Lourice.... when you posted this obit on the Coffee History Page you began with "Hardy" not "Henry". You might want to make that correction to avoid any future confusion.

I know that there were times the paper misspelled the name Joiner/Joyner ( they did with my g-grandfather Joiner), which is the correct spelling here? Also I have Henry's mother as Nancy Jane "Janie" Taft (parents are Henry Mancil & Serena Taft) Did Nancy Jane go by Taft or Mancil, according to this obit it was Mancil. In the Atkinson Co. Cemetery Book the names are spelled Joyner. See below: Coffee County Progress ...
