Transcriber note: The CLINKINBEARD/CLINKENBEARD surnames can be found for certain individuals within the same family. Leslie E. "Mike" CLINKINBEARD used that version in life and on his headstone, but the obituaries for his wife and daughter as published inadvertently used the CLINKENBEARD surnames. Their headstones, however, do use the CLINKINBEARD surname spelling.
