The two pages from which you quoted were printed in the Knoxville Journal in
1991 from the obituary of Michael Joseph Bullard. There is one link on the
page which is genealogical work on the Micajah Bunch family which was
contributed by JACK GOINS. There is also a link to the BUNCH page by Anne
Fialcowitz which includes an excerpt from the book by JACK GOINS.
The items you mentioned were not from Jack Goins. I presented it as I found
it.
