Marriage to Clara Cromer: 12 Jul 1919 Cherokee County, Alabama
Marriage to Flora Bell Davis Jan. 15, 1965 Guntersville, Marshall County, Alabama.

When Uncle Floyd married Bell, she went by Flora. For some reason the family thought her name would be confused with his sister Cora. So, from then on, she was known as Bell.
