Rutha Orear and Hollis Prestage

This couple has been identified as Itawamba natives Rutha Orear and Hollis Prestage. That is quite a snappy looking automobile they are posing in front of. Notice how the doors are opened on either side.

Rutha was the daughter of Walter and Minnie Jamerson Orear while Hollis was the son of John A. and Minnie Dell Senter Prestage. As far as I know, Rutha and Hollis were just friends - they each were married to someone else.

Thanks to Alan and Jeannette Dulaney for sharing the photo.
