Gentry Journal-Advance
Friday, November 8, 1912
TINKER, Francis Marion - Francis Marion Tinker was born April 7, 1833 in Washington county, Tennessee and died near Gentry, Ark. Nov. 1, 1912, which made him 79 years, 7 months and 23 days old. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss, four sons and two daughters, Wm. Tinker of Pearl, Wash.; Henry Tinker of Gentry, Ark.; Robert L. Tinker of Topeka, Kansas; Walter Tinker of Dayton, Wash.; Tilda Roberts of Gentry, Ark. and Ida Morphew of Gentry, Ark. When a young man he professed faith in Christ. Mr. Tinker has been a constant sufferer for several weeks and all that medical skill and loving care could do was done to help relieve his suffering, but without avail. Death came at last and ended for him all pain and our dear Lord that cares most tenderly for his afflicted ones will keep him forever safe. Funeral services were held at the home November 2, conducted by Rev. S.I. Harrison. The remains were interred in the Bloomfield cemetery. Friends of the bereaved family extend their deepest sympathy.
