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.
