My great, great, great maternal grandfather, Mallie Harris, married
Anna Adele Allen. After Mallies death, Anna was seeing a married
man, Charles Luther Noble, and they were warned to end the affair.
It is rumored the KKK ran them out of town when they refused to stop
seeing each other. Anna, Charles, and her children moved to Port
Arthur, Texas. Charles Noble is a relative of mine on a different
side of the family. It was said he refused to marry Anna because he
did not want to divorce his wife. I found a marriage certificate
indicating Anna and Charles were married on January 18, 1923 in Port Arthur,
Jefferson, Texas. Charles family was shocked to find out he married
Anna. They insist he never divorced his wife he left in Arkansas. No
divorce decree has been located. |
