Joe Truelove & Cassie Allison

Joe Truelove and Cassie Allison were born in Georgia in 1877 and 1881. They married in 1898.

Joe and Cassie had 9 children which were all born in Georgia between 1899 and 1922. 1 of these died young, perhaps stillborn. The others were Claud, Maud, Minor, Garnett, Emma, Mandy, Loy, and Ralph. The oldest and youngest were 23 years apart.

At the 1940 Census, most of the children had moved out and had families of their own. Everyone was living in a rented house except Garnett, who owned his home. Perhaps he was the first in his family to own a house.

Ralph was killed in action in World War II at age 21. Loy also served in the Navy during the War, and apparently he enlisted a few months after his brother's death.

The Trueloves were farmers. From age 10, the children were counted as "farm laborers" on the census. It is possible that the children also worked in a textile mill. According to his military enlistment record, Ralph's occupation was "semiskilled occupations in manufacture of textiles." In the 1940 Census, Loy's occupation and industry are "Doffer" and "Cotton Mill".

### Marriage

#### Georgia Marriages - Joseph Truelove and Cassie Allison

* Ancestry.com
* Apparently this marriage was recorded here 7 years after it took place. All of the other entries on the page are from 1905. For this one, the printed "19\_\_\_" was crossed out and "1898" was written in. The "recorded" date is 1905, however. Perhaps the original record was damaged and it was copied over.
