FIFTH GENERATION

65. Viola Ruth Williamson was born on Nov 15 1914.⁽¹⁰⁰⁾

She was married to James Merrit Nelson on Jan 24 1934 in Highland Park Christian Church, Chattanooga, TN.⁽¹⁰¹⁾ We have a newspaper announcement indicating the marriage on the following Tuesday. There is no date on the newspaper clipping. On the back of the clipping there is a reference to a birth of a child on Tuesday, Jan 17. My assumption is that this newspaper clipping was published after the Jan 17 Tuesday, but before the Jan 24 Tuesday, thus the date of Jan 24 for the wedding. There is another article referencing the fact that a village near Dresden was 1,000 years old in 1933 (Zittau). Since the article was describing a trip to Germany during Christmas, my assumption was the reference to 1933 was "last year." Thus the year of 1934. Viola Ruth Williamson and James Merrit Nelson had the following children:

+128 i. James Merritt Nelson Jr.
+129 ii. Stephen Clay Nelson.
