Martha Jane Batson Fleming Odom & Family Photo About 1910
This is a photo of my maternal grandfather, N. D. Fleming, in about 1910. He is the young boy, and pictured with him are his sisters, Alma and Nancy. His mother is Martha Jane Batson. The man is her second husband, James T. Odom. They were married in 1909, in Marion Co., Mississippi. Martha's first husband, and her children's father, Benjamin Franklin "Pat" (I have no idea why he was called Pat, but he was) Fleming, died in 1908.
Here's a family group sheet with what I know about this family:
