The family requests that memorials be made to Gibson Baptist Church, Gibson TN 38338. Bodkin Funeral Home in Humboldt was in charge of arrangements.

    Notes:

    You raise an interesting question. Although I have an Ira Brasfield in the data base, of about the right vintage, he shows a different wife. I have added Lula Pearl Peal as a daughter of John Henry Peal and Nancy Jane Hay, and will try and research the exact connection. A quick check of the LDS and Ancestry.com internet data bases don't help much, other than to show some likely siblings for Nancy Hay. Thank you very much for the information provided. If anything else turns up, I will let you know. Mike Brasfield
