 2 or 3 of them in our Thomas family lineage. Also, the name George -- almost every one of our male Thomas ancestors has George for a first or middle name. The rest are either Charles or William. I'm not kidding. They were not very creative with names -- unlike the Carter/Arnold branch of the family tree in which there are names you've never heard of before or since! (Case in point... Zella...)
Now, the real post...
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO....
Zella Irene Hicks married Golden 'Doc' Barnett on 28 July 1934
Irene was one of the five sisters of my grandmother Cleffie Hicks Burford. Another sister, Ruby, married Doc's brother Arvil 'Jack' Barnett.

Doc and Irene celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in 1974:
As far as I know, they lived in Campbell, Missouri, all the years of their marriage.
Doc Barnett died in 1982 at age 67.
Irene died in 2002, age 87.
