Arthur Sampson Sikes was the Charter Chaplian at the Masonic Lodge (Bakerville area) in 1867. After Arthur’s death the family seemed to scatter. Speculation is that some migrated to AR and some to the boot heel area of MO and some returned to Obion and Lake Counties in western TN. Arthur is buried in an unmarked grave in the Bakersville area and no idea of whatever happened to his wife, Rebecca who was believed to have been about 46 years of age when Arthur died. She may have remarried, she may have gone on to AR with her children - or not. Her family is from Stewart County, TN and she may have moved there to be with siblings. This is all pure speculation.
