Friday's Photo: Joe Mangham Wimberly of Bienville Parish

Today's photo comes from the collection of Mary Martin Smith. The "mc collection" seen on the label indicates that Mary Martin Smith copied the original that was found in the Marguerite Cook Clark collection. However, I did not see the exact photo when scanning photos in the Marguerite Cook Clark collection. I found only the faded photo seen below leading me to the conclusion that there is still more to see. 

Did Joe Mangham Wimberly have a nickname? On this
photo, there is a word following her name in quotation marks. 

Joe Mangham was the daughter of James Green Mangham and Julia Frances Murph. She was a graduate of Female College in Mansfield, Louisiana, and taught school for a short period. She married Andrew Lawson Wimberly, child of John Lawson Wimberly and Alice Martha Bryan. 

Andrew and Joe had eight children:

Tom Lawson Wimberly

Jim Green Wimberly

Frank Lee Wimberly

Hallie Wimberly

Linda May Wimberly

Sarah Alice Wimberly

Vashti Wimberly

Julia Fannie Wimberly

Joe, Andrew, and their children are buried in the Wimberly Cemetery.
