Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Charles Elbert Mink

Charles is my great grandfather. I just read to my mother Charles’ daughter-in-lay this newspaper article on Charles death.

Charles Mink was a sheriff's deputy in Claiborne County, TN and was shot and killed in the line of duty while trying to serve a warrant. He was the brother of my great great grandfather James "Cicero" Mink and left behind wife Cora Mountain Mink and several children. RIP Uncle.
