In
November 2011, I purchased a scrapbook at an antiques mall in Carson,
California. The scrapbook is believed to have belonged to Laurine Wyatt. I am
transcribing the articles and documents contained in the scrapbook with the
hope that it may be of value to genealogists who may be researching the
individuals named.

The marriage of Miss
Mary Jackson and N. T. Richardson, was an interesting event of June 29, in
Murfreesboro. After a southern bridal trip Mr. and Mrs. Richardson will be at
home in Grand Junction, where the groom has business connections. In the
photograph the bride and groom are seated, and standing behind them are members
of their bridal party, as follows; Miss Rubye Jackson, sister of the bride,
bridesmaid; Ralph Fitzgerald, of Nashville, groomsman; Bert R. Hollandsworth,
of Nashville, best man; and Miss Lera Jackson, sister of the bride, maid of
honor. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. A. J. Jackson, of Middleton.”

Mary Jackson's mother was Myra Victoria Jackson, and her sisters were Madelyn, Lora, Lenna and Rubye. Brothers were George Woodroe and Alfred Edison. Also had a half brother, James Thomas and a half sister, Lucy. I know quite a bit about this family.
