I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the family of Zelma Flowers McNeely, and trust they will not be upset that I have posted her obituary on the Gibson and Obion County lists, as well as my personal Dickson list. I do not know whether Mrs. McNeely's family is descended from Thomas McNeely who married Letha Dickson, but if so I would dearly love to correspond with them. My ggggrandfather John Dickson was Letha's father. Following is the obituary which appeared today in The Commerciall Appeal and all I know of Letha's marriage and children.
