Oscar Steele and Florence Dulaney

After reading an earlier post, Cousin Don Dulaney remembered sharing the above photograph of Oscar Steele and Florence Dulaney with me. The photograph, which was originally shared with Don by Karen Blue, is a perfect follow-up to the posts last week.   Karen's grandfather, Charlie, was Florence Dulaney Steele's brother.

Oscar Steele was the son of Joshua Taylor Steele and Melvina Raper while Florence was the daughter of Joseph Benjamin Dulaney and Martha Johnson. Oscar and Florence had thirteen children: Martha Melvina, Rhoda Velmer, Cecil, Norma Ester, Clyde, Berlin, Exie, Trumal McCleland, Ralph Wayne, Willa Dean, Emma Jean, J. T., and Grady.

In the 1930 census, the family can be found in Mississippi County, Arkansas:
