In 1940, seventy-two years ago today, my parents (Mr. and Mrs. Marion Edward Love, Sr.), got married here in Vicksburg. Dad was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and came to Vicksburg at the age of nine years old when his Father (James E. Love) was transferred to Vicksburg with the Illinois Central Railroad as a telegraph operator. My mother, Evelyn, was born near Fort Smith, Arkansas and not sure when she came to Vicksburg. I was the first born, my sister, Laura and then my brother, Marion, Jr., now deceased. I love very old photographs and of course this one is very special to me and in memory of their wedding anniversary today!
