Rose Neal, Madeline Tanksley, & Homer Sheeks

Madeline, while pregnant with her third child, had had to have her leg amputated due to bone cancer. Eventually she was fitted with a wooden leg prosthesis. She went on to have two more children, and was a wonderful mother, wife, and daughter. She and her husband, Kenneth Tanksley, had been married nearly sixty-four years when he died.
Kenneth (8 Oct 1906-4 March 1995) was the son of William and Ada (Martin) Tanksley. I remember him taking my family when I was a little girl on a tour, in his capacity as a park ranger at the Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell.
