On This Day in Family History - February 17

 Isabel Matilda Carter Cartee was born 17 February 1875

She was the daughter of Ned Jonas Carter and Nancy Jane Evans,
a sister to my great-great-grandmother Adaline Carter Arnold,
"Aunt Tilda" to my great-grandmother Annie Arnold Hicks

Tilda married Thomas Cartee  and they had five children - Guy Rufus, Ora Val, Geneva Catherine, Leamon, and Lucy. Leamon and Lucy died in childhood. Tom Cartee's brother Will married Tilda's younger sister Ellen. Tom and Will's sister Rebecca Cartee married George Rufus Carter, a son of Tilda and Ellen's brother Wesley Carter.
