Description
Portrait photograph of Clyde B. Bly and his wife, Madeline Elizabeth (Linton) Bly. Clyde is wearing his U.S. Army uniform. He was a member of the U.S. Army's Service Forces.
Clyde was born in Strasburg, the son of Anthony Bly and Mary Ellen Sager. His father died when he was quite young and his mother married again to Earl L. Row.
Madeline, or "Madge", as she was called by friends, was from Alexandria and was working at the Navy Torpedo Factory there in late 1941 when she married Clyde B. Bly.
He was drafted into the U.S. Army and sent to Fort George Meade in Maryland. Next, he was assigned to Biloxi, Mississippi, where Madge joined him.
After his service, the couple moved to the Linton Family's farm and Clyde's father-in-law helped him get a job as a railroad fireman for the Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad.
By 1950, the couple had two sons, Anthony C. and Gary W. Bly.
Clyde and Madge stayed in Alexandria until his retirement from the railroad. They moved to Edinburg after that.
The name, "Cl_d_ Bly", is written on the glass plate.
