Obie Geneva Arnold was one of "Uncle George's girls" -- daughter of George Ned Arnold. (George was the brother of my great-grandmother Annie Arnold Hicks.) Obie and her sister Opie were twins. Obie married Vernie Davidson in 1934. They had nine children: Zenus, twins Coy and Toy, Gerald, Anita, Kay, Naomi, Wilma, and Verna. (I don't know which daughter is in the photograph above.)

More pictures of Obie Arnold Davidson
Obie and Opie were born in September 1917, a month after my grandmother Cleffie Hicks, so the three of them were often photographed together.
Photo: Vernie and Obie with their 4 sons. Vernie is holding Toy and Coy, Opie is holding Gerald, and Zenus is standing next to her. This picture would have been taken in 1939.
