Tombstone inscription: L.T. Trammell 1852-1931. Buried next to his wife. Interview with Aunt Deale (Burns) Trammell says his name is Lewis Daniel Trammell and he married Mary Margaret Stevens. Lewis's father's name is W. L. Trammell, says Deal in interview on 12 July 1985. A Daniel Tramilll is buried at Thompson Cemetery that I highly suspect is the father of W.L. and the grandfather of Lannie.
