A. J. Hudspeth--Blind Broom Maker
In 1880 he was listed as a resident in a hotel run by L. D. Parish. In the 1900 census he is shown as married for 15 years to Arena E., maiden name unknown. Could some kind soul do a look-up for the marriage record, please? I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.
