Oral history given to me by this family was that Thad fell of a horse
and
died. Someone else said in their notes he "died young." The newspapers
casts
great asperions on an accidental death.
Just as a side note
my great great James Robert Chamblee "fell off a horse and died", but what
made him fall off was a heart attack
not really pertinent to the discussion, just made a bell go off
