Bokchito Items

Married: At the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Shelby Sunday evening, Mr. M. L. Hickman and Miss Mary Beck, Rev. J. A. Trickey officiating. Mr. Hickman is well known in Caddo as a most excellent young man and the bride of his choice was a most charming young lady, the daughter of Mr. J. Beck, one of the substantial farmers living east of Caddo.
Kate and Cora O'Dea were sisters. They were both in the convalescent home there in Caddo for a while.
Cora was an aunt to my Mother and baptized my sister Gaynell before she died.
Both sisters were long-lived and I attended the 100th birthday of one of them at the home. They were both still living then.
