Mr. Jack Francis and Della May Waller were married Jan. 31, 1933

Mr. Jack Francis was a man that liked to visit and talk with his
friends and neighbors about mutual interests and family.
He was a family man and had the respect of family and friends.
He would make mention of of people that he thought were rich.
But,when all was said and done he was the most rich of all, because
He left a lasting legacy of a family that turned out successful.
This proves that wealth is not in what you have, but what you are.
I am proud to have known Jack Francis. Della May was also an attractive woman
of great integrety and a mother that anyone would be proud to call Mom.
J.H.R.
