James Thomas Modlin
I have a little more info on my grandfather referred to in a previous posting.If this jogs anyone's memory, please let me know.First, his full name (James Thomas Modlin).Also, I have b. 5 DEC 1871 and d. 28 APR 1942. He is buried in Denham Springs (LA) Memorial Cemetery with his second wife Rosa Lee Hodges Modlin, b. 28 MAY 1896 and d. 9 NOV 1970.Miss Rosa was not my grandmother.
He may actually have been from Missouri even though my father was born in Tennessee.Thomas was a millwright and moved the family often.My grandmother (Emma Mitchell Modlin) had a boarding house in Kensett, Arkansas, according to my mother.Anyway, thanks for any info!!
