    1. Re: [TNHENDER] Walter H Wilkins
    2. Jimmy, something you might want to try is to contact the correspondent who writes the BLUE GOOSE community column in The Lexington Progress newspaper, Lexington, HeCoTn. Her name may be WILMA COGDELL. At least that is name on a recent Blue Goose column that I have in my scrapbook under Blue Goose. Ms. Cogdell might write about your quest in her column (probably for FREE). I read this column ever issue of the "Progess" as that area is of prime interest to me. I read in Blue Goose column that many of the people who live in that area get together at Poplar Springs Cafe. Also, the Blue Goose correspondent writes about history of that area sometimes as well as its people (from your query, you wrote, WALTER H. WILKINS: "he ran a store/resturant in the Blue Goose area"). If you get the locals talking, you may find a contact. I don't have Ms. Cogdell's address, but below is an email I used to contact the editor of The Lexington Progress, try it to see if "Progress" staff can put you in contact with Blue Goose correspondent. By the way, give "Progess" staff time to contact you, they are sometimes slow. email: The Lexington Progress newspaper, Lexington, TN Lexprogressnews@bellsouth.net  If above email address no longer works for "Progress", then visit www.switchboard.com to find "Progress" address and telephone number. Also, while you are on website of switchboard, might want to search your WILKINS surname, you may spot a relative, just never know. Hope this helps, Linda your query: "I am looking for information on Walter H Wilkins.  He was born in May 1880.  In the 1900 Census, He is living in the household of Mark Wilkins, listed as a nephew.I am told that he ran a store/resturant in the Blue Goose area."
