David Oscar's sister Chloe Rutledge married Clyde Yates 8 November 1908. They raised their family on the Rutledge farm in Cordova after her brothers assigned their shares to her. Sometime in late 1920 or early 1921 David moved his family to Cordova, so Charlie's baby album has several photos of his cousins.

Chloe Ann Yates, Chloe Rutledge Yates, baby Jack Yates, Charles David Rutledge
probably taken March-April 1921 on the Yates farm near Cordova, Tennessee |
Here's an undated photo of Mabel Yates holding her baby brother Jack (full name Henry Mathew Yates). He was born 19 February 1921.
Charlie told me Jack kept the family farm near Cordova after his parents died. In World War 2 he worked on the Big-Inch line, the pipeline built to bring oil from Texas to Illinois, then Pennsylvania. After the war it was converted to natural gas & became a transmission line for Texas Eastern.
