       Buried: 
       Spouse: James Jones Holley (1914-1987)
         Marr: Jun 25, 1934 - Bland Co., VA



Notes: Marriage

In the 1920 census, Elkhorn, McDowell Co., WV, taken Jan. 10th, she is 17, born in Virginia (per delayed birth certificate: Jan. 2, 1902), with one child, Leona, age 10/12s, born in West Virginia. From this, unless, Leona was premature, she was born in probably Feb. 1919, and thus Irona was pregnant about May 1918, and thus probably married in early 1918. Irona turned 16 on Jan. 2, 1918, and thus probably married on that date or shortly thereafter. A later date up to about late April 1918 is also possible and reasonable. Because she was so young, it's compelling that she would have married as soon after 16 as she could.
