Council was my grandfather. As I understand it, he left for lunch one day and never returned.He later married my grandmother, also Minnie, Minnie Stilwell or Stillwell.I believe he is buried in the cemetery in Paragould, Arkansas.
We really have no solid information on his ancestry.There is some legend in the family that a family bible once existed that identified his father or grandfather as a Moses Fain who came from Ireland.My grandmother told my mother than Council's "people" came from Tennessee.
Council was a "horse trader" (literally) when he met my grandmother.
