Capt. William Treat died 15 July 1917, age 88

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure how (or if) he is related to our Treat family. Still working on it.

Dalton Dwayne Tucker was born 15 July 1935

Dwayne is the husband of Glynda Carter.

Glynda is the daughter of Ned Jackson Carter, son of John Martin Carter.

(Glynda has been a prolific source of family history on the Carter branch of the family tree!)

Delbert was the husband of Sylvia Arnold.

Sylvia was a daughter of Marlie Arnold (brother of my great-grandmother Annie Arnold Hicks)
