I looked in my trusty Soc Sec Deathindex and find a Comer McBroom b. 1878 died 1973 at Jamestown in Fentress County. Prob father to the one you're looking for. Sidney Comer b. 26 Jan 1898 died Mar 1980 in Cookeville. Charles Bryant There are 413 of them but none born exactly 1885 some 1884 and 1886 George Mills I find born 19 Nov 1899 died Nov 1979 at Baxter near Cookeville There is a Rufus Whitaker born 1900, He applied for SS card in PA died in PA 11 nationwide. Perhaps descendants of these would know something if they are willing to talk. Carless Dance wrote: > Does anyone have information on the following people?
