Well if you know anything about East TN when you say Mountain Home it is the Military Cemetery in Johnson City well we called up there and there was know record for eather name. Well we scrached our heads for sevveral weeks and ask alot of people. I pulled his obit from the Knoxvlle Journal and it states he was taken to Powell Station. Funeral was at the Methodist Church and Burial would follow. So a day trip follows, Powell UMC. does not have a cemetery after asking the locals we find that Mt. Hermon was where the Methodist buried in the area. well after going back home on Findagrave.com we find the cemetery and name by name go through the burials and we find W.D. Hinds after pulling his Death Certificate we find he was the son of Wm. E. and Louisa. Well trip 2 to the cemetery we find the Grave of Willis D. there are 2 unmaked graves next to Willis and Between a daughter of Bettie Headrick who was another daughter of Wm E. Hinds and Louisa well after talking with the granddaughter of Bettie we find she knew who the daughter was Verda Mae she said she knew a Dr. who was a life long member of the church after talking with his wife we find the Church was called Mountain Home. So know we have the burial place of Wm E. and Louisa Hinds.
