Wyatt Scrapbook - Mrs. John Ulna Whitaker Returns to Nashville

In November2011, I purchased a scrapbook at an antiques mall in Carson, California. Thescrapbook is believed to have belonged to Laurine Wyatt. I am transcribing thearticles and documents contained in the scrapbook with the hope that it may beof value to genealogists who may be researching the individuals named.

“Mr. and Mrs. John UlnaWhitaker, who have been making their home in Detroit since their marriage onChristmas Day, have returned to Nashville to reside and will make their home onCahal avenue. Mrs. Whitaker was formerly Miss Myrtle Frogue, charming young daughterof Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Frogue.”

  

Notes:

1. Myrtle Frogue is enumerated with her parents and siblings in the1900-1920 U.S. federal censuses, first in Smith County, Tennessee, then inDavidson County, Tennessee. According to a family treeposted on Ancestry, she and John Ulna Whitaker were married on December25, 1927, in Nashville; however, I have been unable to locate a marriage recordfor the couple on either Ancestry or FamilySearch. The couple isenumerated in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, in 1930. According to the SocialSecurity Death Index, Myrtle Whitaker was born on 13 January 1898 and died inNovember 1984.
2. I have no information regarding the date of publication of thisannouncement or the name of the newspaper in which it appeared.
3. I have no information regarding Myrtle Frogue Whitaker’s relationshipto Laurine Wyatt.
