WE lost our sweet sister Karen on Oct 5, 2013. We lost our beloved dad on Dec 28, 2013. It was a very sad time for my brothers and me. We miss them everyday still.
My sister is buried next to my mother in the Cave Springs Cemetery on Highway 73 in Logan County. My dad is buried at the Stevenson United Methodist Chapel next to his parents Charlie and Sadie Thornton, and brother, Raleigh Franklin Thornton.
Dina, thank you for the post, and I am very sorry to hear about your loss. When I return to Kentucky in March, I will update the info. If you perchance have photos of them, I will attach to their obituaries.
Thank you,
Will
Hey Will,
If you want to make a correction some time on Lillie Frances Thornton, I'll give you the information. She was born in Franklin, Kentucky on April 20, 1897 and died in Athens, Limestone County, Alabama on Nov 30, 1982. She is buried at Stevenson Cem. Her first marriage was with James (Jim) Riley Goad and they had two children. One was my mother Nettie Francis Goad and she had a brother, Willie Winfred Goad. She divorced Jim and married John Mott Qualls and had 3 Children Wayman Lee Qualls and Robert Wilford Qualls and they had a daughter, Betty Dean that died in infancy. My mother was the only one that ended up in Alabama. Robert was born and raised in Allen County, Kentucky and still lives there. Wayman was also raised in Allen County, but in his later years roamed around a lot. He did live for awhile in Alabama then moved on to Georgia and a few other places. He died in Floyd County, Georgia , but is buried in Harmony Church Cemetery in Allen County. Uncle Robert is
92 years old and still living. Wayman had two children Norris Lee and Vickie Sue, Vickie passed away from Cancer of the kidneys, several years ago. Norris is still living in Allen County. Robert had two children Steve and Deborah, both are still in Kentucky. Mothers brother, Winfred lived in Nashville for a long time, then took a vacation to Tampa, Florida and liked it so well he moved down there and died there.He married Rosie Schoate and had 5 children Barbara Jean, died young, Martha Louise, Mary Lou, Thomas Winfred and Donald W Donnie Goad. My mother married Robert Grover Green, Jr and had three children, James Richard, Robert Joseph And Brenda Kay Green, me and Brenda live in Limestone County, Alabama. Jim moved to Lynville, Tennessee. I'm hoping sometime to figure out where old William came from.
