J D and Marie Juanice Sherley

Have you ever thought about how hard it is to really describe someone so that the person would have the personality, the humor and all of the traits that made them unique?? I don't think that you can convey such information or at least I can't--but I will try my level best. These two remarkable people deserve it..
Daddy was born September 16,1914 near O'Brien Texas. His father was Hiram Edward Sherley and his mother was Susan Gertrude Sherley. She died when Daddy was a baby so he had no memory of her--what he knew was what Grandpa Sherley had told him. She is buried in the O'Brien cementry near her parents. Grandpa Sherley died of pneumonia when daddy was almost 13 years old. He is buried in the Sipe Springs cemetery by his first wife and several of their children.
Mom was born August 12,1920 in Rochester. Her parents were Thead and Blanche Corley.Grandpa and Ma Blanche are buried at Rochester.
Mom and Dad knew each other as children--I remember a story about Daddy and Grandpa going over to Grandpa Corleys, seems like it was to get a dog. Well, Daddy could see Mom playing out by the side of the house and he climbs up in a apple tree and gets to throwing green apples at her. Daddy said that she was just playing hard to get and he meant for her to notice him. Ma Blanche finally told Mom to "go speak to J D or she wouldn't have a apple left on her tree."
The years passed and they remained "smitten" with one another. On July 21st 1936 they were married in Haskell Texas.One time they drove me by the house where the Justice of Peace had lived and Mom said " Right there is where me and your Daddy got married"--Daddy pipes up and says "yes, that was the happiest day of your Momma's life!
That marriage that took place in 1936 is our beginning, dear ones.. I guess you could say "it was the happiest day of all of our lives, huh?"
