This photo is in Betty Nix Curbow's collection. It is marked as Grandma Pattie McKern and the photo is quite old. I have no McKern listed in the family history anywhere. Does anyone have any information on this relative? Posted by Hello


Janis Nix Travis and Tommie Joe "Jody" Travis, August 21, 1965 - I'm assuming this was the day AFTER the wedding since it's daylight and Jody is out of his suit and Janis is no longer wearing the little pillbox hat she wore at the wedding. Mom's wedding dress is TINY. It's smaller than a size 0. A couple of years ago, I had it preserved and put away with some other family heirlooms. Posted by Hello
