I have one family member (my grandfather's uncle) listed as Irvan BONDS in the newspaper article accounting the details of his murder in Wilson County, TN in 1934. It also states that he "had a family of about 6 children" The only other places I've located him was on his mother's obituary (a year later) and the 1900 Jackson County, TN census living with his parents at age 7. Nothing else in between the census record and his death. Nor do I know what any of his children's names are. The paper lists his wife as Lou BONDS, and her brother (with him at the time of the attack) as Jeff TARSH. Seeing how they slaughtered BARNES...I'm not sure TARSH is correct. I've yet to locate either of them, either.
