Lige Arnold (dob unknown, relation unknown) and Virginia Mae Condley. This photo was probably taken in Haskell Co., OK, Stigler or Lequire. Virginia Mae Condley was born August 1891, Indian Territory, later married Cecil Vandergriff and died in 1952- California. We are trying to find out how Lige Arnold is related, and how he is related to Carl Arnold (see previous photo). There is a Lige Arnold listed on census records in Oklahoma, but he is listed as being negro. Can anyone help solve this mystery?
