Rhodes Funeral Home in charge.
	Surviving are three sons, C. B. Drinkard, Troy, E. C. Drinkard, Baltimore, Md.,
and H. G. Drinkard, Houston, Texas.  [These sons would be Clarence, Cornelius,
and Horace Gilbert.  A number of other children, as well, are named in censuses
as being born to E. H. and his wife, Mary Ella Stinson, all of whom must have

Additional Comments:
At the time of U.S. censuses 1900 through 1920 – and maybe earlier as well – Mr.
Drinkard lived in the Darby’s Beat area of Pike near Henderson.  In 1930, he
lived with son Clarence and family on Montgomery Street in Troy.
