On January 22, 1949, Leslie & Anna Shumake Tidwell…aka….Tank & Sucky got married. 2019 celebrates 70 years of marriage.
“That girl from New Hope can still hear in her memories the sound of that boy from Siloam’s vehicle crossing the creek bridge about a mile away…the remembrance still makes her smile. Joni, John, Jane, our spouses, children & grandchildren are thankful.”
-Joni Tidwell Haldeman
