Hi,

Looking for descendants of the following Germanna descendants:

Benjamin Perry (aka Ben Perry) TANNER, Sr., the only child of Bertha D.
(AYLOR) TANNER to survive to adulthood and marry. I don't have a date
of death for him, but the last I have on him is that he was living in
St. Petersburg, Florida in July 30, 1956, the date of death for his
aunt, Miss Anna AYLOR. His wife, Jessie Lee (CLEEK) TANNER, died on
March 25, 1968 in Grant County, Kentucky, but I don't know where she is
buried (She is not indexed in "Boone Co., Ky., Cemeteries" by Fitzgerald
& Worrel). B.P. Tanner, Sr. & wife had two children. They are:

1.Jean Ann TANNER -
Born Sept. 3, 1922 in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio -
Died ________, ____
Gravesite Unknown (Burial: ________ (__________); tombstone
inscription:
____-____)
----------
Married?
Children?

2.Ben Perry TANNER, Jr. (SSN: 401-30-5870) -
Born July 28, 1925 in Tampa, Florida -
Died April __, 1978 (Residence: 23803 (Petersburg, Va.) (SSDBI))
Gravesite Unknown (Burial: ________ (__________); tombstone
inscription:
____-____)
----------
World War II, Combat Engineer
----------
Married?
Children?

In case it should help to fit B.P. TANNER, Sr. into a known TANNER or
CRIGLER database it might help to know that B.P. TANNER's father was
L(l)ewellyn Crigler TANNER (b. June 9, 1866 - d. Nov. 29, 1926/June 11,
1950).

I don't know where L.C. TANNER is buried, but suspect he is beside his
wife, Bertha D. (Aylor) TANNER. I have two dates of death for him, but
was unable to find an obituary for him in 1950, so the 1926 date may be
more accurate. I have yet looked for his obituary in 1926, but the
microfilm roll for 1926-27 is only 22 feet long, so there are apparently
a lot of missing issues that didn't get microfilmed.

L.C. TANNER's father and mother were:
Benjamin C. (aka Ben, Benny) TANNER (b. Feb. 8, 1837 (in Boone Co., Ky.)
- d. July 25, 1931 (in Florence, Boone Co., Ky.)) & Sarah Frances (aka
Fannie) CRIGLER (b. Jan. 21, 1846 (in Ky.) - d. April 7, 1934)

Would appreciate any info about this family. Thanks. Philip Naf
