1st marriage: W.M. Greer and Luella Watts obtained a license to marry in Etowah County on March 26, 1878. Bond was made by W.M. Greer and N.F. Greer. Record states, "G.W. Watts comes in person & gives his consent for his daughter to marry W.M. Greer." The marriage ceremony was performed "at G.W. Watts in Etowah County" on the "4th day of April, A.D. 1878." It is signed by "T.H. Dozier MG" (Minister of the Gospel.) 2nd marriage: R. A. Waid and Mrs. Ella Greer obtained a license to marry in Etowah County on November 8, 1882. Bond was made by R.A. Waid and H. L. (could be an I. or a stray mark) Brasher. This marriage ceremony was performed "at Bride's fathers" on 8th day of November, A.D. 1882." It is signed by "John J. Brasher, Minister of the Gospel." "L. E. Hamelin" was the Judge of the Probate Court on both marriage records. R.A. Waid's family Bible lists his first marriage to Ella Greer. Luella (Ella) was born November 3, 1860 and died July 5, 1895. I have located her grave in Hopewell Baptist Church Cemetery in Hanceville, Cullman County, Alabama near the graves of Stokes B. (Beason) Waid and Lettice Hays Waid. These are R.A. Waid's parents. Her name on the tombstone is "Louella Waide" but the dates are confirmed by the family Bible. I would like to find out information about G.W. Watts and W. M. Greer. My mother told me that Reuben Abraham Waid's first wife was married before and that she had a child (mother believed that it was a daughter) by her first husband. Any information about these two men would be appreciated. If possible, I would like to find out the name of this first child and the name of Luella's mother.
