Friday's Photo: Anna Laura Martin and Joseph Linford Martin

Anna Laura Martin, born in 1902 in Bienville Parish, died 1998 in Alpine, Texas.
Joseph Linford Martin, born 1902 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, died 1990 in 
Ringgold, Louisiana. Both are buried in the Wimberly Cemetery in Bienville Parish. 

Last Friday, I posted some photos from the Mary Martin Smith collection of Anna Laura Martin. This week, I have photos of Anna Laura Martin and her husband, Joseph Linford Martin. 

Although Anna Laura, from Bienville Parish, and her husband, from Tennessee, shared the same surname, it does not appear that they are related. 

The top photo was from the collection of Marguerite Cook Clark and was taken of the couple when celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in 1970. 

I love the photos of Anna Laura and Joseph Linford when they were young. The hairstyles and clothing in these photos suggest that they were taken around the early 1920s.
