Karla Butler Everett and Crocker-L,

Lockie Mae Warren married Leon Colley Crocker, my Grandfather's (Thomas
Fred Crocker) brother.

I have Leon Colley Crocker's date of death as 25 July 1955, and buried at
Pleasant Green Church near Idlewild, TN between Milan and Bradford TN. In
my Granddaddy's Bible is listed LC Crocker born Mar 7, 1889.

Lockie Mae Warren, I have Born 25 Dec 1892 and Death 28 Dec 1977.

I have a picture on a cardboard backing passed down to me from an Aunt.
The picture shows 7 men, 7 women, two teenagers (my Dad and his sister) and
seven children. This picture could be copied, my guess is that it might
have been made in 1915 - 1920 time frame.

The names I have listed on the back are Monroe and Kate (the one sister)
Bullington, Thomas Fred and Vercie Mae Lemond Crocker, Tollie Crocker, T M
(no name, just initials) Crocker, L. Colley Crocker, Everette Crocker, D R
"Boss" Crocker, and four wives standing front of their husbands. In front
is their Mother, Sarah (Sallie) Crocker. The teenagers are my Dad, George
Ethelbert Crocker and his sister, Bessie Louise Crocker (Welch Greenway).
I do not have the names of the seven small children sitting on the ground
in front of their grandmother.

Sarah "Sallie's" husband and the Father of these seven adult children was
Thomas Monroe Crocker who died in 1890 of pneumonia, a few months before
the youngest son was born, T M Crocker. There was an older son, Charles, I
think, that died about the time their father, Thomas Monroe Crocker died,
both of pneumonia.

I knew 'Uncle T M' Crocker and his wife, 'Aunt Lillie'. At least one of
their sons is living in Memphis, E. Gordon Crocker and some others in Milan
TN. I can find Gordon Crocker's address and phone somewhere. I suspect he
could tell more about Colley and Lockie's family, since these would be his
first cousins.
