Questions Surround Tennessee Rep's Use of Funds for Child Burial Garden

TL;DR Summary
U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles is facing questions over a 2014 GoFundMe campaign that raised more than $23,000 in memory of his infant son, Lincoln. The initial goal was to buy plots at either Mount Hope Cemetery or Williamson Memorial Gardens and help other grieving families with the financial burden of burying a lost child. Ogles declined to answer questions about the money raised, but his office later provided a statement saying that the purpose evolved from a memorial to direct financial support for families covering the cost of funeral expenses and other needs for their children as opportunities to help arose.
