Re; Wm. Jennings Nix birth date I think I covered that in my last letter. The correct spelling of the Cemetery is Wolf Cemetery (I have a picture of the entrance taken when I was back there in 2002. He and Martha Elizabeth MOORE were married 18 Feb 1884. Martha E. was born 5 Sep 1863 Oppelo, Perry Co., (later Conway Co.) AR. She died 4 Aug 1938 in Oppelo. I told you about having a picture of their log cabin.
