NOTES:

*James Philip MATTHEWS died in 1932 that's a fact!

My grandmother Fannie was giving birth to her first child while her father was dying.

* I have a copy of Minnie and James marriage bond.

* Marriage -Book R, Page # 0362

* Would love to find other searchers to share info and would love to find older pictures of all my Matthews. My grandmother didn't have many pictures. :(
