Perry Cody and Arvilla Cody

This is brother and sister, William Perry Cody (Coady) and Arvilla Cody.  They are children of John C. and Sarah McKee Cody.   Perry was born in Oct. 1885 and Arvilla in 1888 near Denver AR.  This photo is from Betty Blevins Cody's Cedar Chest Collection.  Perry and Arvilla are siblings of Betty's husband, Lee Henry Cody!

Perry Cody married Josephine Carpenter, daughter of Eli Carpenter.  Josie was Grandpa Gaddy's first cousin.  Arvilla married Charles Henry Avery.  Charles was the son of John and Martha Jane Mattox Avery.  Martha Avery was a daughter of Redden Mattox.

The families in the photos contained in the Cedar Chest of Betty Blevins Cody all have a connection by family or place.  Sorting out the families is complicated but possible.  I want to thank Bob Thompson for sharing the photos with the Three Sisters!
