I have been searching for my grandpa’s father for a number of years now. You wouldn’t think it would be that difficult, but I’ve found that information at the turn of the 20th century to be rather limited and with the loss of the 1890 census a road to no where. What I do know: 1. William Franklin (Frank) Chandler was born in AR in 1905 to “Frank” Chandler and Sarah M “Ada” Chambers Davis Dunn. “Frank” died after grandpa was born and Ada came back to AL, most likely Franklin Co as her parents were in Russellville. 2. “Frank” had a son from a prior marriage, Chester born 1895 TX, who must have come back with them. He later married Mary “unknown” who was born in AL. In 1920, they were in Yell Co AR. In 1930, they were back in AL living in the Bethel community, Colbert Co. They had 4 children: Herbert, Juanita, Alice, and William. Chester died in 1933 and William was born that same year after his father’s death. 3. Herbert worked for the TVA and William lived in Muscle Shoals off Sixth Street. Their mother died in the 70’s and both Chester and Mary are buried at Gargis Cemetery. It’s my belief that “Frank” Chandler met and married Ada probably in Franklin Co. Ada’s 2nd husband, Walter Dunn, died in the early 1900’s and again she probably went back to her folks. I am relating this in hopes that someone can help me with finding the families of Herbert and William. My dad knows that Herbert worked for the TVA (Wilson Dam) and stayed in the area. Dad also told me that William lived up the road from my grandparents. I’m hoping that information may have been passed down relating to “Frank” since Chester was about 10 years older than my grandpa and would have memories of his father. Any help would be appreciated.
