Walter's uncle, Walter W. PAGE had given the newlyweds a track of land in Greenwood, Caddo Parish as a wedding present. The entire family went to visit the couple on their farm late in 1891. During their visit, Thomas Hardeman ODEN became ill and died January 25, 1892. The family never returned to Tennessee. Any help on this family would be appreciated. Noel Matthews noelm@noelm.com
