Tommy is buried in the Matt Hickey Cemetery in Putnam Co., TN.

The oldest Hickey male buried in that cemetery is Thomas Gill Hickey.

Thomas Gill Hickey's other children (with first wife Margaret Barr) are John, who married Mary ____? (they had daughters Dossie, and Dora, and son Verdie) , Daisey, George E., Milas, and William Travis Hickey who married Malissa Carolyn Rice (children Rastus W., Mary A., Margaret T., and Odell Hickey).

His second wife Lucy (Lucille) Lafever is buried there too. Thomas 1835-1901, Lucy 1847-1928.

The next is the son of Thomas, Thomas Matison Hickey (Listed as Thomas M. Hickey in the cemetery). He was born 12 Dec 1877, and died 13 Jul 1961. I don't have information on who Thomas Matison married, or who his children were.

If I had to guess, I would think that Thomas M. Hickey and whomever he married, possibly Mary Etta Hickey 4 Apr 1887-8 Sep 1975, buried there too, were the parents of Thomas C. Hickey.

Thomas C. Hickey's wife buried next to him is Geneva I. Hickey born 7 Feb 1926, with no death date.
