James Henderson Moran III and Charles Harrell Moran


James (Jimmie) Henderson Moran III (shown on the left) and Charles (Brud) Harrell Moran (shown on the right).  This picture was taken on the front porch of the Moran home in front of the double doors.  This was probably taken in the early 1900's as we think Jim and Harrell are in their early twenties.
The picture was found among paperwork belonging to the W.G. Timberlake family and on the back is written: For Mrs. W. G. Timberlake who was also Ida Moran.  The sister of the two jaunty fellows in the picture.

Possibly a Timberlake Home, Madison County TN

Ida Moran and William G. Timberlake were married in 1902.

And what's really nifty is finding surprises like this.  I zoomed in on the scanned image and found a woman standing on the porch.

Carolyn Elizabeth Cobb and Joseph Linton Godown - Marriage

Wedding invitation for Louise Moran and Harrell Moran II to attend the marriage of Carolyn Elizabeth Cobb (b.April 24 1907 d. June 2 1997) to Mr Joseph Linton Godown (b March 25 1906 d. March 29 1992), June 8, 1938 in Nashville TN.  Carolyn was Godown's second wife and was the daughter of Charles Henry Cobb and his first wife, Marion Moran Cobb.  The invitation reads "Mr and Mrs Charles Henry Cobb announce the marriage of their daughter Carolyn Elizabeth" but in reality Carolyn's mother, Marion Moran Cobb, died in 1934 after jumping from a bridge so the Mrs. Cobb mentioned in the invitation would've referred to Cobb's second wife and not the mother of Carolyn.
