Friday's Photo: Tom Wimberly and His Dog

Hello Margarite: I'll send you this for Xmas. No Jim's baby hair nearly all come out and the other isn't long enough to curl yet. Tom don't look like he ever had any curls now. Lawson is ready at [not sure about this last sentence - Lawson was Joe's husband]
Bye Bye, Joe. 

Sent on 22 December 1909 and addressed to Mrs. E. C. Cook, Ringgold, La, R.F.D.#1

This post card was sent to Mary Marguerite Martin Cook of Ringgold in Bienville Parish, Louisiana from Joe Mangham Wimberly also of Ringgold. Both women were busy young mothers at that time. Joe's two oldest children were Tom Lawson Wimberly and Jim Green Wimberly. Tom is the child in the above photo. 

Mary Marguerite Martin and Edward C. Cook were the parents of Marguerite Cook Clark.
