Query: Meek, Worland, Thomas, Brooks; Shelby County

     Looking for information on a Letcher Meek, B. Dec. 25, 1904 or 1906.  Son of Lawrence Bennett Meek and Caladonia Meek (nee Thrasher, nee Thomas), married to Dorothy Mae Worland or Goldie (Golda?) Mae Brooks. 

    I believe there may have been two individuals named Letcher Meek in the Shelby County area as I have conflicting information that shows Letcher Meek being in the Indiana State Prison North from 1936 to being sentenced to life in 1956, while also having city directories and a marriage application to Dorothy Mae Worland showing Letcher Meek living in Shelbyville.  Source: http://www.indianadigitalarchives.org/
