It was 100 years ago this month that Margaret Thompson, a quiet young lady from Giltner, Nebraska, married a young man from Illinois, 22-year-old Rayburn Cunningham. They tied the knot on February 5, 1909 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The rest, as they say, is history!The snapshot above was taken in 1959 as they were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in California, where they often visited daughters living there. They had nine children, seven of whom grew to adulthood. Among them was their oldest daughter, Eva, who married James Thomas Galey in 1933. Their family spurred the creation of this Galey Family Archive! Our thanks to Carl Wells of Valentine, Nebraska, for sending us this photograph. We've seen similar ones taken at this event -- but not this one!
