  • Notes 
    • Grandpa was married before he met our Grandmother. His first wife's name was Edna Sexton. In some documents her last name is spelled Secton.

      Grandpa walked to town every day (about 3 miles) to talk with his friends and learn the latest news and gossip. Grandma would wait up for him at night to hear what he had learned.
