The photo is of my grandparents, Leslie Richard, and Lelia Julia (Jewell)
Knoblock.
They were married 7 March 1914 in Texarkana, Miller Co., AR.
I don't know what the importance of the tree is
or if it is just where they posed for this photo. They had a
couple of other photos by this tree. Leslie R. Knoblock's
parents were Louis Kossuth Knoblock & Sarah Elizabeth Nobles Knoblock.
Lelia Julia's parents were Henry W.
& Julia (Alford) Jewell.
