I came across this obituary and would like to ask if anyone has any additional information about this family. I believe that Clyde Sims, father of Deborah Lynn Sims, is a child of James Irving Sims and Willie Etta Catrett. Willie Etta was a child of Jesse Henry Catrett, Jr. and Nancy Anne Fowler. I "believe" that Willie Etta Catrett and James Irving Sims lived in Pike County, but I haven't been able to locate a marriage record for them. James Henry Sims and Mary Elizabeth Hines were the parents of James Irving and they also lived in Pike County, Alabama. James Sims died 05 October 1955 in Pike County, Alabama and is buried at Mt. Moriah Cemetery, Pike County, Alabama. After James Sims died, Willie Etta married Q. V. Catrett on 05 December 1957 in Andalusia, Covington County, Alabama. They were married by W. B. Henderson, Justice of the Peace on 5 December 1957. Willie Etta apparently couldn't write as she signed in the name space with an "X". There are two witnesses names on the license but I don't know if it was to witness that she made her mark or if they were the witnesses at the marriage. They are Enda R. Jones and Clara Forsyth. Enda R. Jones was also the notary public signing on the license. Willie Etta (Willie Etter) Catrett Sims lived in Brantley, Alabama when she and Q. V. Catrett married. If anyone can offer me any additional insight on the people listed here, I would be most appreciative.
