    1. [TNCARROL] Cary-Cedar Grove Community
    2. I am new to the Carroll Co. TN mail list. The majority of my research is in Henderson Co. and Decatur Co. TN. Someone on the Henderson Co. TN mail list told me that Cedar Grove is in Carroll Co. TN and not Henderson as I originally thought. I hope someone can help me with the date of birth of Alma D. CARY, where she was born, and where she is buried. Alma D. Cary is the daughter of John C. Cary and wife Sarah Jordan Cary. (See obit below of Sarah Jordan Cary.) Alma D. Cary married Millard Filmore "Phil" Dunkle on 21 Dec 1919, marriage information recorded in Henderson. Co. TN. Phil Dunkle was born Decaturville, Decatur Co. TN. Alma and Phil Dunkle at one time lived in Leavenworth, Kansas. They had 4 children: Mildred, Dorothy, Charles and Margaret. Alma and Phil Dunkle later divorced. Phil Dunkle worked at Leavenworth Federal Prison, Leavenworth, KS. Phil retired from there, moved to Orlando, FL, remarried and had one additional son, Phillip. Alma D. Cary is listed as Mrs. M.F. Dunkle in below obit. I am researching Alma D. Cary because of her connection to Dunkle family of Decatur Co. TN. Thank you.
