There is a bit of a discrepancy regarding the birth year of Thomas Almond Cardwell. His death certificate notes a birth year of 1898. Yet, his World War I draft registration card notes a birth year of 1897. Both sources give the birth month and day of 11 May. Both also state Thomas' birth place was Gonzales, Texas.
Thomas was (records suggest) the last son born to William Alexander Cardwell and Edna Katherine "Kate" Lincecum. He married Ella M. Sinclair 14 April 1923 in Bexar County, Texas. This was just three weeks before Thomas' older brother Percy married Emma Kate Lankford, also in Bexar County. Thomas and Ella divorced sometime between 1940 and 1951.
Thomas A. Cardwell died 26 March 1951 in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. He was laid to rest the next day in Mission Burial Park.
