Notes |
- He is found in many articles and sources with the double 'L' spelling. However, because his headstone is the single 'L' spelling, It appears that must be how he really preferred to have his name spelled.

In a book I purchased I found an obituary for a James T. Trolinger, age 91, of Pulaski, VA. It is VERY lengthy, but here is the pertinent genealogy info: "Mr. Trolinger was a son of John and Mary Wygal Trolinger. April 8, 1886 he married Mary E. King and to this union the following children were born: John Edwin Trolinger, Henry Lewis Trolinger, William Pierce Trolinger, William Pierce Trolinger, Ellen King Trolinger, and twin girls who died at birth.
He is survived by one son, Henry Lewis Trolinger, of Johnson City, Tenn., one daughter, Mrs. Walter Price, Pulaski, and four grandchildren, Mrs. Stanyarne Little of Johnson City, Tenn., Mrs. R.J. Waugh, Pulaski, James T. Trolinger, Elizabethton, Tenn., and Lewis S. Price, Pulaski." The article also states "He was born and reared east of Dublin. His father, John T. Trolinger, named that town, and joined with Stephen Trinkle, grandfather of former governor E. Lee Trinkle in donating the railway station site, and he was 12 when the first train ran to that stop." The article names numerous pallbearers and flower bearers, with many famiy names included. There is no date on the article, but based on articles on the backside, I think the year of death would be 1935. If interested in a copy, please contact me.
