By oral history, this block descended in the family of Sue Weakley (1890-1965), daughter of James Harvey Weakley (1856-1937) and Mary Mai Winston Anderson (1857-1943) of Nashville. In 1921, Sue married Arch Erwin McClannahan (1888-1986). The block passed to Mary Fishburn of Donelson at Mr. McClanahan's death. It was purchased from Mrs. Fishburn on July 1988 by Charlie and Laura Barrett, and later sold to the consignor, a private Middle Tennessee collector.
