Fearless Females, March 4: The Gammon-McKee Wedding

Yesterday I posted about Carrie Bernice McKee, the great-grandmother after whom I was named. Today I'm going to write about her wedding. She married my great-grandfather James Mathias Gammon on November 6, 1921.

On their wedding day, on the porch:


Their wedding was at her father's house, 1815 Westmoreland Boulevard, in Los Angeles, California. It was a gorgeous, huge Craftsman that still stands.

    1. I've found that greater Los Angeles is an enormous area, with lots of different types of houses. I've never seen this house in person but we have driven by, while on vacation out there, the house that Carrie and James raised their sons in. I know the house on Westmoreland is still there thanks to Google street view.

  3. Hi there Sandi! My name is Evan Jenkins. I'm currently in contract to purchase your great-great grandfather's house. My family is thrilled with its remarkable history. Do you have any additional photos or other information to share? We are planning to renovate the house and hope to restore it to the glory of this wedding day. Please let me know! evan@overarch.net
