I believe that Ben Bruner may have d. some time ago. (Check SSDI). I did learn something from your posting...I knew a Doyne Bruner, a friend from school, in fact I have a photo of him and me in Co. Springs c.1982-83. Now I know where "young" Doyne probably got his name.<:) The Ben Bruner's lived in Rio in the 1950's. I recall that Ben either had left the family by then or.....? died? So, YES, he was in the Rio area about 1957. Hope this helps a bit. Are the JENKINS, mentioned in your tagline, from Knox or Fulton Co.?
