Husband of Sarah Kathryn Hundley Tatum; son of Samuel Tatum; father of Madeline;grandfather of Linda and Janet Berkeley and James Seehafer; farmer; during the Depression a prison guard at Eddyville; rumered to have played cards with John Dillinger; loving, kind, probably a bit puzzled by the modern world; when Linda was a small child, used phrases like "I'll tan your hide like that dog in the road back there" to scare me but never would have harmed a hair on my head; adored me because I was Madeline's daughter and adored his beautiful daughter. Loyal and kind to his wife, to the point where she couldn't bear it when he died.
