Notes:

Family trees on Ancestry.com indicate that Harold was buried in Pharris Cemetery.

During the 1940 Census, James Harold Chaffin appeared on the census of his uncle James Bennett Chaffin as a "nephew" in Fresno County, California. He was undoubtedly an oil field worker as was his uncle.

Notes:

Died:
Lon was the son of Patrick and Mary Belle Young Chaffin. He grew up to marry Zula Z. Mayberry. His siblings, besides those whose graves have been found below, included another brother, Patrick Nelson "Blue" Chaffin who died in Cookeville (1923-1913) and another sister Sally E. Chaffin Locke (1911-1996). Sally was buried with her husband Gus Locke in the John L. Clarke Cemetery. (I have requested a link to her parents' memorials).

Lon enlisted in the Army on November 15, 1943. He rose to the rank of Staff Sargeant in the U. S. Army. He returned to the U.S. from Italy as a "patient," so he was undoubtedly wounded there. He served until November 26, 1945.

Lon later served as a sheriff of Jackson County and as a chief of police in Gainesboro.

Lon married Zula Z. Mayberry about 1942 in Jackson Co, Tennessee.
