I've been looking for info on the sisters of William F. Tune (1884-1962, AL, my paternal great grandfather) he was born 19 Mar 1884 and died 26 March 1962. From what I've found, he had the following sisters:

S. Isabel Tune - born about 1870
Sophrona Tune - born about 1873
Famie E. Tune - born 2 Dec 1892 died 5 Jun 1981 married Jack Bolton

Their father was David Tune 1848 - 1930, also from Alabama. Any info on birth, death, marriage, children would be greatly, greatly appreciated! Thank you!

*Edit: April 6, 2015*
I found in my father's old possessions, when he had done a bit of researching, a copy of a marriage certificate. That reads "Jas C. Nickles and David Tune signed bond for Jas C. Nickles and S.A. Tune. They were married at Pocahontas Church in Carbon Hill, Alabama by Minister T.B. McCain." Marriage date is listed as September 26, 1898.

Since David Tune was the father to these sisters I am trying to locate information on, I'm wondering if "S.A. Tune" mentioned in the marriage certificate is Sophrona. I have tried looking up info for Jas C. Nickles through the web and findagrave and am not coming up with any additional info.

**Update with some info I was able to find**

Sophronia Angeline Tune
Born = Feb. 26, 1877 in Walker county, Alabama
Died = Oct. 11, 1948 in Carbon Hill, Walker county, Alabama

She married James C. Nichols (1879 - 1968) on Sep. 26, 1898 in Carbon Hill, Walker county, Alabama.

I could only locate information on one of their children, James Clifton Nichols. He was born Nov. 22, 1902 and died Jul 20, 1929 all in Alabama. He died from a coal mining accident. He married a Gladys Donaldson (1905-1990), who went on to marry another man and moved away from Walker county.

I am certain Sophronia had more children, but I cannot locate any more info on a free account.

S. Isabell Tune
Born = Dec. 26, 1871 in Walker county, Alabama
Died = Nov. 2, 1956 in Carbon Hill, Walker county, Alabama

She married Roby McGough (1871-1956) on Oct. 9, 1890 in Walker county, Alabama.

I don't know if they had any children together, as I was unable to locate any information with my free account. I'm also not sure where either of these ladies are buried, but I'm certain it would be somewhere in Walker county, Alabama.

Thank you kindly.
