Wedding Invite, Annie & Jonas

By GeeNeeVah -

This is the actual wedding invation with the name spelled "Colensworth". The rest of the family, shown in family bibles, spells the name "Collingsworth". Can't really know for sure which is correct. Now "Annie" was Jonas's pet name for her, her given name was Marth Ann Collingsworth. She's the pretty lady in the lower picture to the right with two children.

To the left is Martha "Annie" and daughter Geneva, a slew of other folks of which I think their names may be in the family tree. I know that in 1916, "Charlie" the oldest and first born Milbourne was still alive as he was shot in 1923 by a "shell-shocked" buddy from WW1 but more on that later. I think it's Jonas on the end in front to the right. If you look at one of the photo's to the right, that mustache is familiar.
