A few weeks ago, I posted photos of the children of Captain Joshua Sledge and his sisters - Friday's Photo: Three Bienville Parish Families - Sledge, Martin, and Bryan. This week, I am posting additional photos of Captain Joshua Sledge. These are from the collection sent to me by Mary Martin Smith.[1] She is pictured in the photo below with her uncle, Captain Joshua.
Captain Joshua Sledge, born in Van Zandt County, Texas, was the son of Milton James Sledge and Sinthia Nolan. He married Catherine Lillian Cowart of Bienville Parish in 1904. They are buried in the Springhill Cemetery in Ringgold.[2]
