From an Unknown Newspaper in Texas

Date Unknown

I found this clipping tucked into a crumbling Victorian photo album at a flea market. I am posting the photos online on  The Olden Times, in the "Victorian Scrapbook" section. These include identified pictures of the WHARTON family, among many others.

Thanks to the good folks at the Lamar County, Texas GenWeb site (and their searchable marriage database), I was able to determine that this was Joshua F. WHARTON.  I will add more information about him (or the family) as I am able to confirm it.

An interesting history of the Blossom community may be found online.
