1. Husband of Melissa Coffey. 2. Son of Alvin C. Tannehill and Mary Alice Quick. 3. Buried at Wagoner Cemetery, Wagoner, Cherokee County, Oklahoma, USA. 4. A story about Uncle Wes and Aunt Melissa: Uncle Wes bought some mixed Christmas candy for the family at Christmas time and gave it to the children. Three of the small children liked the colored candy so much that Uncle Wes and Aunt Melissa separated it out and gave it to them. Two of the children were dead the next morning and the third died a week later. The candy had been poisoned. No one but God knows who and no investigation was held. Uncle Wes thinks it was a Black man who worked at the store that had been fired by the store proprietor the Day before Uncle Wes bought the candy. The Black man was known to hate whites.
