NOTE: Laverne Arthur Tanner was reburied in Greenwood Cem., Brownsdale. NOTE: Dates are based for the most part on the basis of family records and information on the tombstones in the cemetery. Many minor variations occur, and for the most part differences found in county records in the courthouse have been ignored since these legal records do not seem particularly accurate. Several times a difference of a day or two in the date of death occurs and I tended to attribute these differences to the lack of strict accuracy on the part of the doctor who made out the certificate and signed it, possibly at a much later date.
