• Notes

  He was the grandfather that we children never knew. He died by our standards very young (about 43) and so we know very little about him. He had TB and is reported to have gone to Florida on an occasion before his death to see if the climate would help. Little was known at that time about TB so this did not. He is reported by those who knew him as a "ladies man" always having about him beautiful ladies. IL died at 8:30 AM on a Tuesday and was buried between Lafayette and Red Boiling Springs in a private plot on his farm across the road from the home he built for his family. I.L. owned a store in Fountain Run, KY for a period of time. Like most stores, a lot of the customers could not pay for their goods until harvest time. His store burned before harvest on e year and most of the debt he was owned was not paid. He then moved with his family to Webb Town, TN a few miles east of Lafayette, TN. He bought a 70 A farm and build a house on then or the side of the road. There were lots of fruit and nut trees on the farm all was going well . The house was built and he gave the outside a coat of brown undercoating paint to seal the wood. He died and it was never painted while the family lived there. Everyone knew of the brown house outside of town.
