Jim Britton and Ala Mary Kenny McClellan married on January 1st, 1891. They married in Boone, Nebraska. It’s unknown how they met unless through family records, but Ala Mary is originally from Crown Pointe, Indiana. Below is their marriage certificate that was signed by both adults.
They were, I think, in the process of their honeymoon and traveling the Pacific Northwest and possibly out visiting Harry Marion Wade. Harry Wade was one of the brothers of Georgianna McClellan. With that came their first bundle of joy, and she was born in Orting, Washington State, in October 1891. They named her Georgia Wade McClellan. This is in reference to his mother, Georgianna Wade McClellan, and continue the family name with naming their first daughter after her.
Little is known about many of the childhoods at the turn of the century. However, Georgia Wade McClellan would marry her husband, Charles Schwarzenbach in March 1911. She would live in Denison until 1914, and then would move with her husband to Carroll. Below is a picture of Charles and Georgia Schwarzenbach.
They would operate a laundromat in Carroll, Iowa, and retire in 1945. Mrs. Schwarzenbach was also a member for nearly 60 years for the Central Lodge serving as a chaplain. Mr. and Mrs. Schwarzenbach were blessed with many children. Overall, they would have 4 daughters and three sons. They are listed below:
Both Mr. and Mrs. Schwarzenbach were able to witness many of their children’s weddings prior to their deaths.
