Notes
Note 1
I can fill in some details on the Gardner family, Grover, Tenney, and Maude.
1.Tenney Gardner's parents were John Felix Gardner and Ella Gardner. John was born in 1868 and died in 1944.
2. Maude Hough Gardner died before 1924. Grover Gardner's second wife was Ella Glenn. As far as I can tell, Ella did not have any children.
3. Grover Gardner died on December 4, 1936. He was born in 1886.
I hope this information is helpful. I've been trying to trace Grover back to the other Gardners that lived in the Tupelo area of Jackson County, Arkansas. I found your information very helpful.

James O. Gardner (1821-1890), son of Joseph and Elizabeth (McLaren) Gardner, and his brother, Neil M. Gardner, moved to Jackson County, AR in the late 1850s. For a few years after the Civil War, J.O.
