"My mother and father William B. Bill Lester
And Dora Anna Waugh were married on Christmas Day. 12/25/1965 Their wedding certificate has the wrong day, it says the 23. I can’t provide proof because the proof was filled out wrong. My mom is still alive and can verify it. Also my dad’s mom was Pearlie Lee Lester not Jane Hatfield. She was a woman Lity Lester married after Pearlie died."
