He was born 3 Jan 1895/96 in Cocke Co, TN, and died Mar 1971/72 in Sturgeon, Boone, MO. Notes for Loyd Edward Tinker: Mom can remember grandpa talking about moving from Cocke Co, TN to MO in a covered wagon as a young boy. This move is estimated to have been just after the turn of the century, approx. 1903. In the obit, it stated that he was preceded in death by several brothers and sisters, but I am only aware of 2 brothers who also made the move to MO. Did his other brothers and sisters die in TN before the move? Or did they die on the way or after settling in southern MO?
