MEDLEY, NAPOLEON B.

Napoleon B. Medley was to have died in Cookeville, Putnam Co.,TN from a gunshot to the head one night in bed. He probably died in 1913 as TN Records have nothing for 1913, and NR prior. Is there a funeral home in the area that was in operation in 1913? Would there be a Sheriffs report? Oral history suggests that his widow, Mary Jane Tucker Medley married a Mr. Smith and moved to CA. Any information on my gggrandfather would be appreciated.
