Martha Malvertie Webb was born on October 9, 1892, in Itawamba County, Mississippi.  Her parents were James Montgomery Webb and Lydia Ann Bowen Webb.

She married on November 23, 1918 in the New Home Church there to Curtis Wesley Mattox, who had just gotten back from a tour of duty on the U.S.S. Minnesota (a battleship) during World War I.  His parents were Dennis Moman Mattox and Nora Jane Reeves Mattox.  He was born on January 10, 1894, also in Itawamba County.  Curtis was a farmer and had a country store.  He got a pension from the Navy and also relied on that.  He had been in a battleship in the war and the large guns had permanently damanged his hearing.  During the war, his ship was torpedoed once, but not sunk.  He had lots of pride.  He also had all of his teeth when he died.  He died from prostrate cancer.  It took five years to do it, but he finally passed away from it.

Two years later, they had their first child, a boy they named Sanders Webb.  Three years later, a daughter, Nora Corrine Webb, and ten years after that, another daughter named Clisty Helen Webb.

Curtis passed away on December 14, 1978, in Amory.  He was buried in New Salem Cemetery, Itawamba County.
