Thomas C Brindley was born in Blount County, Alabama, the son of Winston Yancy Brindley & Elizabeth Holmes-Brindley; the grandson of Mace T P Brindley & Nancy Hanby.
Thomas attended Howard College, in Birmingham. He was in the Navy during WWI 1917-1919. After the war he attended the U of Wisconsin and the Oshkosh, WI Normal School where he met his future wife Ella Anger. Thomas & Ella married on 6/17/1925 at the Anger home in Oshkosh, WI. Ella was the d/o RB Anger & local jeweler and Augusta Thews-Anger. Following their wedding, Thomas and Ella resided in Memphis where Thomas taught and coached football at the South Side HS. He later took a position as principal at Humes High School in Memphis where one of his students during the 1950's was Elvis Presley.
Thomas & Ella did not have any children. Ella died of breast cancer in 1959. I recall from my childhood, Holiday visits when Aunt Ella & Uncle Tom would travel from TN to WI for special celebrations. Following Ella's death, Thomas married Margaret Lickey. Thomas is buried next to Margaret.
