Hi folks, I was wondering if you have any records, pictures or memories of my GG-grandparents, Sidney Thornton Campbell and his wife Maudie Emeline MCKINNEY-CAMPBELL. Sidney died in Gibson County in 18APR1951, but his obituary stated he lived for a time just east of Greenfield along a Rte.#2 as a farmer who rented the land. After Sidney died, his wife Maudie (who was in her 60's herself) seemed to have just dropped off the face of the earth. Does anyone have anything about them during their time in Weakley?

Cheryl, I got some information from my cousin who grew up in Weakley Co. and whose Mother still lives just a mile or two from the Kimery CofC building. He says that the congregation merged into the Greenfield CofC about 4 years ago and that one of the Kimery members bought the building and plans to use it for something farm related. Ivan Ivan A.
