Friday's Photo: Karl Bryant Wimberly

This photo was found in the collection of Mary V. Smith; however
the "mc" under the photo indicates it is one she photographed in
Marguerite Clark's collection. I scanned many of Marguerite Cook Clark's
photos. This must be one I did not see. 

According to the Wimberly Family History, Karl Bryant Wimberly was the son of John Lawson Jr. and Alice Martha Bryan making him a descendant of both the William Wimberly and Reddick Bryan families of Bienville Parish, Louisiana. 

Karl, a farmer, married Helen Estelle Barker on 30 May 1915. They had four children.  Karl died in 1953 and Helen in 1984. Karl, Helen, and many family members are buried in the Wimberly Cemetery in Bienville Parish. 

This younger photo of Karl Wimberly and the obituary were found in the collection of 
Marguerite Cook Clark.
