Deathly Wedding Party

My great g- grandfather Elijah Petty (1803-1881) and his second wife, Sarah Parker (1818-1897) lived and died in Fannin County, Georgia.  Then had 7 children: one son and six daughters.  This is their family picture.

Their oldest daughter was Martha “Mary” Petty (1851 – 1945) married William Peyton Walker (1848-1936).  They had eight children:  3 sons and 5 daughters.

The oldest son, William Richard Walker.  He married Alice Matilda Tiffar.  They had eight children, 4 sons and 4 dauthers.

The oldest son Lester William Walker (1909-1987)  married Odean Tanner 23 Marfch 1937.  The next to the oldest son Hobert Walker was born in 1915 and died 23 March 1937.

Brother Hobert died the same day brother Lester William married.  I found this under Hobert Walker’s cause of death:

Hobert and another boy were carrying Lester on a rail during what was called a (Sereande) to celebrate the marriage of Lester and Dean Tanner.  An accident happened to Hobert that caused him to lose his life.
